Backpacking Gear List

To help ensure we are all fully prepared for our trips, it is VITAL to use a packing list every time you pack for a trip. Even after 100's of backpacking trips, if I try to "wing it" while packing, I invariably forget something. A very useful packing list is attached to this news article for you to quickly download, print, and use to get ready. This is a "warm weather" list, geared toward our overnight/weekend excursions and it does not include items necessary for cold weather or extended trips.
