My Backpacking Packing List

When creating guides about exploring the outdoors, I think it's really important to share information about how to prepare for exploring! I have consolidated my (general) backpacking list. Please make additional considerations depending on the season you go!

In addition to the packing guide below, I recommend using AllTrails to download the map ahead of going offline.
