Packing list

Have you thought of everything before setting out on your hike? We’ve put together a packing list for you.

Let’s go hiking! Whether you’re planning a day hike, a multi-day trip with overnight stays, or an extended hiking vacation, we’ve got the perfect packing list with all the hiking gear you need. Check off all the items on the checklist that you need—from hiking boots and a hiking backpack to a mini first-aid kit, we’ve thought of everything. To ensure you can enjoy your hike without back pain, your backpack shouldn’t weigh more than 9 kilograms, even on multi-day hikes. Have fun, and always remember: The journey is the destination!
