Hiking backpack List
By David Leonhardt
Feel like hiking up a mountain? Anyone in reasonably fit condition can do it. But you should be prepared. Get yourself some hiking shoes and a backpack, and you’re half-way there. Well, not quite. You do have to fill that backpack. The list below is a good starter, but you will want to tailor the list to the mountain – not all mountains are created equal – and the season. This list is based on a 3000-foot elevation gain and a peak that does not quite rise above the tree line (let’s say, 4000-4500 feet above sea level) in September. A larger elevation gain will require more water. A trip of the tree line will expose you to more wind. A November hike will surely require even warmer clothes. - First aid kit (extra band-aids as prevention against blisters)
- Whistle, in case you get separated from friends
- Bear bell, in case you end up walking alone (or keep blowing the whistle)
- 2 litres of water (maybe a bit more)
- Snacks, lunch, etc.
- Toilet paper in a ziplock bag
- Ziplock bags
- Flashlight
- Moist wipes
- Mitts and a toque (long johns?)
- Rain coat
- Rain cover for backpack
- Fleece or other warm layers
- Sunscreen
- Bug spray
- Trail map
- Sunglasses
