Packing list – trekking
Everything that you need for trekking
There’s no question about it. A trekking tour lasting several days needs extra preparation. Our packing list will help you not to forget anything whilst saving on weight and space. It’s different to a hiking day tour – you’ve got to remember that for a certain amount of time you’ll be spending your “everyday life” outdoors. In other words, you’ll obviously need a tent, camping mat and GPS, and you’ll of course have to wash up after cooking during your outdoor adventure. And because you’ll find fewer 24-hour supermarkets away from civilisation, you’ll need to pack washing-up liquid, plates and cutlery ;)
