Packing Guide
In order to be successful on a multi day expedition, proper packing is essential. Here we will outline the most important things to bring with you. We will break this up into two sections: 1) Day Pack and 2) Overnight Pack.
Day Pack
This is the bag that you will be carrying on your back each day while hiking. With this pack, it is important to be as light as possible while still carrying what you need for safety and comfort on the trail. Along with your Day Pack, there are some important items that you should be wearing.
