Packing for Multi-Day Hikes

Packing for a multi-day hike is about carrying only what you’ll truly use. Keep weight low, place heavy items near your back, and make sure rain protection is easy to reach.

Quick Tips

Test-pack and walk 30 minutes before the trip.
Store rain jacket and snacks near the top.
Use dry bags or liners to keep insulation dry.

Checklist

Tent/tarp + stakes
Sleeping bag + pad
Water filter + bottles
First-aid + blister kit
Map, compass, and headlamp

A smart pack means fewer stops, safer miles, and a happier camp setup at the end of the day.
