Backpacking Tips for Beginners


At the point when you first begin exploring, it takes a little practice to make sense of the most ideal approach to pack your essentials into your backpack. Here are few tips to remember for how to get sorted out. Where neither you nor your backpack feel heavy. As having backpacked that becomes a headache for you is the worst thing while trekking. So it is important to maintain the balance.

Make a note of things you want to carry, along with weight of each thing
Once you have a list of what you carry and the weight of each item, you’ll be able to make better decisions about what to bring and what not to bring or replace. You also won’t forget important items at home.

Pack the light weighted things in your Backpack
Don’t try to store bulky gear inside your pack. Strap it on to the outside instead using the side compression straps or cord and a few cord locks that you rig up to the pack’s external attachment points.

Keep trash bags in your Backpack
Line your backpack with an inexpensive plastic trash bag for waterproof protection. Its lighter weight and less of a nuisance than using a pack cover.

Keep the things in the order of what you have to use first
Keep things grouped by frequency of use, not by category. If you’re using moleskin at every stop, don’t keep it with your other first aid equipment. Keep it in your hip belt pockets with your pocket knife and sunscreen.

Sleeping bag positing 
Pack your sleeping bag at the bottom of the pack, medium weight items on top of the sleeping bag, and heavy items close to your spine, lighter items on the top and at the perimeters.

Keep another bag for eatables
On longer trips, keep a second, smaller stuff sack for food you want to eat for lunch and snacks during the day. At the start of each day, pack this smaller stuff sack and stash it someplace easily accessible. This leads to much less packing/unpacking during prime walking hours.

Keep the stuff that can be use for multiple uses
Find multiple uses for common items to save weight. A head net can be a stuff sack for clothing; a rain jacket is also a warmth layer; trekking sticks become tent poles. Be creative and save weight.
