your backpack. Below is a checklist that will make your backpacking adventure a
pleasant experience.

backpack, do you?

major part in your backpacking adventure.
- Underwear and socks
These go without saying.
- Long Underwear
This depends on the season and place where you are traveling. You might also
wear your long underwear when you stay in hotels that do not have adequate
well-heating systems.

When you stay in backpacker hotels. Select a lightweight sleeping bag. Down is
the best type of sleeping bag. Yes, they do cost a bit more, but the prices is
well worth it. Feathers are very light and you can compress a down into a very
small package.
