[ Back to packing | other travel advice ]

Carrying your life on your backThe following packing list is one we have used for any trip any where. It has anything that could possibly go in our bags for a day trip, over nighter and holidays for weeks or months.

Simply read through the list items and cross off what you do not need to take, and then tick of the others as you pack them in. At least this way there should not be anything that you forgot to consider.
