PackPerfect

Camping packing list

This list covers shelter, sleeping and cooking outdoors. The tent, sleeping bag, mat and stove come to about 5.7 kg together in our estimates, before any food or water.

For days on the trail as well, tick Hiking too. PackPerfect puts items the two lists share, like the head torch and the first-aid kit, on your list once.
