Tramping List
This list is based on a long standing comprehensive tramping list.
It keeps in mind:
- minimising weight without compromising safety is important
- it is not expected that you will have a full set of tramping gear
- it caters for a cold windy southerly day, where it rains all day, in conditions to the bushline.
Remember that cotton clothing is worse than useless, because when wet it chills you.
Wool clothing is not much better, because while warmer when wet it retains the water and also chills. (note wool socks are OK)
Gear
- pack, pack liner, pack cover, closed cell foam
- first aid kit (bandaids, small roll of leucoplast, paracetamol, lite pad)
- tiny toothpaste, toothbrush, micro towel, cloth, toilet paper (½ roll, in plastic bag), hairbrush, tiny soap
- light sleeping bag, light sleeping bag liner (optional if heavy)
- headlamp (led), whistle
