If you can, start your adventure out by packing "the ten essentials." These items maintain all year round, but can be adjusted with seasonal change that will have you prepared to respond to most situations. You won't regret packing that extra layer, satellite phone, or water filter, just in case.
The Ten Essentials is a checklist system designed to help you pack the perfect backpack and be prepared for almost any situation:
- Navigation (map and compass)
- Sun protection (sunglasses and sunscreen)
- Insulation (extra clothing)
- Illumination (headlamp/flashlight)
- First-aid supplies
- Fire (waterproof matches/lighter/candles)
- Repair kit and tools
- Nutrition (extra food)
- Hydration (extra water)
- Emergency shelter
