Backpacking Packing List was last updated on Dec 03, 2011

Who said that packing would be easy?


What to include in your backpacking packing list might be a challenge, especially for those who haven't gone backpacking at all. It might feel different to pack your things in a backpack, than a suitcase.

Personally, I find it sometimes difficult to pack.

One of the things I struggle with and the main question that keeps popping in my head is:

"Have I brought enough?"

In this article you'll find:



During my previous trips I would realise that I brought more than enough, and regretted it.

I could pack too many tops, dresses, ear rings or undies. I would curse myself because I had to throw away clothing and accessories to make space, which is expensive and unnecessary.

But over the past few years, I've learned to pack well!

I can thank my dad for this because he has taught me strict, but still reasonable packing rules. I found it unacceptable to pack my bag his way for 22 years, but then I gave up my stubbornness and realised how packing light is a blessing.

So, I want to share that knowledge with you!

Note: What you'll pack for your trip, depends of course on your gender, personal needs and will.
