things to take when backpacking
I love to go hiking here in Oregon. I live outside of Portland Oregon and about one hour to the Oregon coast. So I will make a list of things to take when you go backpacking.
A torch/flashlight - you don’t want to be stranded on a trail with no flashlight. I have almost put myself in this position.
First aid kit - a must have. If you get cut or injured you should be prepared.
A multi-purpose pocket knife - I carry one with me and so should you.
Sunglasses - It’s nice to look cool but its also helps to protect your eyes against the sun.
Sunscreen- You don’t want to burn your skin. If your around sand or snow this can magnify the sun.
Light sheet/sleeping bag
Toilet roll
A few bin liners
