Hiking packing list
This list is for days on the trail. It covers what you wear and carry while walking. For nights outdoors, add Camping too.
Hiking boots are the heaviest thing here, about 1.4 kg in our estimates. When a bag goes over its limit, PackPerfect can suggest wearing them instead.
Insect repellent is on this list even though Camping has it too, so a hike-only trip still gets it.
