I am looking at creating my backpacking kit. I just wanted to know what people consider their top items in their backpacking kit that might not be considered “essential” (tent, clothes, cookware, etc) or what they’d recommend looking into to improve the (already great) backpacking/camping experience.
Note : alcohol is supposed to be ‘non-essential’ !
Small lightweight collapsible chair with good lower back support… Even if you bring a hammock, after a couple of days you’ll appreciate sitting up straight… Lightweight waterfilter like the sawyer squeeze… Eliminating carrying liquids is gold
did you find a good one with a good weight/size ratio ?
