Packing for Adventure Travel

Smart packing can make or break an adventure trip. Here's what you need...

The Layering System

1. **Base layer**: Moisture-wicking synthetics or merino wool

2. **Mid layer**: Fleece or lightweight down for insulation

3. **Outer layer**: Waterproof/windproof shell

Essential Gear

  • Quick-dry travel towel
  • Headlamp with extra batteries
  • First-aid kit with blister care
  • Reusable water bottle with filter
  • Dry bags for electronics
  • Multi-tool (pack in checked luggage)
  • Clothing Strategy

  • 3-4 tops, 2 bottoms (mix & match)
  • 1 pair of hiking boots, 1 pair of sandals
  • Merino wool socks (can wear multiple days without smell)
  • Buff or bandana (multipurpose)
  • The 40% Rule

    Your luggage should be 40% of what you think you need. If you're unsure about an item, leave it. You can buy almost anything at your destination.
