Everything to pack for a backpacking trip, 35 items: the Big Four (backpack, shelter, sleeping bag or quilt, sleeping pad), then cooking, water, hygiene, camp clothing, hiking clothing, food and the small essentials: headlamp; map and navigation; first aid and repair kit. Typical weights come from maker or retailer listings.
Tick what you carry and it becomes a pack list you can edit, then send it to your hiking partner as one link.
A sound backpacking packing list starts with the trip, not somebody else's target number. There is no best base weight: weather, terrain, distance, experience, and medical needs all change what belongs in your pack. Use this gear checklist as a complete starting point, then remove what your route does not require.
Print this checklistWhere RidgeNote has enough products with a published figure, the ranges are the weights on record from maker or retailer listings, not a guessed ideal. Each count is the shelf we rank by published weight: whole items, without parts and accessories, the same count our other gear pages give.
Tick what you carry; we start your pack list from it.
Turn the checklist into a pack list you can edit and share.
