Special backpacking gear
Do not overlook special outdoor gear you may need.
For example, sunglasses and sunscreen might not be critical for wandering through the woods. However they are essential in deserts, on snow, or in high mountains where the atmosphere is thin. Sunburn can lead to dehydration and snow blindness can occur within less than an hour's exposure, though the symptoms may not show up until eight hours later.
What about safe drinking water? In the wild water is seldom pure so bring a portable water filter bottle. Excellent for wilderness backpackers.
All the backpacking equipment you need?
Always buy the best backpacking equipment you can afford. Your backpacking camping equipment can make the difference between failure and success for your backpacking trip. Make sure you don't forget anything important, use a checklist.
