I know there's a backpacking general already but this is gonna be quite long so might as well create my own threadI'm going on a 10-15 day backpacking trip and the closest thing I've done to this was backpacking and camping for 1 day in the mountains In this case it's gonna be mostly even terrain with easy to walk pathsMy idea is to wild camp most nights and prepare my own food, although I might stop once or twice in a camping park to wash my clothes and take a shower and charge my electronics My loadout from left to right, top to bottom (rougly):Clothes>hiking pants that turn into shorts>swimming shorts>regular sports shorts>1 longsleeve t-shirt>2 shortsleeve t-shirts>rainjacket>cap>3 socks>3 boxers (not in pic)>flip flops>small towel (not in pic)Main>sleeping pad>sleeping bag>pillow>tent>tarp to place under the tent>backpack + extra bagElectronics >GoPro + mount + batteries + battery charger box>phone >charger>powerbank?

What would you add and/or remove?Also, should I get a powerbank? Probably should get bandaids for blisters too?
>>2878443>toothpaste>>gilette>>deodorant>>shampoo>>detergentYou don't need any of that.
>>2878445>t. indianJokes aside, if it were a shorter trip I would somewhat agree, but I'm not about to go 2 weeks smelling like shitAnd I absolutely need detergent to wash my stuff, especially the cooking tools
>>2878447if you were healthy you wouldn't smell bad
>>2878447you only need the toothpaste and the toothbrush, the rest is whatever. wash your clothes between each wear and dont worry about shaving tissues and toilet paper are the same thing, bring the most compact one and if you need more steal some from public toilets
>>2878485I never take toothpaste on a hike. I just brush my teeth without it. As long as you are removing the bits of food stuck there then your mouth will be clean.
>>2878443>>giletteYou should get the Philips One Blade. I love that thing.
Alright bros I think i got everything and I'm heading out tomorrowEnded up ditching the olive oil and the longlseeve t shirtAlso found this cool web that's gonna be quite usefulWish me luck >>2878453Yeah, I've heard people say that but it's bullshitYou might not smell for one or two days but eventually you're gonna start smelling>>2878510I already have a shaving machine, the gillette is just lighter
>>2878524>tying shit to outside of bag like a n00boh no no i knew that bag looked too small for 18kg worth of stuff
>>2878524Ok, actually there's a massive storm tomorrow all day so I'll postpone it for thursdayAccepting more advice>>2878525Why not??
>>2878453>this guy thinks his shit dont stank.Retard.
>>2878525Why shouldn't I? Be very specific.
>>2878453Please use deodorant anon, there's no izzat in smelling like spicy dookie
>>2878525I've strapped my stuff to my backpack for years and never had a problem.
>>2878445>>2878447>>2878445>>2878485Crazy how you guys have turned these items into a Socratic dialogue when together they weigh literally a couple ounces.
>>2878622>>2878548it looks bad can get caught in the bushes just get a bigger bag
>>2878732>it looks bad.No it doesn't. It's a timeless look. It's in every form of media you can think of too.>can get caught on bushes.Yeah if you're a retard and go through pricker bushes or brambles, maybe. I've been wild camping since I was 13 and never had anything catch. Stop being a contrarian and go camp with some stuff strapped to your pack.
If you havent left yet, Clothing:id try to bring anti-microbial clothing so they stay clean longer, id switch out the boxers for boxerbriefs, and id throw in a beanie and shemagh Electronics:id add a powerbank if youre going to be using them often Food:Add some snacks you can eat on the move like trail mix or jerky, and you could get lighter, and more compact food with different packagingHighine: id ditch the deodorant, and add some wilderness wipes and hand sanitizer Cooking:Bring a good butante lighter, and a bic or two as backups. Water:youre good, but maybe get a more sturdy water bottle, even if its a disposable oneMisc:id add paracord, ductape (wrap it around a credit card to make it flat and compact), a small sewing kit, and definitely and first aid kit and blister kit. Pretty good set up otherwise.
>>2878687Ounces equal pounds. POUNDS EQUAL PAIN.
Get liner socks to go under your hiking socks for blister prevention, nothing ruins a trip faster
>>2878769the more things you strap on the more the weight will start moving away from your center and it does look bad like hobo mode
>>2878811No ounces equal ounces bro, we learn the concept of similarities and congruency in grade school... that saying is for low T, moleskin wearing cucks.
>>2878834Wrong and wrong again, dingus.
not enough deenz. this is what i bring for a weekend
>>2878857Are you eating catfood doing calculus and chopping down flock cameras?Also, nigger.

>>2878443canned fish is never a good idea. Attracts bears like catnip.
>>2878857At first I thought this was a troll image, but then I realized, no one would buy an entire cart of menthols just for a troll image.
>>2878857Classic /out/ load-out meme
>>2878732A compelling reason is that it negatively influences your balance.
>>2878857very funny post anon! love the creativity! how do i upvote it?
>>2879073this, specially in case of OP, since the tent is one of the most dense and heavy things, putting it away from your center of gravity will make it more difficult to walk and climb
>>2879073look above nigger
>>2878857If you break down its constituent parts this makes sense for a homeless man that steals shit. Only thing missing for the thief set is linesman pliers and bolt cutters.
>>2878443No compass?
No rain gear? Good luck, lol. The only spare clothing you should have is for sleeping. You’re going to smell like shit anyway. Clean hiking clothes are pointless, but clean sleep clothes are a nice luxury. Don’t bring canned food if you’re bothering with pack weight. Leave the bowl and eat from the pot. The whole things sound ill conceived. Is it 10 days or 15 days? Surely you’ll come to a town, which gives a chance to wash clothes. You already said you’re going to by food during the hike. They don’t have coin-operated laundry? That’s generally what everyone does on a long hike. 10-15 days is a really long distance. Is this an established trail?>>2878871This is pretty much right, except for the pillow. A stuff sack filled with clothes isn’t the same.
>>2880534>except for the pillow. A stuff sack filled with clothes isn’t the same.it's so bizarre to me that some people give so much importance to a fucking pillow. the first time i slept out i just made a roll out of my trousers or jacket or whatever and of course it's worse than a pillow but you get used to it, whatever. it's not worth it to carry around a fucking pillow
it's so bizarre to me that some people give so much importance to a fucking trousers or jacket or whatever pillow. just take a fucking pillow.
