I haven't been out much if ever. I'm wanting to go on several day or week long backpacking trips. I have not been backpacking before. I'm trying to put together a list of things I need for the trip to be comfortable and safe. What am I missing?
Tent
Backpack
Water filter and bottle
Sleeping bag
Tarp and footprint
Both a wooden and gas stove, will take whichever based off whether it's raining and if I can find dry wood
Pot and pan
Knife
I live in the PNW so it'll probably be raining and cold a lot. My sleeping bag is rated 20f. Will I be fine in multiple layers of clothes and a air sleeping pad?
Should I boil and filter all my water or is a sawyer mini good enough to drink straight from water sources?
