Expedition Camping Gear Tips
Before you pack your expedition camping gear take the time to lay it out and visually inspect every item to make sure it is in good condition. After that have a look at it again to insure that you really need it. How Much Expedition Camping Gear Should You Carry Do you carry books or magazines for the times when you may get bored and then all they do with them is bring them back home, unread because you didn’t have time to read, because it was too dark, you were too tired or whatever. Every piece of your expedition camping gear should be scrutinized the same way. If you do not think you will use it, don’t take it with you. (article continued below ...)

Long treks in the wilderness demand more forward thinking when packing your equipment. Expedition camping gear is similar to lightweight equipment in that it has to be able to pack light and small. Carrying a huge heavy load will do no one any good while smaller, lighter loads can usually accommodate everything you might need, regardless of the length of the trip.
Usually, expeditions are considered long hikes and will take their toll on you, and with some lasting two weeks or longer being prepared for most eventualities as well as packing light enough to be comfortable can be a trial. The idea is not just to pack only light items, but also to pack the items you will need in your expedition camping gear. Weight Matters Learn To Leave Unnecessary Items Behind You can’t get tired from hiking by leaving items you do not need at home. Before you start replacing everything in your pack with lightweight items, go through each expedition camping gear item and take out anything you will not use. If this is your first trip, it can be difficult but if you have been hiking before you know the odds of needing a particular item. If you have not used it the last two times out, you do not need it adding to the weight of your expedition camping gear. For instance, when packing you wouldn’t consider putting firewood in your pack, after all you know that you can find firewood along the trail. While water is necessary, think about if it is easier to carry heavy gallons jugs of water, or water purification tablets or tubes. By looking at your expedition camping gear with the same questions, you can separate the nice from the necessary and lighten your load. It is not always about how much you carry that makes the trip more enjoyable, but rather what is the least amount of expedition camping gear you can take with you and still have everything you need to survive.
