Are you planning or fantasizing about a backpacking trip? Below you will find very useful tips on how to pack and what things to consider if you go on a trip that requires you to pack smart and comfortably. It is important to think before you act on this so that your trip doesn’t end up being a pain because you brought the wrong size pack for your body, you forgot to pack some essentials, or you packed too much.
As a backpacker you’ll have to be self reliant, budget-conscious and smart about your choices. You will also have to be careful about not losing important things (like your passport) or even becoming a target to be mugged.
By choosing a bag and what you bring wisely, and determining your weight limits you’ll be thankful later.
The infographic below will guide you through making these decisions from the process of selecting a bag to tips on what you need and how to carry it.
