Скачать или смотреть Backpacking tips I wish I knew when I started 🥲

Here are 3 tips for beginner backpackers:

1. Don't be afraid to start small!

Overnight trips are great experience!! I personally prefer 1-night trips

2. Get a properly fitted backpack

I made this mistake when I first started backpacking and suffered the consequences. Before you buy a bag, go to your local REI (or outdoor store) and get fitted by an employee. You don't have to buy the bag right away, but knowing your size can help you shop around for online sales/deals on used gear.

3. Don't worry too much about weight

Ultralight gear (and backpacking gear in general) is SUPER expensive. If you're just getting started, use what you already have, and don't be afraid to start off with heavier gear.

Want more tips?? I can definitely do a part 2!
