Backpacking Gear Load Out for 5 Days - West Highland Way Kit List

Here is my backpacking gear load out for 5 days thru hiking. My backpacking bag including food and 1L of water weighs 15kg. I used this camping gear to complete the West Highland Way but is also suitable for wild camping in the spring and autumn.

I packed my wild camping gear for nights that were down to -3 degrees and days up to +15 degrees. I did pack some of my winter camping gear that I was thankful for!

I have created a backpacking gear list that includes all weights and links below. I hope this helps people decide what to take with them thru hiking and also gives people some buying options too.
