Welcome Home...THANK YOU FOR BEING A PART OF OUR COMMUNITY

My dad, brother, oldest son and 3 nephews are getting ready to go on a 3 day backpack trip in about 5 weeks. As we are preparing, I am trying to decide what we will need. Below are the items I have decided on so far.

1. 3000 cubic inch backpack

2. Sleeping bag that compresses to a small size and weighs less than 4 lbs.

3. Knife, of course. The one I am taking has a fire starter, sharpener, hammer and emergency whistle.

4. First aid kit

5. Mini water filtration kit

6.Paracord

7. Dehydrated food

8. Small fishing kit.

Keep in mind, we are planning everything we use during the whole trip.

Let's hear your suggestions for other necessities.

I plan to take a small camera and will share the experience with you all.

Nothing like a shake-down hike to adjust gear and priorities.  A shame it got cut short, but Autumn sounds like a great time to try again.  Thanks for the pics.  Glad you got back safely, if wet.

Unfortunately, I didn't get much of a chance to use it Ron. I hope to do at least one more camp out this fall. I will test it there and let you know.

Great pictures Jeremy and thanks for taking them. Looks like a good time and everyone came back safe!
