Packing List

Backpacking Supplies

Coming up with a packing list for this 3-4 month trip was rather difficult. I thought about all of the items of clothing and personal items that I used in my daily life and determined whether or not I would need or want them on my trip.

Clothing. I grouped my clothing into two categories: casual and outdoor/activity. I plan to do a bit of hiking/mountaineering when I can, so It was important that I bring the proper apparel. I also believe it is important to dress well, not only for my own personal comfort but to reinforce the idea that Canadians look good.
