What to Pack?

You'll be hauling way more stuff than before, so get a proper tough rucksack that's also good to carry. We stock Berghaus, Savotta and Särmä TST lineups, these are all made for serious use. The budget choice is a used milsurp ruck, but test it well beforehand - although we will refund/replace faulty kit, the most unpleasant time for reclamation is in the wilderness.

For a long hike you should get quality gear. The worst case scenario is something breaking up in the middle. Moreover food, water and general preparation become a bigger issue. If you're leaving for a longer trip, you probably have spent a couple of nights outdoors before.
