camping backpack how to pack image
Lani Lani
I am going camping next year as part of the Duke of Ed award, and I've never been camping and I am completely dreading carrying such a heavy thing on my back :L I was just wondering how heavy is the average camping backpack? I am only staying for 1-2 nights, but one of my friends told me that it was 30 kilos! And well, I'm worried haha.
Anyway, thanks in advance.
Apparently I have to carry a tent in the backpack too.
Answer
You wont need much. A set of clothes to sleep in(including a knit hat and a warm pair of socks) and a sweatshirt or fleece to keep you warm and if they are calling for rain bring a rain jacket. You dont need 2 pairs of pants and 3 shirts, you`re camping not going to a hotel. The heaviest thing in your pack is going to be water and then food.

I am going on a weekend camp trip (2 nights and I will be staying at a campsite). I do not need to bring food but I will need to have a tent and sleeping bag with me. What is the most efficient way to pack a camping backpack? (include clothing, flashlights, tent, toiletries, first aid, etc)

What fun! Are you hiking a great distance each day? This makes a difference in how you pack. If you are bringing your personal items from your car to the camp site, keep it simple. Most small sized tents come with their own carry case and have a strap. That can go over one shoulder. Your sleeping bag can be carried under your other arm. Your backpack will be on your back. When you pack your bkpk, put the heavier items on the bottom. You want the weight of the bkpk to be lower to your hips than up on your shoulders. Especially if you are hiking for long distances. You might have a flashlight and some TP near the top of the pack in case you need them before you get your gear set up. You may want a self-inflating pad that you put on the floor of your tent and put your sleeping bag on top. Makes getting a good nights sleep better. Oh, pack an extra flashlight. Hope it helps. Have lots of fun and enjoy.
