What's on my packing list?

Ah packing!! One of my, dare I say, favorite things about leaving for a trip. There’s something so soothing about selecting and organizing the things that will be a part of your life while traveling. For me, that started with picking a bag for all my gear!

For my checked bag I bought a 65cl REI Travel Rucksack . It’s a great size if you can manage to fit all of your carry on items into it as well. I had to pack my sleeping bag in it so that took up a very large chunk of space. I like the concept of traveling with a pack instead of a bag because you can put your whole life on your back and have your hands free. I’m really excited to see how it works out for me!

Secondly, I needed a tent and a sleeping pad for camping. The tent we already had, I’m using a Marmot Limelight 2P tent and my model is kind of old because we have a bunch of camping gear from my dad and brother’s boy scout days. The sleeping pad is a REI Camp bed 2.5 self-inflatable pad.
