Frequently Asked Questions

  • What type of clothing should I take backpacking?

    Depending on the season and climate, lightweight clothing made of synthetic and/or natural fibers is best. Sturdy, quick-drying footwear is also essential, as well as a hat and sunglasses.

  • What type of sleeping bag should I take backpacking?

    The type of sleeping bag you should take depends on the season and climate you will be backpacking in. A two- or three-season sleeping bag is typically best for milder climates and should provide enough warmth for most conditions.

  • What should I do if my backpacking gear gets wet?

    If your gear gets wet, hang it in a dry, well-ventilated area as soon as possible. Allow the item to air dry completely before packing it away. You may also want to use a dehumidifier to help speed up the drying process.
