  15. How to Pack SUGGESTIONS • Remove all unnecessary packaging from any items, especially food. Packaging creates litter that may be hard to manage. Repack items in zip lock bags with any instructions inside bag. • Follow the layering system of dressing making sure to follow the gear list Campers should pack their own gear under supervision and practicing is a great idea. The more you pack and repack at home the better you will be in the field. • Sturdy zip-lock bags are good for storing food. Use one as a trash bag also. • Blue jeans are uncomfortable and dangerous when wet. DO NOT BRING THEM. • If reasonable, hike in shorts and change into pile/wool/rain pants for cool evening. • The final loaded backpack should weigh between 30 and 40 pounds. Forty pounds is quite heavy...aim for thirty. • Waterproof everything and pack items separately in bag • Get accustomed to the idea of wearing the same article of clothing more than once. • Carabiners are great for attaching things like your water bottle to exterior of backpack • Lastly, try to keep matters as simple as possible so everything is easy to find and re-pack. • COMPACTABILITY(BULK) AND WEIGHT ARE KEY WHEN SELECTING YOUR CLOTHING
