Testimonials
Denali 5500 - "Held all my gear for snow-cave camping with room to spare! Incredibly comfortable and well balanced, hardly even knew it was on my back. Great hiking backpacks at an AMAZING value! Thank you!!" Joseph E.
"After a long hiatus from backpacking, I was thrilled when my sons expressed an interest and were old enough to go with me. One thing that was clear, though, was that some of my ancient hiking backpacks would need to be retired."

... and you'll never have to say "Oh, crap!
I forgot to bring ____ ".
Without a backpacking checklist, I inevitably forget something. Nothing can ruin a trip quicker than leaving behind a piece of important gear or some food. Get into the habit of using a backpacking checklist while you load your backpack at home.
The following is a checklist that has worked well for me for most three season
backpacking trips. Add or delete items based on personal preference, time of
year, and length, purpose, destination of trip.
To help you come up with your own backpacking
checklist, consider consulting "The Complete Walker"
, a book which goes into amazing
detail about every possible thing you might need.
