Then you would definitely need your backpack that is filled with the entire essential. I would ask you to first consult hikers and avoid unnecessary gear as it can increase your burden in the trip into the forest.

HERE IS A CAMPING AND HIKING GEAR GUIDE FOR YOU:

FOR THE CAMPERS:

 

1. Tents- Tents should be compact, waterproof and frame-less so as to help you travel light. Tents that come with a mosquito net are optional but prove to be bliss for you.

3. Proper clothing- Use clothes that is light and quick. Keep extra towels, jackets and other clothes.
