Equipment
Proper backpacking makes many things easier: pack heavy things first. The water bottle should always be within easy reach in a side pocket. All things that are often needed, such as sunglasses, camera or hiking map, belong on top. An emergency kit belongs in every backpack! A clothing according to the "onion system" is always recommended! A good hiking boot is a good companion and should never be missing on the mountain!Reviews
