Organizing your backpack well can help you hike comfortably for longer periods. Start by packing compressible items like your sleeping bag or nightwear at the bottom of your backpack, which acts as shock absorption and lumbar support. Then, place bulkier food and cooking items towards the midsection, padding them with tent fabrics or spare clothes to prevent them from digging into your back. Lastly, keep the top layer of your backpack for items that you'll need most frequently while on the hike, like your insulated windbreaker, waterproof layers, toilet supplies and first aid kit.
"You want something with a hip belt that will transfer a lot of the weight off your shoulders. Something like an Osprey Talon/Tempest is lightweight and should carry the weight well." - Liz M
Cuts, scrapes, blisters and unexpected serious injuries could always happen while you're out there, so make sure you're fully prepared for every scenario. Prep an emergency kit loaded with essentials including a lightweight 1L water bottle, water purification tablets, ready meal kits, box matches, a waterproof flashlight with backup batteries, flares, a multi-tool, and first aid supplies like antiseptic wipes, medical tape, and allergy medication like antihistamines. Depending on how remote your hike will be, you might even want to bring signal equipment like a satellite radio, signaling mirrors, flares, or survival whistles.

Coinnigh an carr níos glaine ar feadh níos faide le sneaiceanna ainmnithe agus urranna bruscair. Pacáistí gearrthóga nó pionnaí éadaigh chun málaí sneaiceanna neamhchríochnaithe a shéalú. Le haghaidh earraí indiúscartha, líneáil gránach spártha nó bosca fianán le mála bruscair agus cuir idir suíocháin an ghluaisteáin é chun naipcíní nó cumhdaigh mhilseáin a chucking.
"Take a few clothes pegs—they're often just what you need to hang up wet things or clip things together. You won't even need to bring them back home, so bin them on the return trip." - Pfeiffer
A great cooler box is one luxury you'll thank yourself for. Other Tripadvisor members have even found creative ways to keep their drinks cool, from using bottles of frozen water to lining the interior of the box with frozen vegetables.
"It's nice to have a cold drink during the day. We always freeze a couple of bottles of water to serve as our ice packs for the first day. We also take ice packs and freeze them if our hotel rooms have the facilities. If not, you can buy packs of store-brand frozen vegetables (think peas) which keep things surprisingly cold." -TxOffWeGo
Unless you're willing to splurge on extra baggage allowance, it's generally a good idea to only pack ski gear you won't be able to rent at the ski resort. Leave bulkier items like skis and boards at home.
"There are plenty of shops which rent out ski gear and it really depends on your level of expertise. For beginners, rent the cheapest possible, whilst for the more experienced, look around for the skis/boards that match your skill level." - Aceozski
Sleamhnaigh málaí tae isteach i do bhróga sciála musty chun an stench a ionsú agus chun boladh do sheomra óstáin a choinneáil-saor. Is féidir málaí te te a chur ar blisters nua-chruthaithe freisin chun iad a choinneáil ó bheith ag boilgeoga.
Seachas na liopaí damáiste a chosaint agus a leigheas, is féidir leat balm liopaí a chur ar d'aghaidh freisin chun sruthán gaoithe a chosc, nó cuimil ar an taobh istigh de do shróin chun iad a choinneáil ó bheith tirim agus irritated. Is féidir balm liopaí a úsáid freisin chun na fiacla zipper a lubricadh ar do chóta má théann siad i bhfostú.
Fiú amháin ar na laethanta is teo sa bhfásach, is féidir leis an teocht titim go mór nuair a luíonn an ghrian. Má tá safari fásaigh san áireamh ar do thuras, ní mór bairr agus brístí muinchille fada chun tú a chosaint ón ngrian agus tú a choinneáil te san oíche. Is mír ilfheidhmeach iontach é seálta freisin ar féidir leis an deannach a choinneáil amach ó d'aghaidh.
"For camel rides, wear soft trousers that won't rub, depending on how long your trek is. I did an hour in a maxi dress and was fine but trousers are certainly more practical." - LaLico
Fág na gléasanna traenach sa bhaile agus pacáilte cluichí cártaí simplí mar Uno nó criáin agus bileoga dathúcháin chun na páistí a choinneáil gnóthach ar eitiltí fada nó ar thurais bóthair.

"All drinks are always put in sippy cups (even for my older kids). I bring large plastic cups to pour snacks into—this way they can sit in the cup holders, less chance of spilling while eating. Lastly, get crunchy snacks not sticky—much easier to clean up afterward." - Julie F
If there's one thing you need when you're traveling alone, it's an item that brings you comfort. Solo trips can get lonely, so bring along a little treat from home—whether it's your go-to snack, your favorite worn-out sweater, or episodes of your favorite show to rewatch on your phone when you feel homesick.
Traveling again can seem daunting at first, especially as domestic and international border restrictions change with the evolving Covid-19 pandemic. If you're taking the leap (and all the precautions too,) here are some additional things you should pack to make your journey as smooth as possible.
Entry requirements vary from place to place, so check the official government sites for the latest restrictions and requirements for the country you're visiting. Is quarantine or a pre-departure test mandatory, or do you have to show any type of documentation on your way back?
