Packing lists for Vita and Gröna Bandet
A good packing list starts with your trip. Season, weather, stages and opportunities to resupply affect what you need to carry. These guides help you put together a pack that works for you.
Start with what you already own
List your gear and weigh what you plan to carry. Consider shelter, your sleeping system, clothing, cooking gear and other equipment as a whole. Try the pack on a shorter trip before making your decisions.
Keep gear weight separate from food, water and fuel so you can see what changes between stages. Always adapt the list to conditions: a summer Gröna Bandet list is not a ready-made winter list for Vita Bandet.
