[QUOTE="Peterexpatkiwi, post: 1181835, member: 107500"] [USER=41003]@J Willhaus[/USER] Hi Janet. I'm currently sitting on a log in the sun in the middle of a short 10K training hike. It's rather hard to envisage winter. Personally I think you've done an excellent job, hardly surprising considering your experience. I agree with several of the items raised above as potentially useful. In particular: The bag liner or similar is almost essential if you're relying on a pack cover. A part role of toilet paper would of course do. If the footwear isn't waterproof perhaps they could consider lightweight waterproof gaitors. Bearing in mind where you live I presume if they don't have them they'll have friends/ family who do. Agree 100%. My backpack packed with everything you've listed above and several more items (at least half a kilos worth) was 7.1 kilos. And no, none of my gear is super light. Even allowing for extra toiletries or comfort items 8 should easily be doable as a maximum limit. With the emphasis on less is better. And whilst I completely understand those who emphasizing Merino I also understand where you're coming from. I personally have only got polyprop long johns because why on earth should I buy another (merino) pair when I'm unlikely to use them more than a handful of times a year? And as you rightly point out cost as a major factor for students, let alone allergies. Many of the other items I carry are simply not necessary as you will be carrying them: stretchy bandage, tweezers and others such like items! Washing line etc also not required. Although may I suggest for those that do not have an emergency whistle as part of their Pack harness that they purchase a simple whistle for emergency use. ? Yes you can always phone for help however who do you phone first ? A whistle will get attention pretty quickly. Useful also to signaling to your group + or at least, those within hearing) that you want them to stop,! Finally a few points that you've probably already thought of but nobody's mentioned. Not packing list related. 1/ ensure when you first meet that everybody loads the alert cops app to their phone. 2/ ditto with the emergency number 112. Simply loaded as 'ambulance/ police '. That way in a true emergency nobody has to remember. 3/ remind everybody of the regulations concerning carry on liquids and sharp objects. 4/ if you're encouraging them to carry on their bags then strongly suggest that they check the regulations applicable to their airline EG maximum size and weight.
