When it comes to travel gear, shoes are easily one of the topmost important things. On any trip, you generally do lots of walking so even your casual shoes need to be comfy. \u00a0If you’re doing anything outdoorsy, shoes then become absolutely important.<\/p>\n

The size of the backpack will depend on the length of your trip.

Even on day trips, it is wise to carry a small\u00a0daypack\u00a0that can hold a water bottle, an extra jacket or cardigan and some snacks. Check out the\u00a0Patagonia\u00a0Arbor\u00a0Pack<\/a>, $186, which is stylish enough for the city, too.<\/p>\n

Packing and Dressing Tips for the Outdoors
\n<\/strong><\/h2>\n

1) Double Swap<\/strong><\/p>\n

To keep your backpack from weighing you down, pack just two complete sets of clothing, no matter how long your trip is. One set of clothes can be left out to dry while you wear the other. This may sound limiting, but you will be very thankful to have a lighter burden while hiking.<\/p>\n

\u00a02) Zip-it Dry<\/strong><\/p>\n

Keep your items separated in waterproof ziplock bags to ensure they stay dry even when it rains or if something leaks.<\/p>\n

\u00a03) Top, Middle, Base<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lesser-used items such as the first-aid kit should be stashed at the base of the backpack.<\/p>\n

Heavy items such as water filters should be packed in the centre of the bag and as close to the spine as possible to ensure you have good balance when you walk. Fill out the rest of the space with clothing and other lightweight items.<\/p>\n

Essentials such as sunscreen, sunglasses, insect repellent and your compass should be placed in the front or top pocket of the backpack for easy access.<\/p>\n

\u00a04) Shine Bright<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wear a brightly-coloured jacket in red, purple or orange to ensure maximum visibility in the great outdoors in case of emergencies.<\/p>\n

It can be challenging to look fashionable and coordinated in outdoorsy gear, but if you keep the rest of your clothing, such as your pants and shoes, in an earth or dark tone, you will find it much easier to look coordinated.<\/p>\n

\u00a05) Anti Abrasion<\/strong><\/p>\n

Prevent foot abrasions and painful blisters by wearing thick wool socks with your hiking boots.<\/p>\n
