Packing list for hiking trip


We have since done several long-distance walks, from three days to one and a half months. Our longest hike was 1,000 kilometers on the Appalachian Trail in the US. In our packing list for a hiking trip in the summer you will find everything we take with us. You want a backpack that is as light as possible without forgetting anything important. Zoë's backpack weighed less than 10 kilograms on the Appalachian Trail, excluding the food. Olivier's weighed nearly 13 kilograms, which is still light enough for a long trek.

We always provide plenty of room for food in our backpack. We try to eat healthy on the trail and bring fresh vegetables. That weighs a lot extra, but we like to take care of our bodies. It is one of our 10 tips for a long hike.

      We didn’t use our phone much on the trail in the US because we didn’t have a US sim card. On other parts of our journey we always had good service 🙂
