Backpacking isn’t just about exploring nature. The process teaches planning and preparation. Before going, you have to imagine each day, taking into account of the weather and activity, so that you can pack accordingly. This is why it’s important to lay out what you’re going to bring, leave it there on the ground, and look at it for several days. You will see what you need, what may be an excess, and make adjustments before you pack. It requires planning and a lot of preparation.
