Backpacking Checklist for new backpackers – All backpackers in the world come across a time when a few of their friends start developing interest in backpacking. They may ask hundreds of questions. Have a hundred other doubts and what not! Yes, this can be overwhelming. But if you want to help them, we have something for you. An extensive listing of all the essential gear that you’ll need for backpacking , from books to maps and clothing to sleeping bags.<\/p>\n
The key thing is that you can’t just buy stuff while travelling – so it’s not like you’re going to find a shop where you can get everything at one go, but instead what you should do is make sure you have enough money with you while planning your trip. To give you an example – I was in Greece last year in October and we were there for about 10 days and didn’t see any shops open on Sundays or public holidays while we were there. So if you need something right away, then this might not be possible while you are on holiday.<\/p>\n
You also need to consider whether you will meet people where you plan to visit who would sell you things they don’t usually sell. In Italy most places are pretty self-sufficient, except for large towns where there may well be a supermarket.<\/p>\n
