Backpacking is a year round pastime, but what do you pack during the winter if you’ve always backpacked in the summer? Thanks to our friends at Wilderness Emergency Resources, we have two printable guides to help you plan for your next backpacking adventure.

If you’re like us, you’ve promised yourself that you’d make a list that you could take out each time you go on a trip, so that you don’t run the risk of forgetting something that you should have packed. Well, we have the lists pre-made for you.

Choose the one for the time of year you’re taking your trip, print it out and check it as you pack. It should help you to remember most of the things you need. Remember, no list is perfect, so make sure that you add anything special that you need, especially any medicine that you take on a regular basis.

Have a great time on your trip from the staff at ClassBrain and WER!
