This is a packing list I’ve been using and tweaking for about twenty years. I love it because when I use it I don’t forget anything and it takes away the need to rack my brain trying to figure out if I’m missing anything. If I follow the list I can leave confident that I have everything I need.

That’s quite a list!! Do you have a few versions of it that you use regularly? If you’re only going on an overnighter or a weekend trip you can probably leave your flotation device at home! š
This is my only version. The first thing I do is cross off everything that is irrelevant for the particular trip I’m going on. Then I work through the rest of the list. Every trip is different, so I don’t know how I would make different lists. I just keep one with everything I’d ever need. š
