  • Choose durable clothing and equipment. You will experience all types of weather, so it is important to pack clothes and gear that will last, but is also easy to maintain/repair if needed.

  • Be prepared for the unexpected. Things can happen, so it is important to be prepared for anything, but remember weight.
