This episode was from our LIVE show on our Facebook page. For first time backpackers, it’s always a good to know before you go. We thought it had good value and wanted to convert it into our Trust the Trail weekly podcast. Our Top 10 Suggestions for New Backpackers was a lot of fun.

Here they are:

Plan and Prepare
Fit your Pack to your Torso (in other words, don’t borrow your backpack)
Learn how to Pack your Pack
Test your before you go
Know how to filter your water and what system you are going to use
Practice hanging a Food Bag or Bear Bag
Treat your feet before they become blisters
Reduce your weight with a little meditation BEFORE you pack
Clean your Gear
Trust the Trail
