I am looking at creating my backpacking kit. I just wanted to know what people consider their top items in their backpacking kit that might not be considered “essential” (tent, clothes, cookware, etc) or what they’d recommend looking into to improve the (already great) backpacking/camping experience.
Note : alcohol is supposed to be ‘non-essential’ !
When I feel like bringing a luxury item, it’s my Helinox Chair Zero. Every pound counts, but at my age being able to sit for a few hours without my back hurting too much helps a lot.
