How to pack a backpack for an outdoor trip?

During each trip to the bosom of nature, our backpack must be equipped with many additional accessories that are not required when going on a trip with an overnight stay at a hotel. You will probably have to take a sleeping bag, a foam camping mat, a first aid kit or even the entire tent, and of course also pack your personal belongings, i.e. clothes and cosmetics. Packing a backpack for a trip to the mountains or for a survival outing is even more difficult, but don`t worry - we`ll help you!

Proper weight distribution
Let's start with the proper layout of the placement of individual items, and thus also the even distribution of weight. The backpack cannot be loaded more on one side, as this will cause great discomfort when carrying it on the back. Various hard objects can also be a nuisance, if located directly at the back of the backpack. The order in which you pack your gear is very important.

It is best to place light items which you do not need quick access to at the very bottom of the backpack. These will probably be all textile items, such as clothes, a blanket, a fleece or the already mentioned sleeping bag. Next, pack all heavy items - such as shoes, tactical equipment or canned food. The center of gravity of the entire luggage should be in the middle of the backpack, as this makes it comfortable to carry - also because we can also use the additional support, which is the hip belt. It`s best to place those things that you want to have quick access to or are often removed at the very top of the backpack - like your supply of water to be used on a regular basis, a raincoat or hygiene products.
