Thread: Advice for first big Hunting trip

You will always take too much stuff, it's hard to convince yourself you don't that certain bit of equipment even if you have taken it on multiple trips and never used it.
Two sets of clothes is all you need - one for during the day and a dry set for in the hut at night. If you want to really splash out, take a third pair of undies and socks! I did 8 days walking Stewart Island with two sets of clothes, other trampers tended to avoid you after day 4, and I burnt most of the day clothes back in Oban when we finished.
I would recommend doing an overnight trip first, it's the best way to find out what you forgot that you do need, and what you took that you didn't need.
