One Wood Badge candidate's opinions on what equipment to take camping (or not)

LOWER LEFT POCKET

On my pack, the lower left pocket is one of the smaller ones, so there is only room for a few items:

Sea to Summit Tek Towel


Sea to Summit Tek Towel

  While it would be great if you could justify taking a beach towel on a hiking trip, they are just too heavy and bulky. Instead, you want something that is thin and light, as absorbant as possible, and just big enough to get you dried off. There are several products on the market that have these qualities and can be found at nicer camping stores and online. Mine is a Sea to Summit Tek Towel, which has been a good product.
