Wilderness travel means you can and, for your comfort, should carry a lot less than you do in the regular world.  Most experienced wilderness travelers will tell you that they bring about the same amount of gear on a three-day trip as they would on a three-week trip.  This packing list has been refined over 50 years of Voyageur Outward Bound School expeditions.  Please stick to it closely.  It is designed to ensure that you have everything you need to be safe and comfortable during your expedition.
