This was my larp kit for a 2 night backpacking trip this last weekend. This was my first attempt at a multi night trip without a real backpack or synthetic sleeping bag. It’s fun to ask oneself “what’s the bare minimum I need to backpack?”, and I found the answer to be “more than I brought”
Still, I had a good time, and I learned a lot. The extra clothes I brought weren’t very helpful, and my blanket was very insufficient. I think this could be done with a thicker wool blanket rolled into a log, wrapped and a canvas tarp for the horseshoe carry. I also immediately understand the utility of a small purse or pilgrims bag.
The shoes were the real MVP of the trip - I was nervous about how my feet would hold up without any padding in my soles, and about slipping without any traction, but neither were a big deal, I just ended up walking a little different and it was fine.
Overall: I made it, but I froze my ass off and it was very uncomfortable 4/10 - will update kit and try again soon.
