Upcoming trip to northern Norway
I'm going on a camping trip to northern Norway (Tromso/Senja/Lyngen region) in two weeks, and am looking for gear advice. I'm going to spend 8 nights outdoors, mostly setting camp near villages. Since I'm only interested in a few mountain hiking routes across the region, I plan to mostly take buses between locations and do radial 1-day routes. I've never been to camping trips for longer than 3-4 days before, so I need some gear advice. I'll be carrying a 75L backpack. My current packing list is as follows:
Shelter&repair
- Sleeping bag, \~0 Celsius (pending)
- Self-inflating mat
- Tape/stickers for the mat (pending)
- Multi-tool
- Tent
Rain protection
- Raincoat
- Backpack protection, disposable full-body raincoat (pending)
Hygiene&care
- Soap/shampoo
- Sunscreen
- Hydrating cream
First aid
- Plasters, bandages
- Hydrogen peroxide
- Sterile wipes
- Antihestamine (I have a nut allergy)
Electronics&navigation
- Phone
- Chargers
- Power bank 20.000mAh
- Headlamp (batteries pending)
Clothing
- Hiking shoes
- 2x pants, 2x sweaters, light coat
- 3-4x t-shirts, 4x underwear, 3x long socks, 3x thermal socks
- Thermal underpants
- Gloves, warm hat
- Bandana
Food&water
- Water bottle 1.5L (pending)
- Water filter (pending)
- Bowl&cutlery
- Nutrition (pending)
Is there anything that I missed? Items marked with (pending) are the ones that I yet need to buy:
* Sleeping bag. My current sleeping bag was already a bit uncomfortable at 10C, and the forecast gives a 3-15C temperature range, so I'm guessing I need one for at least 0C. My current sleeping bag is very cheap and I'm mostly satisfied with it, so a simple Amazon sleeping bag will do for my purposes.
* Tape/stickers: do I need special stickers to repair my mat if it breaks, or is general-purpose tape enough?
* Backpack rain protection, water filter: any low-budget recommendations?
* Nutrition: realistically, I won't be away from a supermarket for more than 3 days, so I probably won't need to cook. Anyway, I need recommendations on how to minimize food weight under these constraints.
I'm living in Germany, so I'm primarily interested in gear that I can buy here.
