What gear do I need for a 7-day hike in Norway in mid-August?
Hi everyone, I’m planning a 7-day hike in Norway in mid-August with two friends. We’ll be camping the whole time and carrying all our gear. I’m looking for a complete gear list of what I need for this trip (personal + group gear). Please assume I’m building my setup and tell me everything required for a safe and comfortable trip in Norwegian mountain conditions in August. I’m aiming for lightweight but reliable gear. No need for budget options.
I understand that this post is a bit to broad and I’m sorry for that so here’s a list of what I have at the moment: A merino wool long sleeve shirt and leggings, Gaiters that go just below my knees, A few bags of adventure food, A 70l backpack thats kind of broken, so I want to buy a new one. Preferably a smaller one thats more lightweight and more comfortable, I have mountain/hike shoes/boots, but these are for really low temperatures. So I should probably buy new ones, A military sleeping bag that goes down to -30 degrees, so again a bit to warm maybe, A fleece jacket that has an outer shell and an inner which is more warm, I can unzip the two jackets if it gets too warm. I have a merino wool sweater and a warm sweater with a zipper, A pair of pants for again low temperatures, A knife that also a fork/spoon, A few pairs Alpaca wool socks.
That’s about all I think, sorry again for not putting it in earlier. I have gone hiking two times in Norway, but as you may be able to tell those two times were in the winter so I needed warm equipment. These two times were with a Airbnb so I didn’t need extra equipment for sleeping etc.
This time we will go to a place called Bismo and hike for about 8 days with no Airbnb, so there are a lot of things new for me😉 #nature #activity source
