Hey /trv/ I'm thinking of taking my first long term nomad trip, my buddy and I are planning to hitchike around Canada and work some farm jobs, pick berries and mushrooms kind of shit and live on the beaches/camps the farms sometimes provide.
I'm very excited but packing has been on my mind a lot, obviously packing light is the best way to go but I'm scared I'll forget something crucial.
What are some of your long terms backpacking essentials?
I'll start;
Flint
Handcrank flashlight and radio
Small netbook in case of emergencies
Extra charger for phone because shit breaks
Toiletries
TOILET PAPER**
multi tool
Mason jar (can be a cup or a food container if need be)
Self defense tool (I have mace and my buddy has a switch blade so we should be aight )
Rolling papers
Extra underwear and socks
Extra pair of shoes (I wear army issued garrisons for walking and shit, flip flops and a pair of converse in bag)
I was thinking of getting a small camping cookware set but they seem too bulky to carry around long term and I don't mind eating cold food.
So what does /trv/ take with them when they hit the road? Also, does anyone know how to prevent chafe from walking long distances?
