For every avid photographer, this activity actually does not have any set in stone rules as it’s more to each individual’s preference..although in the end, we still try to get the right mix of weight and what gears are really important. Have a look below on some ideas that I’d like to share which might prove to have some practicality for you as well.

Even though your digital cameras are already fitted with their own batteries the moment you purchased them, it’s always best to also have a few extra batteries in your SLR camera backpack. Why is this? Well, depending on how long and the number of images you’ll be snapping in let’s say a day, it’s quite generally known that your batteries won’t run out of power that soon. For me, the reason to have extra batteries are for those moments we are inclined to forget recharging them before using them for the next photo shoot.

Preparation is the cornerstone of every successful trip and starting with a good quality list is at the heart of this. We have all written lists in our time, whether it be chores or jobs lists, things to do lists, or indeed my favourite, goal setting lists.

These generally involve writing specific requirements down on a listed format, and checking them off when you have hopefully completed the task. Compiling a backpacking list takes a little bit more time and effort, however, in the long run, it’s worth it.

The secret to a great list, is to be thorough! You don’t really want to be forgetting something when you are out in the back country, so check and recheck your list, until you are confident that you can cover every eventuality that may arise, with the items that you have.

A second tip is to make sure that you have clear defined categories or headings.

This way you will be able to list every item confidently under that category. This will in turn make for easy packing, as everything will be together.

As time goes by, what you pack, and where in your pack you might pack it, is an ever-changing dynamic that is reflected in your own hiking idiosyncrasies. No Two people hike the same, and no backpack is packed the same. This is why a backpacking list will, and should change as you do.

In order to get the most out of your backpack water filter, always
follow the instructions that come with it, and also keep in mind the
following tips.
Try testing your filter before you leave home to be sure that it’s in
good working order, especially if you haven’t used it in a long time.
Cleaning it before you go as well.  Backpack filters, especially those
without pre-filters, can get clogged up with dirt and other particles.
If you’re going for a hike or on a camping trip that will last
several days, you might want to bring a couple extra filters just in
case.
Keep the water filter in a spot in your backpack where it’s easy to
find and pull out–not buried underneath other items–but also make
sure that it won’t fall out of your backpack too easily.
Using your backpack filter isn’t difficult.

 Once you’re standing by
a river, lake or stream and you’re ready to take a drink, simply stick
the outtake hose onto what’s called the outtake nipple, and then stick
the intake hose onto the intake nipple.  The intake hose should be
submerged in the water while you stick the outtake hose into the water
bottle itself.  Meanwhile, the pre-filter should rest on a stone or
somehow be suspended in the water; it should not touch the bottom of
the body of water.  Now you simply push the little lever up and down
and the water will move through the apparatus and the result with be
fresh, drinkable water for you to enjoy.  Bon appetit!
