Good preparation and prudent planning will facilitate a much lighter and easier trip but usually the hard part is deciding what we really need, what we can afford to leave behind and how many of each item to pack.

I believe that experience is the greatest teacher, and has helped me understand that a heavy Leatherman (multy tool), for example, isn\u2019t really necessary, but an extra shoelace can be extremely valuable.<\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">I compiled this list based mainly on my experience in the field, and kept it focused on the essential items I take with me. Of course, what works for me won\u2019t necessarily work for you. Another important thing to note is that the equipment list for the Israel National Trail is different to, let\u2019s say, the Yam LeYam Trail (coast to coast). Variables such as the length, intensity or location of the trail are some of the many factors that will determine your list of essential, sensible items.<\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Here ends my introduction. What follows is the full list sorted by when each item is used, with examples.<\/p><h2 style=\"direction: ltr;\">Clothing<\/h2><h3 dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Hiking Clothes:<\/h3><ul><li dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Long-sleeve UV protection shirt (button-up or long-sleeve T-shirt).<\/li><li dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Convertible hiking pants.<\/li><li dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Hat.<\/li><li dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">ExOfficio wicking underwear.<\/li><li dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Wicking socks.<\/li><li dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Sunglasses (optional)<\/li><\/ul><h3 dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Overnight Clothing:<\/h3><ul><li dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Insulating fleece.<\/li><li dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Rain jacket\/windbreaker.<\/li><li dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Thin short- or long-sleeve shirt.<\/li><li dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Cotton shorts or pants.<\/li><li dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Regular socks (for cold nights in early February departures).<\/li><\/ul><h3 dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Miscellaneous:<\/h3><ul><li dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Wool cap.<\/li><li dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Light scarf\/Neck warmer.<\/li><li dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Gloves (for early February departures).<\/li><li dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Speed pants for walking on hot days or wading\/swimming.<\/li><\/ul><h2 dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Footwear:<\/h2><ul><li dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">High or mid hiking boots.<\/li><li dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Crocs for end of day (Chaco sandals are too heavy, Shoresh sandals will do).<\/li><\/ul><h2 dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Bags and Storage:<\/h2><ul><li dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">60-70 liter backpack with good back support.<\/li><li dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Cloth sack for storage of food supplies.<\/li><li dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Medium Ziploc bags for rationing meals.<\/li><li dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Glasses case.<\/li><li dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Strong nylon garbage bag for all overnight supplies (designated solely for this purpose and always kept dry).<\/li><\/ul><h2 dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Shelter:<\/h2><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Tent and insulation tarp (for departures in rainy and\/or cold weather)<br \/> Pegs and cords for pitching and anchoring tent<\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">For solo travelers, carrying a tent adds significant weight so think carefully if the time of year really necessitates a tent. If you\u2019re traveling in pairs or as a group, the weight of the tent can be distributed which means it\u2019s not a bad idea to take one. Always remember, that in the event you do take a tent and then realize you don\u2019t need it anymore or at all, you\u2019ll be able to leave it with a Trail Angel, a friend or family you coordinate to meet somewhere along the route.<\/p><h2 dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Overnight Supplies:<\/h2><ul><li dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">0-10 degree sleeping bag + compression sack.<\/li><li dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Egg crate foam pad \/ Klymit Static V inflatable sleeping pad.<\/li><\/ul><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Cheap foam mattresses don\u2019t make the cut.
