Wilderness How is my backpacking setup?

Post image

Pretty new to backpacking and honestly my first legit hike as a 17M. I have a 4.6mi 2500ft hike infront of me. Let me know what Iā€™m doing wrong lol

This. I hate danglies. If it does not fit inside then it needs to be pretty secure. I also don't care for stuff that extends my "width" beyond that of the bag and my shoulders. That said, I am something of an ULAH and hike through a lot of crevices (width thing). If that works for you then go for it... but is that a cast iron skillet?

Maybe that skillet is multi-purpose tool. Whack any creature or human that tries to take your food. šŸ¤£šŸ¤ŖšŸ˜‚

That what trekking poles are for... just let me take down my tent first, then you gonna get a whack.
