Backpacking / Camping / Rafting Checklist

Updated for mobile phones and created functioning check boxes.

Spring is here and I don't know about you but I am definitely chomping at the bit to hit the dirt. There are plenty of checklists out there but here is one I have been using and continually modifying for a long time and seems more extensive like line item stuff to easily replenish your first aid and safety kit. Personal items definitely depend on your interests but this provides a good foundation. Obviously I do not pack all of the items it is totally dependent on the weather and length.

Included is a section for your four legged friend, they love getting out too! I use the primary list as the basis for every style trip but I included additional sections for car camping and river trips. Hope this comes in handy, please let me know if there is something I really need to have on here or if I left something major out.
