Before you zip the bag

Your trip is more than a checklist.

Use the list as a starting point. Check actual weather, destination rules, and the equipment your activity needs before you leave. Seasonal presets contain illustrative weather, not local forecasts.

For outdoor trips, review the National Park Service Ten Essentials and adapt the list to your route and experience.
