Glossary of terms – Gear & Equipment Packing List

Shortly after you book onto your hiking holiday or adventure, you should receive a Packing List, which outlines all the gear & equipment that you need in order to be comfortable and well prepared on your adventure.

Some items will be marked with “E” for Essential, and others with “O” for Optional.

Essential items are generally comfort, safety or weather related and particular care should be taken when selecting these items to take.

Here you will find a GLOSSARY of TERMS for the packing list so that next time you go to pack, you will have some understanding of the basic items needed.
