A list for a multi-day (~5-10 nights) unsupported solo adventure in Lapland (Finland, Sweden, Norway). Updated in Aug 2023.

Should be suitable for June-July-August, early September. Exact timing, route and weather conditions may affect some items on the list - such as warm clothing, sun & bug protection, navigation equipment, water purification system, etc..

Red = should look for other options Yellow = to be purchased / waiting for delivery / not weighed - weights estimated or from manufacturer Green = item dependent on location and conditions (expected weather, bugs, water sources etc.)

Might toss in some fly fishing gear as well - here's an optional list for the kind of trips where fly fishing is the main purpose: https://lighterpack.com/r/4701eo
