General Gear Pack for the Outdoors

A proper gear list for a difficult day trip or an extended expedition can be an important part of its success, fun, and/or comfort level. On a day-to-day basis, however, It’s far more likely that you’ll participate in a more casual outdoor activity with little or no planning that could also benefit from short and basic collection of gear. A general gear pack that’s ready and handy for spontaneous adventures would be a good idea for any outdoor enthusiast.

Staff writer Dierdre Fleming put together a well thought-out list for a general gear pack in a recent article in the Portland Press Herald that would very useful to keep handy in the car, boat, or by the door on a daily basis.
