Hello all! My boyfriend and I are getting into backpacking and are planning a trip for Canada Day long weekend! We are just wondering what are some basics for backpacking we haven’t considered aside from the basics (I.e bear spray, tent, sleeping bags, hatchet, sleeping mats, shovel, etc.) for gear? For context on weather I live in Canada and we are planning on backpacking mostly mountain areas nearby during spring/summer! TIA
