2. Sleeping bag: A warm and comfortable sleeping bag is essential for a good night's sleep. Look for a bag that is rated for the lowest temperature you are likely to encounter on your trip.

5. Rain gear: Spring weather can be unpredictable, so be prepared for rain. Pack a waterproof jacket and pants, as well as a rain cover for your backpack.

6. Hiking boots: Good hiking boots will provide support and traction on rough terrain. Make sure they are broken in before your trip.

7. First-aid kit: Accidents can happen, so it's important to have a first-aid kit on hand. Include items such as bandages, antiseptic, and pain relievers.

8. Headlamp or flashlight: A reliable light source is essential for navigating around camp at night.
