When packing for a Multi Day Hike NSW, Australia

Join Kris, Store Manager at PAST Outdoors, as she unpacks exactly what she carries on a multi day hike in NSW. In this video, Kris prepares for a two-night winter trek where temperatures can drop to -2°C. She shares her complete gear list, from the practical essentials that keep her safe and comfortable, to the little extras that make the journey more enjoyable.

Sleep and Shelter Essentials- what do you really need?

For cold-weather camping, having the right sleep system is critical. Kris explains how she layers her sleeping bag, mat, and shelter to stay warm through frosty nights. She also covers lightweight tent options and why a good-quality setup can make all the difference when you’re miles from the trailhead.

Cooking and Hydration Systems and must-have's

Food and water are the backbone of any successful hike. Kris walks through her cooking setup, including a compact stove, lightweight cookware, and how she manages fuel for multiple days. For hydration, she shares her water storage strategy and purification methods—must-haves for reliable drinking water in the bush.

First Aid and Comfort Items, safety first!

Safety is always a priority. Kris highlights the first aid essentials she carries, from bandages to blister care, and why they’re non-negotiable. She also shares her “luxury” items—small comforts that add a big boost of morale after long days on the trail.

Whether you’re new to hiking or refining your packing system, this video offers a practical look at how an experienced hiker prepares. Kris not only shows what goes into her pack, but also explains the reasoning behind each item, making it easy for you to adapt her approach to your own adventures.
