SLEEPING BAG LINER, Spandauer, MYOG, DIY, 150 gr, Nylon taffeta, downproof, soft, 20den, 38g/sqm, sleeping mat holding system. --- For backpackers, a mummy-shaped bag liner helps keep your sleeping bag free of dirt and body oils. Clean is good, since a clean bag doesn't require laundering and will last much longer. (It's much easier to launder a liner than a sleeping bag.) In hot climates, you can use the bag liner by itself and forgo the sleeping bag.

This is one of my favorite trail treats: instant pudding mixed with Nestle Nido powdered whole milk. Backpacking food can be easy to make from cheap grocery items. The food you bring needs to be light-weight, high in calories per ounce and nutritious and/or delicious.

Keep it simple, nutritious and save weight: I take inexpensive trail foods which are both tasty and nutritious. Specifically, foods that give you calories, protein, good fats, vitamins and other micro nutrients. This keeps you healthy and cruising along the trail with a spring in your step.
