I am resurrecting the checklist I used for my Mt. Pulag climb all those years ago. This list might be useful in the future if I ever get the urge to climb again. I did Mt. Fuji in 2017 and I had a lengthier list then, but the basics are already mostly here.
Not all items are going to be included in your pack, but this helps in ensuring that whatever will be matching to the kind of trek that is to be done is not forgotten.
Those marked with an asterisk (*) are considered must-haves in my case.
Clothing:
* Dri-fit blouse and pants, similar material underwear
Thermal wear
* Extra pairs of socks, dri-fit
Arm and leg warmers
Gloves – depends on terrain and the weather
* Scarf
* Hat/Bonnet
* Waterproof jacket/windbreaker preferably with hood
* Sweater for layering, material preferred is cashmere to keep you warm
Balaclava
* Hiking shoes which can let water pass through – my Merrel Waterpro Maipo may do the trick I think
Raincoat – maybe I can substitute using a garbage bag and cutting it *grin*
Slippers – some treks have bathing areas after the descent
Toiletries:
* Sunblock
* Chapstick – cold weather cracks lips
Bag with overnight supply of basic small-volume toiletries
* Insect repellent
* Medicine tablets such as anti-diarrhea, headache,anti-inflammatory etc., band-aid, anti-inflammatory cream …include vitamins here
* Travel towel – if bigger one, may function also as blanket
* Wet ones/baby wipes
* Antibacterial spray or alcohol
Equipment:
* Camera and memory cards
* Cellphone, Indiglo watch
* Charger for phone/camera/ extra batteries
Tripod – maybe if its a very sturdy one, if all else fails use as walking stick?
Sustenance-related:
* Trail food/mix, nuts, bread, cheese – maybe the cold weather will act as ref
* Water bottle
* Liquids: water and other replenishment liquids
Others:
* Flashlight/Headlight (my keychain usually has a small maglite)
Swiss knife
* Trekking bag with cover to protect it from rain
* Freezer bags
Three-fold umbrella
* Dry bags for camera and other important stuff
Sleeping bag
Tent – rent or share
Earth pad – forego if there is some other coats or clothes and use them
Travel blanket/pillow
Carabiner key hooks – part of bag
Walking stick – or pick up one on the trail?
Extra foldable or dry bag
* Fanny bag for easy reach of important stuff, or maybe a small body bag
