The Quick Reference Guide to Packing for Higher-Risk Destinations is designed to be a no-nonsense guide that covers the essentials. It assumes you’ve been around the traps a bit and know what you’re doing. It’s designed to help prevent you from making unforced errors.

This guide is laid out as follows:

  • Packing by category, which groups items into different categories and kits. Use this as a master checklist.
  • Packing by place, which places individual items into pockets and bags. Use this checklist when packing your gear.
  • Before and after travel, which provides a useful preparation checklist.
  • Gear suggestions, which provides some recommendations for gear that we’ve used and believe is appropriate and reliable.
