Some thoughts about how and why I prepared that way for hiking the kungsleden.

Preface
#

It’s important to know the following circumstances that somewhat informed my gear choices:

Goals:
#

  1. Get back home safely.
  2. Hike the northern Kungsleden.
  3. Hike the Kungsleden as far as possible.
  4. Have a good time along the way.
  5. Get back home on time.
  6. Stay budget friendly.
  7. Loose a few kgs of weight along the way.

Experience and other personal factors l:
#

  • I have hiked medium to long distances before.
  • That however is almost 10 years ago.
  • I’m not exactly in great physical shape ATM.
  • Its my first time hiking a “remote” trail. I am not used to resupply needing actual forethought.
