What to pack for a 2-day trek when you're carrying everything yourself

Every gram you pack, your knees carry uphill. Our gear editor shares the list that survived six seasons:

1/5

1/ The rule: base weight under 10kg. Weigh everything. Sentimental items are the heaviest.

2/5

2/ Sleep: a liner plus the teahouse/homestay blanket beats hauling a full sleeping bag on most Asian trails.

3/5

3/ Feet: broken-in trail shoes, never new boots. Two pairs of socks — one on, one drying on your pack.

4/5

4/ Safety kit that actually gets used: headlamp, blister tape, whistle, power bank, period supplies even 'off-schedule' — altitude and stress change cycles.

5/5

5/ The comfort item you're allowed: one. Ours is a tiny packet of good coffee. Choose yours and enjoy it guilt-free.

The period-supplies note — no male gear writer has ever included that. Subscribed.

Weighed my pack after reading: 13.4kg of 'just in case.' Re-packing tonight.

Raising my son alone: the systems that saved my sanity

When I became a single mom three years ago, everyone offered sympathy. What I actually needed was structure. Three things that changed our home: 1. A Sunday reset — thirty minutes where we plan the week together, even though he's only seven. 2. A 'village list' on the fridge — three people I can call, and he's learning who they are too. 3. One hour a week that is mine alone, non-negotiable. I'm not a parenting expert. Just a mom who stopped trying to do everything alone.
