What You Should Bring On A Backpacking Trip To Ireland

Manifest What you Want, Whenever you Want....

If you are the sort of person who has ever wanted to backpack for a couple days, a couple weeks, or a couple months through the countryside, one of the best possible locations for this adventure is the beautiful country of Ireland. Before you depart for your backpacking adventure in Ireland, you will want to make sure you pack properly; and once you pay for your airfare for the trip, you will not have many more costs!

A true backpacking trip will require you to have a backpack that is designed for such an adventure - that will be comfortable and sturdy. This means that you will want to spend some money on an internal frame backpack - and once you start browsing through internal frame backpacks, you will find that there are a lot of choices and prices. The Teton Sports 5200 is a pretty good pack to consider, for an incredible price.

Because of all the physical exertion during backpacking, you are sure to get hot during the day. This means that you should pack clothes that will be good for hiking and for sweating - sturdy shorts and short sleeve shirts. But you should also keep in mind the fact that the weather in Ireland is cool and rainy for large parts of the year - especially at night - so you will also need rain gear, pants, and long sleeves!

Because of the rain, you will also want to make sure that the tent you bring is truly waterproof. If you do not have a waterproof tent, some of your nights will truly be miserable; and as your pack will get wet inside your tent as well, your days will become miserable also! You should also make sure the tent you bring with you is lightweight, in addition to being waterproof.

Finally - regardless of how long you are going to Ireland - you will want to pack both your smile and your friendliness with you for the trip! If you bring all these things along, you will be able to have a truly marvelous adventure - exploring the Irish countryside, and getting to know the Irish people!
