I’ve done a lot of research into what to pack and there is a wealth of information out there. I’ve largely used from Worldy Adventurer and Be My Travel Muse as my prime sources, amongst others. Although as a man this does differ. Do check their sites out and use their links to the products as they have a wealth of experience and much more information about travelling in South America and further a field. I am planning on camping in Patagonia so many of the items I’m taking are included for this reason. Also I wanted a conclusive list that I could update when I lose/throw away/buy more items.
