Hey /trv/ I'm thinking of taking my first long term nomad trip, my buddy and I are planning to hitchike around Canada and work some farm jobs, pick berries and mushrooms kind of shit and live on the beaches/camps the farms sometimes provide.
I'm very excited but packing has been on my mind a lot, obviously packing light is the best way to go but I'm scared I'll forget something crucial.
What are some of your long terms backpacking essentials?
I'll start;
Flint
Handcrank flashlight and radio
Small netbook in case of emergencies
Extra charger for phone because shit breaks
Toiletries
TOILET PAPER**
multi tool
Mason jar (can be a cup or a food container if need be)
Self defense tool (I have mace and my buddy has a switch blade so we should be aight )
Rolling papers
Extra underwear and socks
Extra pair of shoes (I wear army issued garrisons for walking and shit, flip flops and a pair of converse in bag)
I was thinking of getting a small camping cookware set but they seem too bulky to carry around long term and I don't mind eating cold food.
So what does /trv/ take with them when they hit the road? Also, does anyone know how to prevent chafe from walking long distances?
Don't need shit compadre. Hook up with the Rainbow Family.

That's the plan eventually, best scenario is that I'd find a commune to live with a bit, I'd also like to go to burning man this year who knows!

I did this for a year (europe here) i only had the multitool which i used only a few times and extra underwear and socks. Only real necessity is a sleeping bag(+tent if not urban) and water prevent chafing by carrying less shit but it will happen anyway
