Gathering your kit can be super easy to do or it could be the thing that stops you from going backpacking. If you’re looking to go super lightweight then it’s simple, you have the clothes on your back and your toothbrush in your pocket and that’s pretty much it! But let’s be realistic, doing that might have been the thing to do back in the day, but now that's pretty unheard of.
You need to first find the careful balance of what you need to take with you and what you want to take with you. When I’m going off on an adventure the first thing I do when gathering up my kit is written a list of what I want to take with me, I then break that list down into three sections, essentials, utilities, and luxuries. I take into consideration where I’m going, how long for, the time of year I'll be traveling and also what stops are along the way based on a rough plan of my trip. Using this information divide my want list between the three categories. So let’s say I'm backpack for a week in the UK spring/summer time and I’ll be camping… let’s take a look at my list.

It's a hip belt, not a waist belt, sorry you are wrong.
