Packing List

To get the most from Fjällräven Classic UK and stay safe in nature, you need to have the right clothing and equipment. That’s why we’ve deemed some equipment mandatory (marked with an asterisk). Please go through the list thoroughly to see what you have and what you need to get.

 

We will perform random equipment controls at the start, just to make sure you have all the mandatory equipment. By bringing the mandatory equipment, we know that you will be able to survive a forced break for several hours. In the case of an emergency, notify other trekkers and ask them to inform an official of the situation at the next checkpoint. Help will come, but it may take time due to the remote location. With a tent, sleeping mat and a sleeping bag, you will have the best chance of surviving until help arrives.

To bring with you

  •  Tent*
  • Sleeping bag*, preferably three-season sleeping bag

Important to know

During Fjällräven Classic UK you are responsible for your safety. If something happens which causes you to have to stay longer at one spot than you had planned during the trek, the mandatory items we have outlined are necessary for your wellbeing. Therefore, it is very important to carry your own gear.

 

However, if you’re hiking in a group, some of the items in the list may be shared with your fellow trekkers. If you are sharing equipment, you must stay together during the hike.

 

Items that may be shared between participants include:

  • Tent
  • Stove and fuel
  • Magnetic compass
  • First aid kit

 

If you do not have an item from the list of mandatory equipment, you will not be allowed to take part in Fjällräven Classic UK. At the start of the trek, we will randomly check to see whether participants have their mandatory equipment.
