Life lessons I learned from backpacking

1) Invest in rain gear! Get pants with full side zips and gaiters. It is totally acceptable to rock the latest from the EMS clearance rack

2) If said rain gear does not fit in your pocket, get some that does. It's worth it

3) If something only has one purpose, consider if it's worth having at all. There are few exceptions

4) Live deliberately

5) It's ok to let someone else scratch your butt

6) Baby wipes and baking soda have multiple 'freshening' virtues

7) Invest in winter gear, especially good pants with gaiters 'cuz frozen laces are a pain in the ass

8) It's ok if your winter gear doesn't fit in your pocket

9) Don't let duct tape steal the spotlight! Be aware of the uses of superglue, shoelaces, dental floss, and tampons. Any or all of those things could save a life

10) Respect everything around you. Life is full of things that are bigger than you are

11) Don't take more than 10% of something that isn't yours, if you have to take anything at all

12) Treat things that aren't yours with more respect than things that belong to you
