As the title says, one of my friends wants to go on a backpacking trip with me. Usually I like to be very spontaneous and sorta “rough it”, which would definitely not be good for the guy. I planned out a nice flat-ish 30 km route for us where we can watch the sunrise and the sunset from an overlook. What are some things that I should do in order to make his first trip a little better?

    I second helping pack, but for the opposite reason. I’ve been on trips where someone overstated their confidence they are prepared, only to find out they read about ultralight backpacking the week before and I’ve had to split supplies and cut the trip short.
