Outdoors and pregnant - 2 - packing list

So prepping for some nights in the great outdoors, a little hiking, maybe scrambling up a rock and taking a dip in a lake or two, this is what I actually ended up bringing. Good thing I'm traveling by car😉

General stuff - check!
Tent
Sleeping pad
Sleeping bag
Hiking poles
Backpack
Flashlight
Head torch
Mosquito net (pregnant, deet is off limits 😞)

Kitchen
Cooking gear (Trangia)
Cup
Knife
Small thermo bottle
Water bottle
Dish cloth and soap
Lighter

Need to get: gas for the kitchen.
I forgot my food container, so I'll just get something simple for the trip.

Hygiene
Soap
Toothbrush
Tooth paste
Deodorant
Skin moisturizer
Sun screen
Tape
Plaster - check
Towel
Toilet paper
Tweezer for all kinds of small stuff, ticks included.

Clothing
Warm sweater
Socks
Warm socks
Hiking pants
Shorts
Gloves
Hat
Under garments
Swim suit
Rain jacket
Rain pants
Jacket
Sandals
Boots
And in some inexplicable way I forgot the base layers!

Stuff that might come in handy
Climbing gear: shoes, harness, carabiners, gloves, helmet

So now I'm just hoping for fairly good weather. The insane heat of this summer seems to have passed and there are a lot more rainy days - which is good, since my core temperature is higher than usual due to the pregnancy and I've been dying of heat exposure over and over this summer. Ice water is heaven sent sometimes. 😜
