We've had a list of things for a hike here for a long time, which we made for ourselves when we were going to this event for the first time. I present it to your attention!
All things, of course, do not need to be taken with you! Otherwise, you will not lift the backpack, you yourself will understand this when you put it together. It all strongly depends on the difficulty of the hike, the season and the duration. Therefore, you can focus on this list of things for the trip and decide what you need specifically, or not. Some things make sense to take not for each person, but for the group. We try to take backpacks of about 15 kg on simple hikes, and about 20 kg on hikes more difficult.
If you are going to the sea, then it is better to use this list: List of things on the sea at the campsite.

P.S. Hopefully, those who are going to the mountains and forests will find this list of necessary things for the hike useful. Once again, I repeat, you should not take everything from the list, and vice versa, something may be missing here, because the hikes are very different, ranging from the duration to the complexity. Have a nice rest, everyone!
