Always a good idea to avoid rainy seasons to plan your trip. Reason ? Well for one it will be really wet on the trial and cold should it start raining, even with raincoat it can be quite unpleasant and unbearable if you do not have a breathable type. Because of bad weather flight can be cancelled and you do not want to be Strandled as a result.
Another lesson which I learnt first hand was luggage that are check in ,there are risk of them getting lost or even left behind and if that happen you are left without any clothings other than those you wore.If you are hiking for a few days that can be a nightmare unless you have friends who can spare you some and if they are about your size. Buying from the shops might not be an option if your plane landed at the time when all shops are already closed.
So the solutions avoid checking it your luggage but if you must have another hand carried bag with at least two day's clothing.
If you have to walk long distance to your campsite it is best you packed light and squeeze into your medium size back pack.
My next packing list would consist of:-
1) light clothing for 2 days.the cloths which I wore on the first day can be worn again on the last day.
2) avoid carrying big items like inflatable pillows. Make do with what ever items you have like cloths. or the back pack.
3)toiletries items can be put into plastic bags or similar bags .Not only they safe space but they are also lighter.
4) have a foldable day hike bag which can be put into your bag which contain the rest of your items.
I think this should do it. Lesser contents and lighter and easier on your back when have to walk quite a distant to the camp site and you are not willing to hire a porter to do the job.
