My backpack. 3 straps snapped (having a bad fall with it didn't help!) The cover wasn't waterproof, was too small and l had sore shoulders the whole trek

Test your gear and your fitness on short overnighters. Start slow and build up, don't try and double hut straight away. Take your time and enjoy
