Here comes mine and Jon’s gear lists. This is what we have packed for our 5 day trip in Jotunheimen. Below every picture you’ll find a link to our gear lists (Excel files). If you have any improvements or comments please drop them below. I don’t think we have time to make large adjustments but it’s always nice to get feedback.
As you’ll find in the spreadsheets we’ve shared some gear between each other like the sleeping- and cooking system. My list will be complete with all the stuff I use if I were to go on a solo trip.
The real interesting thing is that last year on our longest trip, 4 days, we carried packs that weighed in at 22-24kg each including water… As you can see below, things have changed my friends!
My list – 8.9kg
- Granite Gear Crown V.C 60
- HMG Ultamid 2 cuben fiber tent
- Patagonia jackets and sweaters
- Arc’Teryx Palisade pants
- Inov-8 TrailRoc 245 shoes
Jon’s list – 7.4kg
- Gossamer Gear Kumo
- 2x Zpacks Pertex Quantum Bivy
- Trail Designs Sidewinder + Inferno Cone, Ti Tri, w. Evernew 0.9l pot
- Houdini Motion Light pants
- Salomon Fellraiser shoes

Hi Andreo, thanks for posting this.
I’ll be travelling to Jotunheimen next month.
Did you have to book a bus ticket in advance from Otta to Gjendesheim, or just buy the ticket when the bus arrived?
Also, where did you buy fuel before your trip?
Many thanks,
Hi there!
We actually went by car as we’re from Sweden so no need to book a bus for us. Can’t really say much about it unfortunately. Hence driving, we bought the fuel at home.
