Let BetterHelp connect you to a therapist who can support you all from the comfort of your own home- visit https://betterhelp.com/elena | I’m facing off on a lifelong dream of mine- hiking the tallest mountain in Africa. I’m going to be spending nine days with Kiliwarrriors camping and trekking through the Tanzanian wilderness to try to summit Mount Kilimanjaro. I still can't believe I'm doing this. *my other socials*: + instagram: https://www.instagram.com/elenataber/ + tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@elenataber + pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/elenataberr/_saved/ Kiliwarriors: https://kiliwarriors.com/ Brett Conti: https://www.youtube.com/@brettconti Lindsay: https://www.instagram.com/lindzoutside/?hl=en ___________ PACKING | CLOTHING: 1 Base Layer Wool Shirt: https://amzn.to/4e4vEW2 1 Mid Layer Wool Shirt: https://amzn.to/4e1HhwU 2 Long Sleeve Shirt: https://amzn.to/4dZ7g8u 1 Windbreaker Shell: https://rstyle.me/+XTODvTnOzT37m6PDaoFc8w 2 Dry Fit T-Shirt: https://rstyle.me/+4ZhO8M4TKKCaT_iSnaodhg 3 Sports Bra (comfy): https://amzn.to/3NGqtkw 1 Puffer Jacket: https://rstyle.me/+CQ7Jj77oerImwjtP0CUFog 1 Puffer Vest: https://amzn.to/48n0sQI 1 Fleece: https://amzn.to/3NEj316 1 Legging: https://rstyle.me/+wTCvXkTMr8dSXwf41monSw 1 Waterproof Rain Pants: https://amzn.to/40dVV0Z 1 Hiking Pants: https://rstyle.me/+68HYyB26F7VB5gfV87iXkA 1 Extra Hiking Pants: https://amzn.to/40iTtX6 1 Base Layer Bottom: https://amzn.to/3ND7ZS3 1 Mid Layer Bottom: https://amzn.to/3ND7ZS3 Fleece Sweatpants: https://rstyle.me/+wghjNoRiyWHAeqpPTDnMmA 1 Hiking Boots: https://rstyle.me/+kaQakeLTqv4WvSl6g9fxkA 1 Running Shoes: https://amzn.to/4hkGLwP 1 Gloves: https://amzn.to/3YAXFA9 1 Extra Warm Gloves: https://amzn.to/3YC079o Glove Liners: https://rstyle.me/+4QpvxHZJiA2OcW6-CJQBIg 1 Sunglasses: https://rstyle.me/+It2Cr72J4AWeLUDcTQXyUQ 4-5 Socks: https://rstyle.me/+YwbcQGBP1B5lgEi1bBmmtw 1 Ultra warm wool sock (for summit night): https://amzn.to/3NGH3Rq Waterproof hat: https://rstyle.me/+55CvqkgwICVxO_exQ_VBTA Beanie: https://rstyle.me/+mf-YhqyIX7xQhvdSNnYKzg Neck Buff: https://amzn.to/4fhMKB0 Sunglasses: https://amzn.to/4fe0216 OTHER Aquaphor: https://amzn.to/4fBVVfR Headlamp: https://amzn.to/3BXIqsl Rain Poncho: https://amzn.to/4fjCPL7 Towel: https://amzn.to/3UnfaBs 2 Water Bottles: (doubles as a hot water bottle for cold nights): https://amzn.to/3C0903S 1 Day Pack 30L: https://rstyle.me/+cY6dpH9mERkMDYqQJvH6WA External Charger (I brought 2): https://amzn.to/4ff9vp0 Hand Warmers: https://amzn.to/40dVV0Z Feet Warmers: https://amzn.to/3YAVKf0 Packing Cubes: https://amzn.to/3A4xxnY Eyemask: https://amzn.to/3NFenrN Ear Plugs: https://amzn.to/48kAIEq Gaiters: https://amzn.to/40kB4cy Biodegradable wipes: https://amzn.to/4fBVVfR Electrolytes: https://amzn.to/40iNf9q Bring your general hygiene items of course!
