Packing a rucksack
With packing a rucksack you would put the heavier objects at the bottom so it can support your back.
Items that should be waterproofed in your pack.
Pretty much everything needs to be waterproof so the best thing is to put a big garbage bag over your pack.
Selecting a campsite for a tent
The best campsite for a tent is off the walking track and 100 m from a river, on a flat ground and away from large trees.

When selecting food you want quick and easy, bring as little rubbish as possible and make sure the food your taking nobody is allergic too.
