What to Pack for an Off-Grid Weekend Escape (and What to Leave Behind)

What to Pack for an Off-Grid Weekend Escape (and What to Leave Behind)

When you're heading off-grid, what you pack becomes a reflection of what you value. At Unearth Style Co., we believe that a well-packed bag can lead to a richer experience—because less really does become more when you’re surrounded by nature.

Essentials to Pack:

  • Water bottle & thermos: Hydration is key, especially in remote places. Reusable bottles align with the planet-positive ethos we stand for.

  • Solar-powered power bank: Bring one only if you need a safety net. Otherwise, see what happens when you go offline.

  • Layered clothing: Think natural fibers—wool, linen, breathable cotton. Conditions change quickly in the bush.

  • Headlamp: For exploring at night or writing in your journal under the stars.

  • Unearth Travel Journal & pen: Our journal includes guided prompts for deeper reflection and mindful exploration.

  • Natural skincare: Keep it clean and simple—think balm, sunscreen, and something calming like lavender mist.

 

What to Leave Behind:

  • The work phone and to-do lists

  • Any pressure to create "perfect" content

  • Overpacked bags filled with unnecessary options

  • Expectations—let the experience unfold

Bonus Pro Tips from Our Community:

  • Packing cubes: They keep your gear organized and easy to grab in dim lighting.

  • Meal prepping: Avoid unnecessary trash and stress. Keep meals simple but nourishing.

  • Silk pillowcase: A soft touch of comfort that adds a little luxury to the wilderness.

Intention begins with what you choose to carry. So carry only what connects, sustains, and frees you. Want more off-grid tips and exclusive travel gear launches? Subscribe at unearthstyleco.com.au and join the journey.
