I have to admit it is always so exciting when I’m about to go on a hiking trip either locally or on some backcountry hike. However like most of you adventurers already know it takes preparation to get ready for a proper hike.
Beyond picking your location, finding the right time to go on your hike and your squad to travel with. You have to then start thinking about what to pack. So below I have compiled a Hiking Essentials list of a few things you should always take along, no matter how long or short, deserted trail you may be on. I hope this list helps you get started but of course depending on what climate and what type of hike you are doing this list will expand. Happy hiking.
