Today I wanted to do a quick post on what we take with us when we go on short hikes. This list isn't totally comprehensive and you may need or want other items, but I think this is a good start!
- Fully charged cell phone.
- Trail map. Sometimes these are available on site, but I always print my own just in case.
- Sunscreen.
- Bug spray.
- Camera. Because I have to take pictures wherever we go!
- Water. And plenty of it. It's too easy to get dehydrated, so we make sure to bring at least two large bottles of water with us.
- First aid supplies. Simple things like band aids for small cuts and scrapes; aspirin for headaches; and sinus/allergy medication.
- Snacks. Nothing huge, but something filling that won't melt or go bad if it's kept out too long. Nuts, trail mix, granola bars - we're partial to KIND bars these days.
- Sunglasses/hat. More protection from the sun.
- Pocketknife/Swiss Army knife.
