Pam, me and my Husband went to Zion in late April several years ago. It was hot then too and we couldn’t believe how many people were hiking with no water and flip flops. Visitors don’t realize how dangerous the wild is. We live in Colorado and so many visitors get in trouble out here. I also pack first aid, snacks, sunscreen plenty of water and rain gear.
I have become a huge fan of a good set of hiking poles. Can act as a crutch if you turn an ankle. A club if attacked by dogs or wildlife. Can be a tent poles for emergency shelter ...
I was very interested to see your kit for hiking. But there were a couple of things you left out and I was curious why. I didn't see cordage. I would have included bank line and paracord. I would have also included a ferro rod and a simple bick lighter. I did like your camel backs. What brands did you say they are? Very interesting video. Thank you for sharing.
Nice to see im not the only one that will take my camel back with me, even to the shops if im on the golf cart. Im my pack is extra socks , first aid, 2 energy bars, paracord and a lighter . Haha you should see my hicking bag and bug out bag 😂
Add Benadryl to all first aid kits ect !! I found out I was allergic to KIWI one bite my throat started swelling shut soooo not in is at home in truck all first aid kits
I have my whistle on a lanyard attached to my backpack. Sometimes, I take the whistle off and wear around my neck, if I fear getting separated from my backpack. I wear it around my neck on airplanes too! I should probably have more than one whistle!

Good tips! We do have paracord in our car emergency kits, but we need to add some to our backpacks. Same with the ferro rod. The brand is Camelback.

Excellent idea! Thanks.
I use the Indian mosquito repellent called Odomos. Safe even for babies and it works on noseeums.
Good to know! thanks for sharing.
Bear spray?
Noseems = teeth + wings.
Accurate!
I love my walking stick. Its from a Black Walnut tree that used to be in my back yard. Its a good thing.
Pat, would you please tell me again the name of your new camelbak. I can’t seem to find it on Amazon or Google search.
I just put it in our Amazon store and you can find it here: roseredhomestead.com/amazon-trail-grazers
Our kids in Utah won't hike without a gun!
The one thing I did not see in your packs is a turn akin
Great backpacks!

Great idea--thanks for sharing!
I hate it when people don’t pack it out!
Me too!
