What does the P in P rag stand for? Perspiration? Oh. Oh god
Sometimes all I take is a liter of water, suncreen, and a hat!
Personally, I'd only take boots if I knew the trail was incredibly technical to point it would tear up trail runners. Trail runners are better for nearly all conditions. They much lighter, far less likely to cause blisters, air your feet out way better, and dry out very quickly if they get wet. Of course, if you personally need the ankle support, boots are the way to go.
I'm hoping it isn't the same as the one you wear as your neck buff?
And for those also in Australia, snake bite kit! Snake bite kit! Snake bite kit!
You what with your what?!?!🤢😳
Emphasize the knife
Good idea to practice with the gear you choose so you know how well it will do what you expect it to do and you have the skill to use it... Not talking about the pee rag.
ayye Hidden Lake
Nice video with lots of good information - leaving an itinerary is an important one that most day hikers miss completely.
Something simple that I might have missed in the video is... a whistle. Could be very helpful for rescuers looking for a lost hiker. When you’re lost in the woods, a passerby could be within earshot of you, even though you may not see them.
I'd recommend one other thing for this day hike essential list: A useful water filtration unit. I've packed a lifestraw before, but ended up cutting a Sawyer filter inline on my water reservoir tube. If it gets hotter than you thought, you give some water to your dog, use it to hydrate a dry meal, end up drinking more than you thought... whatever the reason, being able to fill up your reservoir and not worry about getting sick is a wonderful thing. I also recommend the Grayl if you have room. It's my favorite filter for dayhiking because I find it highly reliable and easy to use.
Whoa, older video.
Awesome info. I'm hitting up 4 national parks over 10 days this month and this is a good reminder of what I should prep and bring with me. I'm going to bring water filtration which I hadn't thought of until I saw your Platypus water bladder. Thanks for the helpful vid.
There are some really solid tips. My hiking shoes and boots are very comfortable, but my feet are sooooo happy at the end of the hike to slip into some socks and sandals.I also bring along a few water treatment tablets. They weigh very little, and could come in very handy. It's usually not part of a standard medical kit, but I also bring along a few ibruprofen. I usually bring along a light fixed blade knife, like a Mora (the one with the fire stick built into the handle), as well as a basic Swiss army knife that has tweezers, pick, scissors, etc. Nothing more aggravating than the tiniest splinter to ruin a day, and those tweezers can come in handy! I also bring along a couple packages of Natrapel (bug repellent). For sun, those little travel sized sunscreen tubes pack easily and can be lifesavers to have along. Finally, I usually bring along an extra pair of shoelaces. If I forget the shoelaces, the paracord bracelet I wear will substitute in an emergency.Thanks!
Great vid! Like the space blanket !
Nice advice .....they are all urgent to have on your hiking
Very helpful. I also bring sunscreen in my backpack.
And bug spray
helpfull for all hikers
