My Winter Hiking Gear: Day Hike

In this video I discuss Winter Hike Essentials: Must-Have Gear for Your Cold-Weather Adventures, Winter is a magical time to hit the trails, but it's important to be prepared. Here are the essentials I always have with me when I hit the trails and allow me to be safe and enjoy my winter hike. If you're new to hiking this video will help you feel more confident on your next winter hike. I discuss gear that I keep in my bag as well as high calorie snacks that I like eating on my winter hikes.

Great video! I am going to REI today to buy base layers. I love how prepared you are for anything. Your channel has taught me so much already, thank you and Crystal!

[@roamingthetrails]

Im glad our videos have been helpful to you 😊 although you don’t need much to get outdoors we do feel more comfortable having the gear we’ve accumulated over time. hope you found what you needed at REI

A personal locator beacon is a life saver. I never go hiking without one. I wish more people would carry them.

[@roamingthetrails]

I’ve been looking into one I just don’t know which route to go on brand. Is there one you recommend?

[@bucknasty176]

@@roamingthetrails I have a Garmin Inreach mini 2 but it is subscription based. I always have to remember to check it before I go hiking. I would recommend a non-subscription based PLB like the ACR ResQLink View. I may be purchasing one of these as a secondary.

@@bucknasty176 thanks for the information, I'd been looking into the Garmin Mini2 but now after reading about the ACR just now I might have to flip a coin to decide. thanks for looking out🙂

Excellent review on stuff for a winter hike (something I try to avoid!) and surprised me with things I wouldn't have thought of, like the crampons.

[@roamingthetrails]

Thank you 😊 sometimes I feel like I might overpack but I rather be prepared for myself and others on the trail 👍🏼

[@aliciabrown841]

Thanks for the tips!.... I just wanted to add sometimes I like to bring a small sunscreen application

[@roamingthetrails]

That’s definitely something I always forget,🤦🏻‍♂️ but it’s good to have 👍🏼

[@markpearce7036]

Thanks for the tips.
P.s what was the weight before you unpack it ?? 😁
