A Checklist Of The 5 Most Essential Hiking Must-Haves
Have you ever been hiking and have not had an amazing experience? Was it because you were not carrying your necessary hiking gear? Maybe yes. Hiking can be very fun yet very tedious, so if you want to make the most out of your trip you have to make sure you’re carrying the right gear. If you’re planning a hiking trip here are the 5 key products you must have!

1. Hiking Backpack


The first and foremost is your backpack or hiking gear. You can keep all your belongings needed throughout your trip in a backpack which is specially designed for hiking. You can keep your boots, glasses, sunscreen, and snacks in your gear.  So, the first step after planning your trip is to buy proper hiking gear to carry all the necessary goods. You will need some form of transportation to get you and your gear to your starting destination, if you don’t own a form of transportation you should consider buying new trucks to give you extra storage space for extra food or water in case of an emergency. After reaching your hiking destination you will have to carry your backpack all the way to your destination so make sure to grab only necessity and leave unnecessary items behind.

2. Rain Gear and Extra Clothing


Hiking is very adventurous and therefore can be met with unanticipated happenings. There are always chances of rain which might make hiking an even better experience, but not without rain gear. Wet clothes might make you feel uncomfortable and can cause a skin rash. Other ways of dealing with rain can be found at bearfoottheory.

3. Map


Carrying a GPS is very useful, but they're always going to be connection issues so it is useful to carry a map as a backup. Maps can be used to find your way. You might also want to carry a compass to find your current location. The importance of carrying a map has always been emphasized by hikers. 

4. Extra Food and Water


While hiking, chances are that you might take time to admire mother-nature. You might stop by to take a gaze at some breathtaking views. This might keep you out longer than planned, so extra snacks are crucial! Since hiking can be strenuous at times you might get dehydrated, so keeping and drinking extra water is very important. You might also be so deeply engrossed in the splendid environment that you might get lost. So, in case you do get lost somewhere having extra food and water are essential!

5. First Aid Kit and Safety Items


You might hike through rough places and there are high chances of you falling and scraping your knee. You must have a first aid kit at all times to deal with cuts and wounds that you’re most likely to get. Safety items would include a knife, torchlight, pepper-spray to combat any sordid happenings during the trip.
So, these were 5 of the most important products you should pack for your next hiking adventure. Make sure that you carry your day to day skin care products, as well as the weather conditions, might cause adverse skin reactions. Don’t forget to wear waterproof boots and appropriate clothing. That’s all from us, hope you enjoy your trip. Happy hiking!!
