Hiking Gear List

(/)

AUTHOR : KELLY GRIFFIN | PUBLISHED : 28TH SEPTEMBER 2016

When hiking the best laid plans can easily be undone by


changeable weather or unforeseen events.
It is important to play safe and take as many extra supplies of
food and water as you can comfortably carry.

Clothing choice is also critical, with multiple layers proving the


best way to keep both cool and warm on the trail. Base your
choices on the length of your trip and possible weather extremes.
