For me hiking is essential. It helps me recharge my batteries, clear my head and connect with nature.
Luckily where I live there are several places that are not too far. If you are not sure where to find your local spot try this website: localhikes.com. Their website is a great resource.
Now that you have your destination... it is time to plan.
When ever you are out in nature it is important to stay safe.
Be Aware- remember you are not alone.
There are many creatures about, Always RESPECT nature and nature will leave you alone.
Here are a few things you should carry in your pack no matter how far you intend to go. Many a hiker has gone out for an innocent few hour hike, just to find out they went out longer than they should have or they wind up hurt and stuck in the woods.
It is always better to be safe and prepared than have to smack yourself later about it.
Try to keep your pack as light as possible, there are many things designed specifically for hikers. If you do not want to build your own, you dont have to. There are plenty online like this one survivalsolutions /emergency hiking kit fannypack
This is a list of what you should take with you.
