...that reminds me, I better put another roll in my emergency kit. In the past I've wrapped duct tape around one of hiking poles.


I carry too much stuff, but here are the lists I work off of usually. I never carry everything on the list, I just like to have a list of things that I might want to carry - lessens that chances of forgetting something.

Winter Day Hike
Summer Day Hike (cold weather)
(Cold)Summer Day Hike
