DAY HIKER’S CHECKLIST
WHAT TO WEAR
The universal clothing rule for hiking is: Do not wear ANYTHING made from cotton. Cotton dries very slowly, and stays soggy and cold when wet.
• Sturdy, broken-in hiking boots. We strongly discourage running shoes, but there are some hiking specific shoes that may also work well for you.
• Socks made from wool, wool blend, polyester, etc. Some hikers add polyester or silk liner socks.
• Polyester, wool, merino wool or wool blend or nylon shirt.
• Shorts or loose, comfortable pants (Polyester, nylon or other similar synthetic material).
ESSENTIALS
• A comfortable daypack.
• At least one or two litres of water, perhaps three, depending on the weather and length of hike.
• Lunch and a snack.
• Rain jacket (with hood) or poncho.
• Warm fleece sweater (or wool).
• Wool hat and gloves or mitts.
• Headlamp or small flashlight. Matches or lighter for emergencies is also a good idea.

• Small first-aid kit (and any personal medical items you may need for asthma, allergies, diabetes, etc.).
