Gear
For short hikes down
the local bike path,
you can usually just
grab a pair of sturdy
shoes. But as you
venture farther afield,
the right equipment
can make your hikes
easier, safer, and more
comfortable. The basic
items you’ll need are
marked in blue, while
the items described in
brown will serve you
well for more
advanced or longer
hikes into the wild.
