Hiking Equipment is the equipment used for outdoor travel. Hiking is usually divided into day hikes and several days hikes, called backpacking, trekking, and walking tours.
The selected equipment varies according to the duration, distance, planned activity, and environment. Additional factors include weight and readiness for unplanned events. The degree of preparedness may relate to remoteness and potential hazards; for example, a short days hike through farmland or trekking in the Himalayas. The length and duration of walking may affect the amount of weight carried.
The nature of the rise is good by the natural environment and the prevailing government regulations and pedestrian plan accordingly when considering equipment. To minimize the impact on the natural environment, many pedestrians follow the principle of "Leave Without a Trail."

Planning and checklist
According to Tom Brown, the basic plan for survival is the order of shelter (including clothing), water, fire, and food. Cody Lundin writes about "Rule of 3s"; it relates to basic human survival: three minutes without air, three hours without shelter, three days without water, or three weeks without food.
Climbers can carry their equipment ranging from powerful knives to ultralight backpacking (10-25 pounds), to the heaviest and most durable pedestals. Checklists help minimize the possibility of forgetting something important.
Considerations for hiking equipment options may include:
- Long and long distance from trip
- Weight and optimal capacity
- Special medical considerations
- Weather: temperature range, sun/shade, rain, snow, ice
- Terrain: road conditions, cliffs, sand, swamps, river crossings
- Shelter and clothing
- Water plan
- Food
- Overnight shelter
- Animal protection: mosquito repellent, anaphylactic drug, first aid snakebite, antivenom, mace, bear spray, bear-bear food container
- Tools for special events
Maps Hiking equipment
Bringing method and capacity
The capacity of a pack to carry goods is determined by:
- Bring method to body
- Bag volume
- Strength of construction, design, materials, and quality of construction
Commonly used carrier methods include:
- Bracelets, belt loops, thin neck lanyards, and pocket clothing are smaller and lighter methods.
- Small belt bags (60 cu.in., 1 liter) that can be attached to a belt
- Bodypack or tactical vest (100-200 cu.in.) is a load-bearing vest, and may be as simple as a fishing vest.
- A single shoulder bag (500-800 cu.in., 8-14L) uses a shoulder strap, such as a backpack, courier bag, or sling bag.
- A waistpack can range in size from a belt bag to a backpack (1-14L); in larger sizes, shoulder straps may be provided. The waist bag can be carried over the shoulder.
- The daily package (1,000-2,000 cu.in., 17-34L) is a small to medium sized backpack that has two shoulder straps, the smaller one may not include a waist belt.
- The harness system may include a small backpack, waistpack, vest, and some belt bags.
- Larger cargo backpack (6,000 cu.in, 100 L) with large and soft shoulder straps and belt; some of which are designed to carry several hundred pounds.
Some pedestrians divide their backpacks into sections that are related to special needs, ie kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, etc., or with clothing, shelter, water, fire, and food. Military and law enforcement personnel use a variety of modular systems and attachments, such as task belts, tactical vests, All-Destination Lightweight Personal Tools, MOLLE, Better Charging Tools, FILBE, and PLCE. The military surplus outlet is an optional source for backpacking equipment.
The quality of construction can be determined by design, manufacturer reputation, advertised objectives, and field testing. Customer reviews are often posted online. Heavy pack fabric made from 800-1000 nylon denier material.
A large package, 100 liters (6,100 cuÃ, in) weighs 100 pounds (45 kg), and 1 liter (0.26 US) of water weighs 1 kilogram (2.2 pounds). The best-made packages can carry up to twice their weight in water; packets that are not made properly can only carry half the weight into the water. Karen British army backpack, which has a capacity of 120 liters (7300 cuÃ, in) carrying up to 90 kilograms (200 pounds) is made of 1000 denier nylon. Backpacks carrying more than 30 pounds (14 kg) usually have a belt to help with body posture by moving the weight to the hip. Some experts recommend keeping the total weight of the equipment up to less than 25% of the weight of the pedestrian.
Clothing
Clothing provides insulation from heat, cold, water or fire. It punctures the body and protects it from injury from thorns and insect bites.
Basic outdoor clothing materials are goose, wool, polyester, and polyolefin, which provide the same level of insulation when dry. Wool and polyester perform well enough for most weather conditions and provide some insulation when wet. Cotton/linen absorbs moisture, good for hot/humid weather. Cotton, linen and bottom lose insulation when wet unless they are treated waterproof.
Natural fabrics, such as cotton, linen and wool have higher combustion temperatures, and they prefer to melt when exposed to fire. When the fabric melts into the skin it is difficult to remove, unlike the material that chars. Nomex is used for flame retardant clothing. Wool is a nice all-round fabric. Cotton and linen are best for hot and worst for cold and wet weather. Synthetics can be almost the same as wool in winter; many of them are fire hazards. Fabrics can be treated to help reduce their losses.
Down is the lightest thermal insulation material and compresses the most. Synthetic is the best. Wool is heavier than down and synthetic, and does not solidify well. Sack goods and compression sacks are used to carry isolated clothes and sleeping bags. Layered clothing allows the adjustment of body temperature well. The inner layer must absorb moisture. The middle layer is used for proper insulation, and the outer shell layer provides wind and rain protection.
For long trips, having enough clothes to be replaced is helpful, while washing or drying others. A pair of additional socks can be used as mittens. Shorts for swimming and doodles are also useful. Wet clothes do not seal as well and can freeze when pedestrians wear it. If a pedestrian falls into ice water, immediately changing dry clothes from a dry bag can save lives. Layered clothing helps regulate body temperature in various weather conditions.
Gloves provide protection from blisters, blisters, cold and hot objects, and insects. General purpose gloves are thin - wool gloves may be preferred around the campfire - combined with a pair of leather gloves. Liner gloves often provide considerable dexterity while not fully exposing the hands to freezing conditions. Shoes with traction reduce the chances of slipping, causing injury or death. Shoes that support the ankle can also prevent injury. Well-designed, breathable, and waterproof hiking boots are public hiking boots. Mountain shoes provide more special protection. Trainers, sandles, or mokasin are useful for easy walking and can be done with extended climbing as a backup, and for use when streaming and at night around the camp. The waterproof foot protector is used in cold or wet conditions to protect the bottom of the pants and the top of the shoe, and reduces the amount of water, snow, and debris from the entry of boots and seeps into other fabrics. Brush pants or trousers for a thick brush or thorn, and snake chapters or armrest protectors help protect the foot from snake bites. hot-wet-weather
- Long-sleeved shirts and trousers provide protection against sunlight and insects, and help reduce blisters while plowing through the brush and when it slips and falls onto a rock.
- Sun hat
- The head jackets and nets provide insect protection and are especially useful if the mosquito coils are ineffective or out of stock. These are some items that pedestrians can use to minimize the use of mosquito repellent on their skin.
- Rainwear made of waterproof or impermeable cloth, and preferably breathing, such as Gore-Tex:
- Raincoat
- Rain pants and/or rain skirts (useful in warmer climates)
- Rain poncho, using: tarpaulin, soil cloth, backpack cover, hammock, stretcher
- Plastic bags made into ponchos and rain skirts
- Gloves and socks. Latex (petroleum degrades them) or Nitrile gloves (medical grade is top grade)
- Plastic bag with socks and put into shoes
- Forest footwear: removable shoes for running water, best possible wicking socks, sandals with good running straps or jungle moccasins
Ice cold snow clothing
- Raincoat
- Rain pants and/or rain skirts (useful in warmer climates)
- Rain poncho, using: tarpaulin, soil cloth, backpack cover, hammock, stretcher
- Plastic bags made into ponchos and rain skirts
- Gloves and socks. Latex (petroleum degrades them) or Nitrile gloves (medical grade is top grade)
- Plastic bag with socks and put into shoes
- Forest footwear: removable shoes for running water, best possible wicking socks, sandals with good running straps or jungle moccasins
High altitude pedestrians face freezing conditions, even in summer, and there are also permanent glaciers and snow fields.
- Parka, an isolated mantle that extends below the waist, often hooded
- Snow pants: insulated, windproof
- Long shirt
- Balaclavas are versatile, as they can protect the head, neck and face from the cold.
- Insulated face mask to provide a strong wind barrier for extreme cold that is outside balaclava.
- Shawls are versatile and can be combined with a knitting hat for the same effect as balaclava.
- Gloves: insulated, breathable, and watertight. Mittens for extreme cold temperatures, but they offer fewer dexterity. The glove gloves used with the gloves provide more dexterity without fully exposing the hand to the elements.
- Snow shoes, mukluks, rabbit shoes
Sheltered
Overnight protection
An overnight shelter may be as simple as a wool blanket and tarpaulin, or a complete sleeping system in a double, double-walled tent. The sleeping layer can be layered in the same way as layers of clothing: the inner, middle, and outer skin. Bedding options range from pillows made from clothes to sleeping systems consisting of bedding, sleeping bags, bivouac shelter, bag liner, and compression pouch. Residential structures can be constructed from tarpaulins, earthen plates, ropes, poles, or trees, with mosquito nets. Rain poncho can be used as a ground mat, or used as a tarp overhead, or rigged as a hammock. Hammock tents are equipped with bug nets and overhead tarps. A cave, a bivouac shelter, or a debris shelter can also be used. Forests are used in forests and tropical rainforests, where rainfall, mud, invertebrates and snakes are common. A hammock in Venezuela or a well-ventilated forest, with bug nets and a tarpaulin cover. A platform can be built from the ground or tied to a tree. Trekking poles can be used to build shelters; they can be used as poles for tarpaulins. Some tents are designed to use trekking poles in place with additional poles, a common technique in ultralight backpacking.
Continuous underwear-layer
This line can obscure or switch between clothing, bedding, and structural dwellings. Rain-poncho and thermal liner (or regular poncho) are examples of equipment that can be clothing, beds, and structural shelter. Ultralight Backpackers use cold weather clothing to extend the temperature range of their sleeping bags. Then this reason can extend to packing winter coats and snow pants with a bivy pouch before adding a two-pound sleeping bag. Adding an isolated pair of socks or down boot will complete the insulating layer.
Given the unexpected changes to cold weather, the bed can be converted into cellular insulation, but if the package already contains these items, time and energy will be stored.
Basic tools and capabilities
The most basic climbing tools are powerful knives, pots, straps, several ways to make fire, and equipment to carry water and other equipment.
- Bandana, using: hat, dust mask, face scarf, water filter, first aid, signal, etc.; larger version such as scarf, holster
- Cutting, cutting and sawing: knives, multi-tools, tomahawk, axes, axes, bucksaw, snow knives, or snow saws
- Container (see below)
- Cordage (see below)
- Dig: sharp stick, dashing knife, shovel, ice ax, entrenching tool (spade shovel), compact shovel, snow shovel
- Fire (see below)
- Light:
- Flashlight (British Torch) or two, preferably handsfree (headbands or headlights), backup batteries and light bulbs.
- Candles of wax or fat, or oil lamps
- Fire and wooden torch
- Medical: first aid kit, medicines, medicinal plants, cloth, umbilical cord, superglue, Nitrile gloves
- Avoids the need for better medical care when made possible by learning about nature, water treatment, food poisoning, poisonous plants and animals, and survival skills to avoid things like frostbite.
- Sun Protection:
- Clothes: arm shirts and trousers, full or full caps with bandana, thin gloves
- Glasses: year-round protection from blowing sand/snow, sharps, glare, and snow blindness. A group of cloth (bandana) or bark can be used to form a pair of emergency glasses by cutting a narrow gap in it. They are very important in height.
- Sunscreen protects from multiple rays
- Lip balm
- Information: Have information including being aware of the environment and events that may be relevant to pedestrians. It starts with being able to navigate. The other part is the weather, can read the weather, after collecting the latest and longer predictions before the climb, and may have weather radio for updates. Be able to see further (binoculars) and record what views may be additional equipment in this area.
- Navigation by reference, terrain, and by map and compass.
- Swimming applies to First rule 3: air. If pedestrians are swept from their feet into deep water, or fall into the lake, then swim up to the top of the list.
Water package
Water should be drinkable. Climbers usually carry some, but do not carry everything they need, because it weighs one kilogram (2.2 pounds) per liter, and pedestrians can consume 2-4 liters per day (4-9 pounds). Additional water can usually be found, collected, filtered, and purified. All water in the wild is potentially unclean.
Details water locations are beyond the scope of this article. The basics use the map, knowing how water flows through and collect in certain geographical formations (natural cisterns), and identify which plants show underground water and contain accessible water. Going downstream, and searching for rich green vegetation that can show springs, is a way to start. Following the bees and tracking the animals into the reservoir, knowing where to dig in the dry creek, and perhaps waiting for the night when vegetation releases water, is a slightly more advanced technique. Water can be collected in clean containers. Clear plastic bags can be used to make vegetation and sun. Dehydration, a free chemical sponge can be used to wipe the dew from the vegetation, or tied to the ankle before one walks through wet vegetation in the morning, absorbing water from wet rock or sand. Flexible drinking straws can access the water in rock gaps, or drink from water without opening it. Tarpaulins can also be used to collect rainwater or dew.
To remove larger impurities, water can be filtered through grass, sand, charcoal or cloth, such as bandanas or pantyhose. Pantyhose can also be used as an emergency fishing net. Filtering water from larger impurities is a useful way to extend the life of commercial filters, prevent them from clogging up quickly.
Water must be purified from harmful living organisms and chemicals. Some commercial filters can remove most organisms and some harmful chemicals, but they are not 100% effective. Filter distillate, purify, and eliminate some hazardous chemicals. Chemicals with a lower boiling point of water or about the same are not removed by distillation. Iodine solution or chlorine dioxide or tablet can be used to purify water. It can boil water in pots or water bottles that are fireproof. Water can be boiled in some combustible materials such as bark because water absorbs heat. Pasteurization takes place at temperatures lower than the boiling point, but knowing the water temperature and calculating the duration of treatment can be difficult. This technique is useful when only non-durable containers are available. Sunlight can be used with clear containers. Filters made from hot-treated diatomized soils can also be used.
Drain water
Bottled metal water, wide mouths or metal pans or cups can also be used to boil and transport water, and can be used fairly easily for cooking. Cover the pan will help boil water faster, help cook with less fuel, and reduce water loss. Other containers for carrying water include appropriate plastic water bottles in materials such as Nalgene. There was a hard plastic bottle, and folded soft bottles. The hydration packing tube froze easily. Non-lubricated condoms can accommodate up to two liters, but are particularly prone to puncture. Placing the stick on the knot will allow it to be reused. Breast bag is a plastic bag that doubles Ziploc, so it's easier to reseal than a condom and not easily pierced. They are transparent, allowing solar purification and can be used as a magnifying lens to light a fire. Containers that may be frozen with water in it allow for 10% expansion; they may be charged up to 90%. Oral rehydration therapy packages can be added to water to help replace electrolytes.
Fire package
Fire requires ignition, oxygen, and fuel, and the ability to extinguish fire. Ignition can come from sparks, chemical reactions, electricity, or concentrated solar energy. The more oxygen involved, the easier the fire starts to burn and the more it burns. The organic material must be dry or the fire should be hot enough to dry it and burn it. Fraying of organic material is more flammable as a rancid. Grains of wheat and sugar can ignite when oxygenated over the fire.
Ignition sources include flint, carbon steel, fire and sharp edges, matches, butane and zippo, and peanut lighters, and magnifying glass. Fuel includes natural materials such as dry wood, peat and coal. pitch, petroleum jelly, charred cotton, shaved rubber, and frayed synthetic fabrics can be used as firewood. Candles provide illumination and can help light a fire. Alcohol, DIY and commercial alcohol stoves are made and carried by pedestrians. Oil, petroleum, vegetables, and fats can help start and feed the fire. The propane bottle is made for backpacking. Charcoal or briquettes can be packed in a fire.
Fire is definitely is a way to light a fire in bad conditions or when pedestrians do not have man-made equipment, such as when the fuel is wet, or the lighter ran out of fuel. Some pedestrians will carry the tinder in some form, like some cotton balls soaked in pure petroleum jelly, pitch wood. Alcohol-wipes and alcohol-hand-cleaners are another option. Vegetable oils, and some fruit oils, such as olive oil, coconut oil, corn chips, or nuts can be eaten and can be used to help light a fire because of the oil in it. The "bad" conditions also include high altitudes due to lack of oxygen, high winds blowing fire, high humidity that soaks up fuel sources or ignitors.
To extinguish the campfire, see extinguish the fire. Knowing ways to survive wildfire can also help.
Cordage
Cordage provides the ability to bind, build, fix, and prevent damage. It comes in a variety of sizes and materials, and can be used to build shelters and traps, flossing teeth, fishing, repairing and making clothes, changing shoelaces, gluing or pasting things. Many straps are made from natural materials. Some types of straps are:
- The parachute cable is flexible; the inner thread can be easily pulled out to make the binding longer, or used as a thread for sewing or fishing.
- Sewing and sewing threads, dental floss, fishing line, bank line, string, yarn, clothing line.
- Wire, such as a tripwire cable or wire meshes, has many uses.
- Lanyard, straps, belts, bungee straps
- Tape: medical tape, masking tape, masking tape
- Elastic/rubber band (catapult), condom for catapult
- Climbing rope for shelter, cliffs and randomization
- Superglue
Container
There are various containers to set and keep the equipment dry:
- Obviously, ziploc freezer bags in liter and gallon sizes can be used for emergency water purification and transportation. When filled with equipment and clothing, they become inflated and can help with emergency flotation.
- The dry bag is heavier, more durable, and provides the same benefits. Dry bags can be used as an emergency container to boil water using hot-rock method.
- Sacks and compression sacks help reduce the volume of clothes and sleeping bags.
- Hard and hard plastic packaging that uses O-rings can be used to carry important or expensive equipment, such as electronics, and for devices that store key pocket items.
Food
Military ready meals provide a wide selection of food for pedestrians; they tend to be higher in fat and salt than are suitable for people who are not active. The food is not dehydrated, and is not meant for more than a few days of hiking. Most of them are not designed to minimize the space they carry in a single package.
In addition to food expiration dates, the main considerations for climbing food are moisture content, calorie density (more energy per pound for a given space), and nutrient density (more nutrients per pound for a given space). Water weighs one gram per cubic centimeter, or 8.33 pounds per gallon, so a 4 liters (1 gallon) food container can weigh up to eight pounds less when it contains dry food. Drying food can reduce weight and reduce nutrients while increasing the need for water to rearrange food. More weight also consumes more energy, so packing a lighter diet reduces the need for more calories. Calories are equivalent to energy. Nutrition becomes more important as the number of hiking days increases; for example MRE is not intended to be used for more than ten days. Multi-vitamins can help offset some of the nutritional deficiencies.
Three macronutrients are fat (lipids), carbohydrates (sugar and starch), and proteins. Calorie-dense fats and nutritionally important, peanuts are a good example. Carbohydrates (starches and sugars) that release energy slowly (measured by glycemic index and glycemic load or insulin index) provide sustainable energy, such as nuts and seeds. Some sources of protein are meat, dairy products, fish, eggs, grains, beans, nuts, and nuts. This is the reason that mixed "traces" usually have dried fruit and various nuts. Beans and dried fruits can last a long time based on the expiration date. The USDA page on the expiration date is available online.
Not all foods need to be dried or dried. When a pedestrian plans to carry a few liters of water, that is 4.4 pounds of water weight that can be brought in fresh fruits and vegetables for the first day. The same goes for other foods based on their water weight. Depending on which one is chosen, this can eliminate or reduce the need for cooking, and time of reconstitution. One of the first meals to be visited was a Greek salad with fruit cocktail, followed by boiled beans and tortillas. Peanut butter and honey sandwich on a pipette bread can last longer depending on the preservatives in bread and peanut butter. The same goes for canned food, most of it weighs in water. Choosing the same canned food: calorie and solid nutrition. Using this can make pedestrians walk a day or two with little difference in the food that is usually eaten.
Taking food that does not require cooking provides higher mobility (does not stop for cooking), and allows for the possibility of not having a fire, cooking stove broke, or running out of fuel. In general, the food at the grocery store which is not in the cooler-freezer section, available for walkways.
No-baked artificial "energy" protein bars may contain oatmeal, ground flaxseed, garut powder (medicines), peanut butter, ground nuts, chopped peanuts, coconut oil (multi-use), coconut flakes, dried fruit, cinnamon ( medicine), mature nuts, and natural sweeteners, such as honey; they can also be baked. The roasted version may contain natural sweeteners such as bananas, apple sauce, grated carrots and zucchini. Either way, they and materials without bake can be used for traces.
Flavor enhancer: salt, salt substitute, chilli powder, spices, dried herbs, powdered bars or cubes, spicy sauce.
If food supplies run out, field guides for edible, medicinal, and toxic crops may be useful. Or a pedestrian can learn it first. When the movie "Into the Wild" is released, some toxic plants look like edible plants. He has a field guide with him but does not pay attention to the details quite well.
Vegan Note: The tools in this article come from hoping for the best and getting ready for the worst, balanced by how many hikers want to take and take the risk. In that context, if bad scenarios happen and hunger is near, then it may be too late to pick and learn and can fish and trap. As stated neutrally, the decision becomes informed choice.
If pedestrians plan their food carefully, they will probably eat healthier on the road.
Cooling
Water and food can be cooled in the snow. Evaporation causes cooling and is used in a pot-in-pot refrigerator. Placing the green grass or sponge into the hat and soaking it with water is another technique. Bottled water can be cooled in the flow.
Cooking
Ultralight Backpackers rely on unnecessary food, and rearrange previously dehydrated and cooked foods without cooking. Drinks or warm food can help a person with a lower body temperature or help boost morale. In an emergency, most locations will supply material for fire, as long as there is a container that can withstand heat. Some options and sacrifices to choose equipment.
Cooking options Cooking options can range from candles to bonfires, and may include a solar oven, or Fresnel lens, or more typical tools and other options:
Common utensils : knives, forks, spoons, and sporks. A butter knife may not be an optimal weight item considering that other knives may be available, or at least may be sharpened. Equipment can be carved from wood. A fork pierced the food, as did a sharp stick or knife. Sporks trades spoon volume with the ability to spear food. A medium-sized strong metal spoon can be used for cooking, eating, and digging. Even if not cooking, equipment can be useful as a tool.
- Mess kit or cookset is a nesting set, usually containing a pan with a cover, multiple times multiple lids or pots, bowls, and perhaps cups.
- Towel, bandana, or cotton T-shirt
- Biodegradable soaps, or natural cleansers such as baking soda, vinegar, pure lemon crystals
Personal hygiene
The equipment is not in the kitchen yet.
- Dental hygiene: toothbrush (probably honed for marlin splits for rope work), etc.
- Feminine hygiene that serves as first aid and tinder: tampon, cushion
- Toilet paper (tinder), wet wipes (exact fire)
- Tweezers, in kit, in multi-tool, on key
Electronics
Handheld-resistant electronic water (or stored in a waterproof bag) with a spare battery for critical gear. Some devices come with different power options: solar, hand crank, and/or USB. And then there is a portable solar charging system. Depending on the electronics to work in life and death situations means that pedestrian life is at risk when equipment fails.
- AM-weather news radio
- Camera, extra movies/memory cards
- Mobile
- Beacon personal-locator or other emergency seeker beacon, especially important in the avalanche area
- Emergency channel scanners
- Flashlight, red filter saves night vision, but reduces sight and signal visibility; bring a spare ball.
- Global Positioning System (GPS), a light but powerful and waterproof model with long battery life, memory for topographic maps, basic map capabilities (so pedestrians can drive onto the trail) plus the ability to store notes. It is not used as a primary navigation tool (because some of their instructions are read), but when a pedestrian can only see a few feet, GPS can help. If conditions are bad, recreational pedestrians can use them to take shelter, instead of using them to get into worse conditions, farther from aid, and risk failing.
- The laser pointer for signaling but can cause eye damage â â¬
- Spotlight
- VHF radio: airband communication-emergency aircraft, amateur radio/ham, FM radio (news), marine radio band to talk to the ship
- Walkie talkies or citizen band radio
- UV water purifier: purifying water using UV-laser light, can double as a flashlight
Additional tools
- Binoculars, edged â ⬠<â â¬
- Thick snow: trekking pole with basket or ski pole, snow shoe, cross-country sky, snow shovel, snow
- Ice: Cleats traction with anti-slip soles, crampons, sleep shoes (cork)
- Forests: machetes, hammocks, extra punctures, and mosquito repellent
- Notepad and stationery to leave notes, take notes, draw, write journals
- Rainproof cover for backpack
- Sewing equipment: scissors can be in multi-tool, place to store threaded needles, dental floss and fishing line can be duplicated as yarn, Kevlar yarn, safety pins and fishing latches, replacement for key or essential fasteners.
- Umbrella: useful for hiking in the rain or in the sun; this can be used to help build small structures
- Stability walking and uphill attempts: a stick or two sticks, a trekking pole, a ski pole
- Waterproofing equipment
- Parka water bottles are good for suspending freezing or when wet, provide cooling
- Wild foods if legal or appropriate: field guide for plants, trap hunting tools: traps, aroma baits, hunting weapons, catapults.
