Things to Consider:

  • Please remember to always pack essential items such as appropriate identification, money, eyewear, change of clothing, hiking boots, swimsuit and medications in your carry on baggage in case your luggage is delayed.
  • Cotton is wonderful in warm weather.  However, once it becomes wet, it will drain your body heat.  Bring some synthetics such as Capilene, MTS and Thermax.
  • Always test your layers before a trip.  Your outer layer should fit easily over the inside ones without binding and bunching up.
  • Make sure boots are broken in.  Bring a blister kit for foot treatment.  Thin liner socks worn under regular hiking socks may minimize the risk of blisters.  The liner sock should be synthetic, not cotton.  Test your sock combination before you go on the trip.
  • Stuff sacks are great for sorting gear.  Use different sizes/colors to differentiate contents.
  • Be sure to bring lightweight and quick-drying fabrics so that they can easily dry in the afternoon sun or overnight.
