An amazing feeling to wake up early and hit the
trails. Starting the day with fresh air and
connecting to nature is great for the mind, body,
and soul. We've put together our top hiking hacks
to make sure your journey through the woods is
stress-free and enjoyable. Line Your Backpack A
simple trash bag will do. This is especially
helpful if you're carrying extra water or items
that may leak. If it begins to rain your items
will be safeguarded. Plus, it serves as a trash
bag if you don't hit stormy weather.
Win-win. Invest in Good Socks We prefer using
wool socks. Wool is temperature-regulating, so
wool socks are ideal for hot or cold
temperatures. Pack Band-Aids There is nothing
worse than developing a pesky blister. It throws
the entire hike off. Pack band-aids, even if you
don't think you will need them. You can also use
Duct Tapewhich can serve multiple
purposes. Protect Your Phone An easy and cheap
way to do this is to simply store your cell phone
in a plastic bag. This prevents damage in the
event the bag gets wet or if you must trek
through the water. Use A Prescription Bottle Old
plastic prescription serves as a great holder for
aspirin, Band-Aids, and antiseptic towels. It
also keeps the items dry.
Use Binder Clips

Binder clips are excellent and cheap tools to
hang dry items off your backpack (i.e., wet
socks, shirts, or bandanas). Plan Weather can
change in an instant. Always be sure that you are
packing for worst-case scenarios. There are many
camping gear items out there that pack up
compactly, including rain jackets and winter puff
jackets. Pack a warm merino wool blanket on the
outside of your pack. It won't take up much space
and can come in handy if the weather turns cold.
I always pack my navy-blue wool blanket, my olive
green wool blanket, or my gray wool blanket. The
dark color hides dirt, it's easy to clean and
shake out, and the dense weave keeps me warm at
the summit. For more information click here. Warm
