If you live in Washington, don’t take off into the mountains without the Green Trails Map of the area. It can get you to the trail, keep you on it, and teach you to identify the landmarks around you and your position. I have a stack of them, and I’ll often pick a trail or peak off one of them at random to explore. A great way to study an area before heading out. For a compass I have the Silva Ranger. On most outings I find the compass to be more of a toy than a necessity but I’d also never want to get lost without one.
You’re not always hiking and backpacking, as much as you wish you were. What’s in the bag – your day bag – the one that gets you from home to work to the trail, or from kids to soccer to weekend getaway, that makes it easy to move from here to there. Here’s another in our series from SBM contributors that answers the question. So what’s in your day bag?
I keep my kit small and light; that way, there is no excuse not to bring it. Consequently, my kit goes with me on all of my outdoor adventures, from mountain bike rides, to overnight trips, and even mountain rescue operations.
I usually carry everything in my Osprey Mira 34 – it’s big enough to handle it all and keep it organized with plenty of pockets. Plus, it’s super comfortable to wear all day long!
