What to wear
Hiking, while a wonderful activity to enjoy in your spare time, can be intense and strenuous. When going on a hike it is important to wear the right clothes. Hiking pants are great for this sport because they have extra reinforcements around the knees and seat area which provide more protection from the terrain. The first thing you need to consider is what to wear. You will want clothes that are loose and lightweight. This prevents sweat from accumulating and making your clothes cling to your body. Choose warmer weather clothes for colder climates and cooler weather clothes for warmer climates.
How to eat on a day hike
As long as you avoid certain types of food, you can eat whatever you want. Breakfast should be light and high in protein, like eggs or nuts. Lunch should be high in carbs – crackers, granola bar or cereal are all good options. For dinner, bring at least one full meal’s worth of food with plenty of protein to avoid ravenous hunger later in the day. Eating blueberry hash during a hike can be difficult because of the lack of food places. The best thing to do is pack snacks before you set out on your journey. Bring some granola bars, nuts, or even some energy gels. You will get an energy boost when you need it most.
What to bring on a hike
Don’t forget to bring a map. You don’t want to get lost and spend all day trying to find your way back. Not sure if you should bring your compass? It might be helpful when you’re in gnarly terrain and the landmarks are not in sight. Don’t forget to pack extra clothes (just in case), and an opener for beer (because that’s why you’re hiking!) – In order to hike you will need a pack or back-pack
– You must also bring water and snacks and hash, some food that is high in protein, or drinks that contain glucose
