What's In My Day Hike Pack + Free Checklist

[@ronaldrose7593]

Hello again, my outdoors friend. I usually carry one bear 🐻 spray on a military style waist belt. In the last five years I've only seen one Bear 🐻, two mountain lions 🦁 and a few coyotes, but no Bigfoot. I also carry one 10,000 MAH phone charger. I enjoyed your video. Stay safe out there. 😊

My trail is in the woods so it is technically private but I have seen a little jeep so me and my 4 dogs had to go up a mountain and take a break till they left and I bring a water bowl for my dogs and I bring 8 water bottles and snacks and bear spray I have seen a 2 beer and no mountain lions but I have seen a few coyotes yall stay safe and stay alive

[@ronaldrose7593]

Hello my outdoors friend, thank you for sharing this informative video. Stay safe out there. 😊

[@veaziemi]

Great list! I also bring an adventure journal if it's a shorter distance. Thanks for calling out leave no trace ethics! If you don't bury it, trust me, someone's dog will find it 😪 On top of what you showed, i always bring: - an extra pair of socks - minimalist first aid kit - ultralight Styrofoam pad (collapsible) - usually 1 trekking pole, mostly used as a sword in case things get real 😅

[@callie_waldschmidt]

Thanks Michael! My dog will definitely be the one finding it, that's for sure! Bringing a trekking pole for sword use is awesome 😂creative and multifunctional. I like it!

[@edleifer6719]

how often have you used that sword???

[@alexischouery]

I love to bring hydration tablets like Nuun and camp shoes!

[@NJDDChristianDance]

BlackieDog 86 - hey Alexis does that sort of obnoxious forwardness work on you (or like 99% of women)? Just asking... I have a union meeting for the United A-Holes of America coming up and I would like to document this incident for our research arm??

[@callie_waldschmidt]

Great ideas! There's nothing like getting to the top of a mountain and sliding into some flip flops!

[@backrowbrighton]

Hi from the UK. Really well thought out kit which covers all bases. A tiny observation, I would add some type of waterproof. The latter would make your set up even better than it is.

[@ronaldrose7593]

Hello 👋 my outdoors friend, greetings from Northern California. You're certainly well organized. You're prepared for just about any emergency. Take good care of yourself. Stay safe out there. 🤗

[@edleifer6719]

That is an awesome starting point you have put together, throw in a Bic lighter and a quality fixed blade and you are good to go.

[@cindywaldschmidt4879]

Great ideas & I will definitely be printing off your checklist to keep for future hikes!

[@callie_waldschmidt]

Glad you like the list 😄

[@zonacamphike2904]

You are super prepared. This is great info for beginners. Great video!

[@ThaGamingLlama]

Love to see that you're keeping up with KZbin. Excited to watch you blow up on this platform!

[@callie_waldschmidt]

Awh shucks! Thanks ☺

[@SHINE88]

Toilet paper is key! That and water and I'm ready for anything! Good video, thanks.

[@callie_waldschmidt]

You got that right! Keeping it simple is great if you know you can be safe. Thanks for watching!

[@redoak3809]

Nice video! Here are some thoughts on kit... I would upgrade your knife. Maybe carry a multi-tool and a fixed blade knife such as the Leatherman OHT or Swiss Army One-Handed Trekker (I would want one with a saw, awl, and can opener) and maybe a Mora Companion or a Condor Terrasaur. My favorite folding knife is the Kershaw Blur. You can find a GSI cup that your water bottle will nest in. That would give you a cup for food and additionally something to boil water in if needed. Depending on where you go and regulations it is nice to make some warm green tea or perhaps coffee. I like to bring a stove. I have many choices but find a small canister stove and a small canister ideal. Though it's not the smallest and lightest, I like the Coleman Peak 1 stove. Additionally, I would bring an emergency whistle, especially when alone. Besides matches, I would bring a couple of BIC lighters and I like to carry a small ferro rod and some additional tinder. A piece of fatwood might be nice. I would carry a spare set of batteries for my headlamp as well. I am also a fan of bringing a little cordage on the trip such as paracord or #36 bankline. You can wrap some duct tape around your lighter to use as tinder as well. I like the Gorilla Tape brand. It can also be used as a bandage, for repare, etc. A small Mylar emergency blanket and a large 55 gallon drumliner garbage bag can also be useful in a pinch. I would probably carry some additional duct tape. You can always find something to wrap it around. I would probably toss in a plastic spork just in case I wanted to bring along some soup or something. And, I really like the Grayl water bottle press filters which can double as a second water bottle. I would carry a compass. I like the Suunto MC-2 Compass. I'd bring some paper and pen/pencil with me as well and some alcohol wipes. Lastly, I might bring a smaller garbage for trash on the trail and I don't go anywhere without a beanie.

Dude, way overkill, lmao.

Perfect Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance

[@Dakotahayen]

I throw in a hammock for a break

[@mtbboy1993]

make sure to know about where you are hiking, make sure to not go into a military zone, so check the maps before hiking.

[@GrumpyGrunt]

You gotta love a bunch of people, pollution and noise when you're out in the wilderness. 😒 Glad to see you're getting out, though. Stay well.

[@callie_waldschmidt]

It was my own fault for going somewhere that's easy to access. I've learned my lesson! 😄

[@mtbboy1993]

maps won't work well where I live, cus some of the areas changed, and anyway a map does not show if trails are actually possible to go on, some here are overgrown, just one or two of those, but still it can happen elsewhere, and need an chainsaw to get through. but no solution will work perfectly not being able to go though a trail might happen anywhere even if looking at trailforks, not possible to be 100% up to date on all trails. so having an alternative route planned is a good idea. but sometimes you just have to turn back. but probably depends a lot on where you hike or ride. I use my phone for map if I am in a new to me area. for those that want to hike in snow, and ice, you need studded soles for the shoes or boots, it's an must have in winter here in Norway anyway, but if hiking in deep snow you need snowshoes. I don't need that where I live. so that's actually snow shoeing I always carry a battery bank, to charge my phone. I haven't done hiking since I was a kid. but I do some hike a bike.

[@callie_waldschmidt]

Great tips! Thanks Johannes!

[@旮旯北京]

Probably you need a companion to hike through the woods, for your personal safty.

[@RockTheParkOfficial]

Could be a dog as well, I think

[@RockTheParkOfficial]

@BlackieDog 86 cool cool

[@NJDDChristianDance]

Are you all personal friends...and I’m not in on the joke ?? - sorry if that is the case.

[@callie_waldschmidt]

A companion is always great but I wouldn't say it's a need if you can be safe!

[@RockTheParkOfficial]

@@NJDDChristianDance haha, just friends through YT

[@SophisticatedDogCat]

Good video, but I’m bringing wet wipes. Dry toilet paper isn’t enough to clean your behind.

[@vikkikumar2241]

Hi friend

[@HUFORIC]

2020 ... worst year ever... looks like you skipped most of it on this channel, maybe 2021 will be better! I moved into wilderness in March in solar powered RV and satellite internet, then all the chaos started so I stayed!

[@HUFORIC]

btw, never seen your videos until today even though I'm subbed to lots of Van Life ppl and Preppers, one of your vids popped up in my recommended vids section today...

[@TheRichb688]

no just any back is good your wrong right there

[@bearhug72]

She would NOT get along very well on some hikes I go on...LOL
