Its very easy to forget that water is the most important piece of gear you can bring when hiking! Your exerting a lot of energy when hiking, and you need to remember to refuel the body. So its also good to remember to bring a snack of sorts! Now that we touched on the two most important things to bring while hiking, lets move on to the GEAR!!!!
No matter what the hike is, one always needs to be prepared and carry the basic gear. First, never forget to bring lots of water!!!
GEAR
BACKPACK
A pack to keep all your gear in, DUH!!! It helps keep your hands free for other activities, and allows you to carry more gear then you possibly could without a pack. Click the picture to buy a backpack.
BOOTS
If your going to be hiking, you need the right pair of shoes. A sprained ankle is a horrible way to have a hike end early. Hiking boots are comfortable yet sturdy, helping you keep traction and your footing as you go. Click the picture to get your pair! Although not completely necessary while out on the trail, a walking stick does make quite the companion. Its always good to have for some extra support on those steep or rocky trails. It's almost like have a third leg! Almost! Click the picture to purchase a walking stick. Although the trails listed on this website are very localized and well paved, it's always best to have a handheld GPS when out on the trails. You might get curious what lies over a ridge, or whats behind a tree, and its very easy to get curious and lose the trail! Keeping one of these bad boys by your side will help you circumnavigate any terrain, from Bucks County to BEYOND! Click the GPS to purchase one. Lets face it, somethings are just to hard to see with just the naked eye. Birds flying high, animals in the distance, it can just be plain hard to see. While not necessary on your hike, binoculars can indeed come in hand during certain situations. Always a nice companion to have, just in case! Click the binoculars to purchase a pair.
