So, in this article I am going to tell you what to bring on a hike and what are the Hiking Essentials that you are going to need in your journey.Make sure you are taking these essentials with you.
The most important thing in hiking journey is your backpack. Because you need tocarry a lot of stuffs and if you don't have a good backpack. Remember your backpackshould be waterproof, durable, comfortable and big size. I have an article in my blog about backpack. You can read it if you want.
You have to choose your clothing based on weather. If you are hiking on summer you should buy summer friendly clothes for you and if you are hiking on winter you should buy something which will give you comfort in winter. Make sure you are getting for you appropriate clothes.

I have an article about best hiking shoes. This article will help you to select for you a good pair of hiking shoes.
Plenty of food
Well, you can't hike on a empty stomach. You are going to need plenty of food while hiking. Make sure you are talking with you protein based food which will be easy to carry like bars, jerky nuts, dry food, foods which are filled with carbohydrates and salt.
Plenty of water
Just like food, you are going to need water. You can survive without food for many days but you can't survive without water. Have plenty of water with you. When you run out of water fill your bottle when you have a chance. There will be plenty of place where you will find water. So don't miss that chance when you don't have water.
If you are going to hiking and you don't know the map or you don't know your destination then you will be in danger. So take a map and a compass or a GPS tracker device which will direct you to your destination. Don't go any places for hiking without maps and compass or GPS tracker device.
One of the most important stuff is first aid kit. Because safety comes first. Remember one thing, your safety is in your hand. If you are not aware of your safety you will be in danger. Specially, while you are hiking you will have to be very careful. Take first-aid kit with you. You are going to need this most.
To protect your eyes from sun you can take sunglasses and to protect your skin you can take sunscreen and sun protective clothes. It's very important to protect your eyes and skin from sun. Otherwise you will have to suffer after hiking.
You are going to need a shelter if you are hiking far away from home. So, you can take a tent with you. Because no one will be here to give you shelter. A good tent could be your shelter and make sure you are taking shelter in a safe place.
