The "10 essentials" are crucial for every hiker, ensuring preparedness for unexpected situations.
1. **Navigation Tools**: Always carry a map and compass. GPS and apps are helpful but can fail.
2. **Sun Protection**: Sunglasses, sunscreen, and protective clothing are essential to prevent sunburn and eye damage.
3. **Insulation**: Pack extra clothing like a fleece or rain jacket to stay warm and dry.
4. **Illumination**: A headlamp or flashlight with extra batteries ensures you can navigate in the dark.
5. **First-Aid Supplies**: A basic kit with bandages, antiseptics, and personal meds is essential.
6. **Fire**: Waterproof matches, lighters, or fire starters are crucial for warmth and cooking.
7. **Repair Kit and Tools**: A multi-tool or knife and duct tape can fix gear issues.
8. **Nutrition**: Carry extra food like energy bars or nuts to maintain energy.
9. **Hydration**: Bring extra water and know how to purify natural sources.
10. **Emergency Shelter**: A lightweight tarp or bivvy sack can protect you overnight.
These items enhance safety and preparedness on any hike.
