I meant for the title to say, What Does your long dayhike pack consist of? ssh is good, I typoed
-I have a plasctic poncho
-plus actuall rain gear
-lockblade pocket knife
-swiss army knife or gerber tool.
-32 oz water bottle. 2 if it is windy or hot, or if there is not a refil on the way
-carbon water filter.
-If it is where there is rattle snakes I take a trail gun with snake shot. but it is only 2 pounds fully loaded.
-beef jerky, and mixed nuts.
-20 oz bottle of gatorade.
-extra socks
-fleece
-beenie, or ball cap if it is summer
-headlamp
-bee sting/ snake bite kit
My mini emergency kit in a water proof tube has. matches, lighter, first aid kit (it has all kinds of bandages and medicine, and creams), emergency blanket, small knife, fishing line and hook, water purification tablets, and some small peices of shredded rubber, and some dryer lint. mini maglight
I put it all in an osprey pack, and it ways about 20 pounds including the pack. It is designed for high altitude mountains. If you get stuck from a storm on a long day hike this pack will prevent you from getting hypothermia even if you have to spend the night out doors. If you get lost, you can survive pretty well with this stuff. It really isnt much to carry. hiking poles help alot too.
It is not uncommon for this to happen to pepole at all. Summer storms come in fast, They can bring snow and intense hail, and many people are unprepared and get hypothermia and die.
let me know if you have any questions about why I carry certain stuff.
