Overnight Packing List

Note: This list contains the essentials required for a day hike, but can vary depending on the type(s) of hike one may be taking part in (for example: hiking in snowy terrain may require different baskets to be attached to the trekking poles). With that said, this list is customizable, feel free to bring what you please as long as you feel safe adventuring. Always let someone know where you are and when you are expected to be back!
