9 best to worst items to take hiking, according to an outdoor expert

A couple hiking through the woods.

There’s no better way to explore the great outdoors than on foot, with the wind in your hair and the sun shining down on your face. Not to mention, being outdoors is a great way to clear the mind and leave us feeling happier. But, before you head out the door there are a few things you need to do before your hike and one of those is pack some trusty supplies. After all, it wouldn’t be a successful hike without some.

Overpacking is easier said than done when it comes to hiking, but you’re only going to make your backpack heavy, which will lead to an uncomfortable (and more strenuous) hike. And who wants that? You therefore need to prioritise what’s essential and what’s not for your outdoor adventure.
