Do I need to take gear for a day hike? What gear should I bring for my hike? What is the right hiking gear for dogs? The answer of what gear to bring on a day hike will depend on personal preference, local conditions, as well as experience. I will show you everything I take on my day hikes and talk about why I bring each of those items. I'll also show you items I take depending on different conditions. Different hikers will have different approaches to what the right gear for day hikes is, but my philosophy is that it's better to be prepared. I would love to know what gear you take for your day hikes, or if you think there is something I'm leaving out of my gear loadout that you think should be there!
