A small pack is the primary piece of gear for day hiking. You have several options for shorter hikes, from a simple bottle sling that frees your hands to a small daypack for snacks and your phone. For a longer outing, consider a 10- to 20-liter daypack that can hold those snacks and phone as well as extra layers, a first-aid kit and more. Learn more about choosing a daypack.
Note on trekking poles: Not just for mountaineers, trekking poles offer a number of advantages for everyday hikers across all terrains. Poles or a staff can increase your stability and efficiency; assist when navigating obstacles and feeling secure; and take some of the pressure off your legs and knees, giving you an upper-body workout. Like daypacks, you’ll want poles that suit your specific needs. Learn more about choosing and using trekking poles.
Clothing
First step: Check the forecast. For warm and sunny days, consider how much protection your clothing will provide against the sun’s ultraviolet rays while still keeping you cool. For rain and possible inclement weather, pack an extra layer or two beyond what you’re wearing. And don’t overlook being comfortable—this experience is all about movement, so consider what clothing helps you feel secure while you’re stepping, stretching and climbing. Learn more about choosing hiking clothing.
For gentle hikes on smooth or manicured trails, hiking shoes, hiking sandals or trail-running shoes may be sufficient. For treks on rocky and rugged trails, boots can provide more support and stability. That being said, your preferences may vary. Learn more about choosing hiking footwear.
You might not think you need to pack snacks for a 2-hour hike, but being prepared for anything is a hiker's key to happiness. Plus, snacks can be an excuse for a mindful break. For water, you can usually start with about 1 Liter per person per hour, but adjust the amount depending on length and intensity of the hike, weather conditions, your age, sweat rate and body type. Learn more about choosing energy food and how much to drink.
Navigation is one of the Ten Essentials. If you’re hiking relatively close to your front door, you may not want to carry navigational tools. If you’re at all unfamiliar with your surroundings, however, you’ll want to make sure you have at least one—or, ideally, two—ways to stay oriented. Note that smartphone-based apps might not work with poor or no cell service.
You never know when you might stumble and skin a knee or get lost in a rainstorm. Even when hiking on shorter treks or less challenging trails, make sure you’re carrying a first-aid kit or first-aid supplies* (see our First-Aid Checklist). If you’re not carrying emergency supplies, make sure you have some in your car.
Whenever you’re headed into the backcountry, always bring first-aid supplies with you in your pack. Here’s a full list of what you may want to carry.
周末娃们回家，大家一起去一个state park爬山。那里有个当地小有名气的瀑布。因为我们选的trail就四五迈的路，所以除了一个水瓶，基本空手。路上经过五六个老中男女，每人武装着登山包，手杖，登山靴，件件价格不菲的样子。听见他们说中文，我心里还赞了一句，现在老中锻炼的人多了，十几二十年前hiking一般碰不到老中的。而且个个武装到牙齿，估计是好手，爬那几个十几二十迈的路线的。
到了瀑布下，因为近来天干热，没有水就只剩瀑布下的石坡了。我们决定爬到坡顶看看。那个坡二三十米样子，还是挺陡的，所以我手脚并用小心翼翼地和娃们一起爬到最顶端下面比较大的一块岩石上。再往上很不好走挺吓人的，我们准备就算了。这时候几个穿着汗衫的老墨男的嘻嘻哈哈空手爬上来了，我的天，其中一个居然穿着人字拖。只见人字拖老兄蹭蹭蹭居然轻松爬到了最顶的石头! NND，我不服气啊，喊上娃们也颤颤巍巍地爬到了顶。
待到下来，看到之前的几个老中也到了。坐在瀑布前的bench上，大家纷纷从登山包里掏出食物，各种bar, 鸡蛋，点心，内容丰富地开吃，生怕亏了自己的样子。我们歇了一会，两个老中男吃完了，商量着也要去爬瀑布坡。他们拿着登山杖开始，刚到第一块石头上面就摇摇晃晃的随时要摔下来的样子。我和儿子彼此对看，都挺为他们担心的。想想要不要提醒一下还在吭哧吭哧吃东西的几个女的 (估计他们老婆在里头), 还是算了，别多管闲事让人家不高兴。
之后感慨，武装到牙齿的老中和人家汗衫人字拖老墨没法比爬山啊。不过老中们很会爱护自己，军粮和装备是一定要走在前面的
