- First Aid Kit – A kit should include a few adhesive bandages, some moleskin (a sticky bandage that you can put over a blister to keep it from getting worse or rubbing), and a bandage or two.
- Filled water bottle Make sure it is big enough to carry water for you to drink through your whole hike and back. And make sure it is full when you start out! It is not safe to drink water you find along the trail.
- Flashlight Check your batteries to make sure they have plenty of juice. Your flashlight will be used only in an emergency, so save the batteries for times when you really need them!
- Trail food Trail mix or a granola bar provide quick energy when you need it.
- Sun Protection Sunscreen should be SPF 30 or greater. A hat is good to have, too!
- Whistle It's only for emergencies, but a whistle will last longer than your voice.
