Thank you for sharing your thoughts so clearly and efficiently. I agree with most (though I hammock-hike, so details change), and always learn from the experience of others. I’m 69 now, so some degree of comfort is important to continue enjoying the woods. And my old knees couldn’t descend in New Hampshire’s White Mountains without the poles. Thank you again. Be safe, and enjoy the forest.
Great video. I agree with all your items. Hiking poles are essential if you want to avoid injury. They also help to keep your balance particularly when carrying a full pack by putting some weight out front. I also have a water bottle holder and phone pouch on my shoulder straps as it keeps essential gear handy and I also carry a sit pad. I usually carry 2 pots for the same reason you do. To get more out of hiking, I also carry binoculars to look at wildlife, trees etc and to help with navigation when the GPS stuffs up. Hope your blisters healed up quickly. Regards Gerry

Cheers Gerry! Binoculars are a great idea, I like that. Blisters healed up nicely, thank you!
