Carry the 10 Essentials. Any time you leave sight of the trail head, be prepared to spend a night in the woods.
Baby Wipes: Pack it in, pack it out. Leave no trace.

Spot on advice! I always have a ziplock for the less then pleasant rubbish 😎

I also like those compressed cotton 'towels' that release with a little water. They're a looser weave than baby wipes, so fold them over for that particular use. But they're good for multiple things. I keep them in my first aid kit, and they're good for wiping down stuff without the baby wipe residue (wounds, cleaning your face, cooking gear, etc).

Great tip! I’m always amazed at how large they will expand to with just a little water

Thanks for the poop tip! I was genuinely wondering if I could pop a squat out there. Baby wipes are a killer suggestion

[@northwestwalking]

It’s typically an embarrassing question so most of us just don’t ask it.
Remember- leave no trace. Bring a ziplock for your wipes 😉
Happy hiking!

[@riversandcoffee]

@@northwestwalking That river is calling but I can't get there until next week... You'll have to post more videos in order to keep me entertained until then. ✌️

I would recommend that total newbies find a friend who is experienced and can help get them started. Second hand stores are a option to start collecting gear at a reasonable price.

Great advice! As a fellow frugal shopper I’m always excited to find a deal
