this is a great guide for beginner hikers and seasoned thru-hikers to to reference when packing and planning for a hike. Is it perfect? No, but it is a great safety guide.

Excellent list! I typically carry a sandwich baggy full of lint as my fire starter. I live in NW Oregon and would love to meet up sometime. Have a great day!
I’ve heard of the dryer lint trick but I haven’t tried it yet. I just might have to do a load of laundry and give it a shot.
Thanks for the tip neighbor!
thanks for sharing. i spent some time in your state and your gear is a life savior. the weather is always changing.
The only consistency with Washington weather is that it’s always changing. I’ve developed a love hate relationship with the rain. 😎
Awesome tips. Fire one is so super important.
Not only an essential safety item but also critical if you need an emergency cup of coffee 😉
