The first question we are often asked is where to hike in Georgia and South Carolina. The second is what to take on the trail. As with any sport, the right gear can make a major difference in how much you enjoy the wilderness experience. For starters, every hiker should have the “Ten Essentialsâ€
a must-have on any out door jaunt, regardless of length of hike, is a whistle. After a couple of hours of screaming when you get lost, you will lose your voice. Remember, NEVER cry wolf!!
At the risk of being harrassed on this one …. my IPOD. I like to hike solo, jam a little while on the trail, and drowned out the animal noises as I fall asleep at night.
Always take some booze with me. Maybe not an essential to you, but it helps me sleep at night. It also makes the staring into the campfire a lot more entertaining.
I’m new into hiking, but have discovered a great great item. The camping Hammock. It weighs less than two pounds and its a dream. My favorite hiking experiences involve hiking in and finding a river or creek site to chill at with the 2 mutts for a day or two. Setting up the hammock and having a place to lay and read or sleep is unbeatable.
