In this video we go through 5 simple steps to planning your next hike or backpacking trip. Whether this is your first hike or your 500th the same steps apply.
1) Determine where you want to hike - area or the trail
2) Determine when you want to hike - season, day or days of the week
3) Determine how long your hike is going to be - miles, days, a simple day hike or a multi day adventure
4) Determine the route you want to take - mapping apps, hiking apps and information
5) Prepare yourself - fitness, food, water, emergency plan
Based on how you answer questions1 through 5 will determine the type of gear you need to have and bring.
