I just bring all 10 essentials with me every time I day hike personally. Even as a moderately experienced backpacker, I don't take my chances with nature no matter how small my trip. I always tell myself that if something happened to me in nature, I'd rather make it back with an incredible story than be a statistic that dissuades people from enjoying nature.

@tombprospectorvulcan6440 Месяц назад

Dude where are you hiking?

@sway_onthetrail Месяц назад

@@tombprospectorvulcan6440 All over the place. Even 1 year later I stand by this. There is no valid argument against not carrying all 10 essentials on most, if not every hike.

@stephenbesch5331 Год назад

Great list! The only thing I would add would be a reliable way of starting a fire, even if it's just a bic lighter in your pocket. If you don't make it back to your car for any reason and end up spending the night out unexpectedly, a fire can turn a potentially life threatening scenario into nothing more than an inconvenience. Cheap, compact, and light - it's a no-brainer.

@jimbort_de_breces 3 месяца назад

A whistle for effective signaling for help. Yelling takes a lot of energy and one may be too weak or injured to be heard. Also a whistle can be heard at greater distances

@simplepyeman Год назад

Sounds pretty much like scout essentials for a hike: Cub scouts - 6 essentials 1. First Aid Kit 2. Water Bottle 3. Flashlight 4. Trail Food 5. Sun Protection (I usually amend this to weather protection) 6. Whistle Scouts BSA - 10 Essentials 1. Map and Compass 2. Sun Protection 3. Extra Clothing 4. Flashlight 5. First-Aid Kit 6. Matches and Fire-starters 7. Pocketknife 8. Trail Food 9. Water Bottle 10. Rain Gear

@gordontyree4308 7 месяцев назад

Yep! The Boy Scouts have it right! BE PREPARED!!

@PwnageFury Месяц назад

This is a great list. I just did a short 2 mile loop in a local refuge and still brought - water, jacket, bandaids, my phone and a bar. Years ago a good friend who fell and broke her ankle really badly just walking her dog near home. She had not brought her cell phone and had to crawl out of the wooded area to flag down a passing car for help. A trip does not need to be long or far for things to go sideways.

@rawnwild Год назад

“Day hiking is a gateway drug to happiness”, amen to that. Nothing is better than either going for a nice hike and enjoying the scenery or scrambling down a hill while having an absolute blast.

@ericbain507 Год назад

Valid! A battery pac and bic lighter always make my list as well. I do typically carry a "space blanket" as they are light and take up little room, as long as people are aware of the short comings of these items and know how to use them, then I think they too are valid. 😊

@douglasconrad8969 Год назад

Although i'd love to through hike for 6 months it is day hikes that actually happen. Thanks for covering "doable" stuff!

@platesweightspeaks Год назад

I take a 28L pack day hiking because I am a sucker for my dog, and don't make him carry his own water or jacket 😂 I also go on some extended day hikes, and need room for lunch and snacks! And in case I get lost I have a tarp and a travel sized rumpl. But the pack has a trampoline back and its amazing!!

@R-Barchetta Год назад

I started carrying a backpack and most of the items you listed after a couple mile stroll unexpectedly turned into an all day adventure. Tons of switchbacks, lots of elevation gain, no shelter when surprise rain came, no insulation when the temp dropped, no extra water (only 16 oz) and no snacks. It sucked and I never wanted to feel lime that again. Now I carry a pack with water, snacks, a jacket, and first-aid kit at the minimum, and have a few day packs ranging fron 12L through 35L and I'll choose & pack depending on where & when I'm going. Also wanted to mention that I lived in a very hot desert environment (like 115-120 or more for 3-4 months) and learned to cover up when it's hot. It seems counterintuitive, but you actually stay cooler in long, loose, and light layers because your sweat doesn't immediately evaporate.

@dwightWSmith73 9 месяцев назад

I was on the Alpine Rescue Team back in the early 70s. We were taught about the ten essentials which if I recall correctly, came from the book, "Mountaineering: The Freedom of the Hills". I live very close to Rocky Mountain National Park and I'm stunned by the countless day hikers out there with nothing more than sneakers and a water bottle.

@user-zw3kw4fs5u 9 месяцев назад

I'm from the UK and read this book. fab read.

@KirstenBayes Год назад

Always good to see something for us ordinary day hikers! I'm aware that most search and rescues are caused by people either losing the trail or falling off it; most deaths are caused by exposure; and if you are not found within 48 hours the casualty rate rises sharply. So, carrying stuff that helps reduce this is wise but there's definitely a balance. I tend to carry a compass with a mirror, and an orange drum liner, which hit a bunch of these needs (the mirror and orangeness are signalling thingies), and come in at around a pound (400g) total. I also always have the gear to make a cup of tea but that is just being British.

@johncheeseman6764 Год назад

@lanecountybigfooters5716 Год назад

REI 10 and the Bushcraft 10 will see you through pretty much anything. I carry them all. It's earthquake country here, and I've been through the Northridge quake in LA. Better to carry a bit too much than too little if you get stuck out there. Always carry extra stuff in your vehicle, too.

@alexwilliams6022 4 месяца назад

You don't know you need a survival bag until you need it. I needed one and didn't have one luckily made it through the night and now never leave for a hike without one. Good list though mate 👍🏼

@Jarrych83 Год назад

I like my 35l pack for dayhikes, but I like to bring stuff to cook lunch/make warm drinks, and always have a small camera with a few lenses. Added to the backup jacket/accessories, bathroom tools, and the rest of the big 10, and it definitely adds up. But, if I go lighter for a few hours, guaranteed sun, what have you, the pack isn't too big or heavy as to be awkward and wobbly. But, your video is a great overview of the 10 essentials from a practical starting point.

@iceman857 Год назад

I keep most of my 10 essentials in my day pack so I don't have to think much about what I put in it. I do think it's worth bringing a shelter, TBH. You 'll only need to use it once to find the value. I think that I have had the same SOL emergency bivvy that I bought for $20 be in my pack for at least 7 years. I used it once in a situation where I was helping other hikers look for a lost companion, and found it very valuable that day/night!

Год назад

Yeah, you need it when you don’t have it. Good call on the bivy.

@Olyphoto7 Год назад

The most important thing you don’t need to bring is telling one or more people where you’re going, how long you plan to be there and when to expect you will come back. It’s really hard to get rescued if nobody knows where you are. I always carry the essentials including a few methods of starting a fire. Be safe out there, come home relaxed with some nice pictures and maybe some new stories.

@maxviking3210 Год назад

Good video, I always use maps and compass and use phone as a back up or to check if I am doing right. My philosophybehind that is that it is easier to take out the phone fully chargedand use an app when things goes wrong then the other way around. Start using a paper Map and a compass can be a bit difficult and maybe you forgoten how to use it when you need it the most.. so to make sure I am familiar with those tools I want to use them even on very easy trips.. a good way to learn how to use them. :)

@strangerous1313 Год назад

Talk about a timely video.....while you were featuring your Coulee 20, the FedEx guy delivered mine! Same color you show here. I found that my 30L pack was just too much pack for short dayhikes, and decided to try a smaller one. I think it will work out fine. I live in Arizona, where the need for sun protection and lots of water is a given, and I can bring enough for my dog as well. I would like to see you do a video for desert hiking in the near future.....it's getting hot!

@Patrickjohnphotography Год назад

Great video. Living in a big city is similar to day hiking :) I carry all of that in my daily bag AND I found a $20+ raincoat at Mountian warehouse that comes in a little bag. This has saved my bacon over the past 3 years 100's of times. If I go hiking , this raincoat always comes with me. if you are starting out, consider their raincoats. Well worth it.

@gordontyree4308 7 месяцев назад

First time viewer here…I subbed! Really well done video and very informative. My day hike philosophy is simple….as an old Boy Scout and USAF veteran, “BE PREPARED!” has always been my mantra! With that in mind, i always include survival gear as part of my load out, usually following the 10 c’s of survivability. This applies to any trail I hike no matter the length. My survival kit is very basic, light and takes up very little room in the pack. That being said….a few thoughts. Solo day hiking is great fun, but consider taking along a companion. Much safer and if something does happen, ie., injury , etc., there is someone there to help you. I also recommend as part of the first aid kit, a 2-3 inch ace wrap if not included in the FAK. An elastic wrap can be a real lifesaver if a twisted ankle occurs and the wrap is multi-functional! Last but not least, and not meaning to injure anyone’s sensitivities….I carry both pepper spray and handgun on every trail I hike. I realize this is a very personal choice and that’s fine, but it fits very well into my “BE PREPARED” personal philosophy. Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it! My day hikes are more enjoyable knowing I’m prepared for any situation I might encounter on the trail. Well, that’s my two cents worth! Thanks for the video and keep them coming!

@bmwman63 Год назад

Enjoyed the video sir. I'm old school and grew up with map and compass navigation. But, I'm finding physical maps are getting harder to find. Lately I've been taking a screenshot of my OnX and printing it . I guess my goto lately is, primary=OnX, Secondary Garmin Watch, and shit hits the fan = a 4 in one,(whistle, magnifying glass, compass, something else I can't remember), and a physical, printed out, map.. Keep making um and I'll keep watching um Sir.

@richarddaugherty8583 6 месяцев назад

I'm 67 and a solo hiker so I always bring enough that I could spend an uncomfortable night out if I turn my ankle or something happens. It's really not about the likelihood of needing any particular item, it's about what it would mean if I need it and don't have it. In other words, it's not about the odds; it's about the stakes! I carry more than most folks do for sure, but also, at my age, the strength training is not wasted! I carry more in the winter so I use my backpacking backpack so the bulky stuff will fit, but still keep the weight down. My goal is to still be out hiking when I'm 80!

I navigate with my Garmin watch. It has battery for more than a week while gps in use, it has all the topographic maps on it, my phone is my secondary way/backup for navigation. I do use my phone if I want to see far ahead on the trail, to see what still coming during the hike. Because for that the watch is too small. But in general it's very hard to get lost if you have a Garmin watch with topo maps on it and a full battery.

11:40 Generally it's good to have tools with more than one use so I always carry a Victorinox knife (I have several different ones) with appropriate tools on them. I would, however, never go without a belt knife (camp knife?) for more serious work. My choice is the Cold Steel SRK San Mai III version. For day hike in known territory I might dispense with the SRK, but I'd sort of feel naked without it and it's not much hassle, so I would probably take it.

I have been injured on the trail in the past and because I have the local rangers # in my phone, I had them on the trail helping me in less than an hour. Plan your hike and hike your plan. I'm sure you could do an entire video for new hikers on preparation and planning that could include things like bringing friends that know the area or joining a local hiking club for support.

A piece of paper with your intended route and estimated time of return left with a responsible party. Any time that you venture into a wilderness area, unexpected things can happen, irregardless if it’s your first trip into the woods or your thousanth. No one who has to be rescued by search and rescue ever expects that it will happen to them, but then it does. Just ask Dan Becker.

i am all for honesty, but i dont get WHY people feel the NEED to advertise so much that they never bring a space blanket. it is super important, its under 20$, if you hurt yourself badly, lying on the group is the best way to hypothermia, it can takes hours for someone to get to you. it is not an optionnal item like a compas. i have a backup battery for my phone and use hiking aps to navigate if i get lost. but a blanket is one of those items you never need until you NEEEDDDD opne and it can save you. never without it , and my min first aid kit and some advil. a water filter and headlamp are other non négociables.

@vr2186 Год назад

Because they don't bring it, why lie and say they do. I don't see the point. If you have rain protection and extra clothing and all that you actually need.

I have them all and MR has a great all around balance between weight and durability. Example, Osprey’s are real nice and light, good looking too, but they dont last like a MR, on the other side Vanquest/Maxpedition/GoRuck are super durable but also heavy - Mystery Ranch is right in the middle and has a fantastic harness/yoke design. A Coulee is easily the best hiking money you’ll spend besides good shoes.
