Hiking Essentials for Minimalists

If you've been hiking for long you've likely heard of the famous "Ten Essentials" - which is a list of gear items you should always have with you when hiking (there are several and they do not all agree). Here I go into a minimalist gear setup that I can take with me by itself or toss into any pack to be sure I have what I need even if I am in a hurry. 0:00 The Ten Essentials 1:04 Essentials Bag 1:45 Clothes / Food? 2:05 Navigation 2:32 Shelter 2:51 Rain Gear 3:11 Illumination 3:42 Knife 3:58 Safety (Whistle) 4:09 Combustion 4:31 Bug Protection 4:42 Repairs 4:58 Medical 5:23 Water 5:39 Sunscreen 5:43 Pack / Backpack 6:33 Caution ----- LINKS FROM THIS VIDEO ----- (Some of these may be affiliate links help the channel financially at no cost to you.
