>>1042087BACKGROUND: Hey /out/. I've got a few questions I was hoping someone could answer. So for the first time in my life I'm interested in spending time in nature, this is dude to my recent exposure and delving into some eastern philosophy and some poems. These monks and poets discuss nature a lot and come to the conclusion quite a bit that being one with nature is really important and I'd like to try that. Ive decided that hiking is probably my best bet at accomplishing this because I really enjoy my own bed and am not a fan of bugs at all. Sorry for the blog post but I felt I had to give some background.
QUESTION: My question is, is there anything I need if I just plan on hiking for a few hours other then some water? I don't plant on veering heavily off the trail so I don't think a lot of survival equipment is necessary. But you guys know more then me so I thought I'd ask. Thanks!
