>>508217too many boyscouts always being overprepared in this thread thats for sure,
how long is your hike OP? the more you bring the more amateurish you seem.
for most day trips(im assuming 2-4 hours of hiking in moderate conditions) bring water and maybe a clif bar or some nut/raisin mix. this depends on your physical condition though, the more out of shape you are the more nutrients youll need. so if youre a fat lazy fuck eat a nice meal before you go.
wear weather appropriate shit, you dont need first aid kits lighters and flashlights for an afternoon hike for fucks sakes.
even when i go on weeklong trips i only bring a small ziplock with a few bandaids and a tube of polysporing with a few alcohol swabs.
