Does anyone have a checklist for things to bring hiking? I mean like 6+ days.
I already know water, food (granola bars or trail mix), bug spray and sun screen. But I want to make sure I don't forget something I'll need 4 hours in

m8, if you need a complete list of items to take on a hike, you probably need some more experience before you go on a week-long trip. Try some smaller trips, overnighters, 3 days, etc. You'll learn through trial and error what you need and don't need. Then, after you know the basics, come back here and ask for some help with the advanced stuff. I mean, you're gonna live off granola bars for a week? How do you plan on purifying water? Do you know how many calories you need each day when you're hiking? What's your climate? etc.

Two liters is the recommendation even if you sit at the office.

If you move a lot, especially in a hot climate, you might want to carry more in case you get thirsty.

Even though it's only 6 hours, bring a knife, a lighter, and some cordage, as well as a cell phone and a spare, fully charged battery, both in a waterproof container (like a double ziplock in a secure pocket). You could get lost or get hurt and end up stuck out there for a while, so it's always good to have those basic survival tools.

That's it, and there were lots of things I should have thrown out to make weight. If you have a good solid hatchet you don't need a machete or saw or even a knife aside from a teeny tiny pocket knife for the really fine work. Wash your clothes and bring less of them. Save heavier clothes for working at camp and sleeping rather than dirtying up the nice light ones. Tents are-

Oh 6 hours. Then just a bottle of water and a granola bar.

Make that "have access to a gallon of water" then.

Main idea being that that gallon goes in your mouth that day, no matter where you get it from.

On topic though, a FUCKLOAD of water, and a compass. BRING A FUCKING COMPASS. And a second pair of socks. And a baggy or two if you like to keep your stuff clean. Also, a rain jacket even if it's hot as fuck and clear as fuck, just in case. What if you get lost and are stuck /out/ overnight? What if it suddenly starts raining when you are a few hours hike from your car?

Clif bars. Can't beat them for going /out/. Conveniently packed, easy to hold by the wrapper (don't have to give a fuck if your hands are dirty), high energy, delicious, compact calories/easy to stuff a lot in a sack, durable package that won't rip like a bag of trail mix.
