What do you need to know before hiking?

What do you need to know before hiking?
  1. Make a plan. The best way to make your hike enjoyable is to plan ahead. On the trail, you’ll want to make smart choices. Find a shaded hike where there are plenty of tree cover; near a body of water like the ocean or lake is even better because it will be a bit cooler. If you choose a hike with minimal shade, a hat is your next best option. 
  2. Find your partner. Share your plans. Never hike alone. You need to have a partner in case you have an accident. If you hike alone, tell people what trail head you're starting at and what time you'll return — especially if hiking alone — so a friend knows where to send help if you're not back on time.
  3. Wearing&Weather. Wear a quick-drying, performance-fabric base layer that won't chafe. Top it with a merino wool long-sleeve shirt; it's breathable and warm even when wet, so you'll be OK if it rains. Always look at the weather forecast ahead of time and wear layers that you can remove as you’re hiking. Choose a outdoor shoulder bag to hold your outdoor life clothing. Zipper strap backpack is more convenient.
