Items I keep in my hiking bag

Compass & Map in addition to my tech stuff. Know how to use it.

Updated often - don't want to have expired stuff in there.

Wet socks are the worst.

Weather changes instantly where I hike, always better to be prepared.

Plus extra in case my hike takes longer than expected or there's an emergency.

Depending on the state I'm hiking in, I usually have a hike safe card for the area.

If it's a long hike, possibly an extra headlamp.

It's not the most fancy knife, but it's wicked sharp and does what it needs.

Fire, bivy, etc..
