Rain jackets, rain suits or a poncho can make a rainy day better. Carrying an extra pair of socks can help those wet feet. Consider bringing a change of clothes for after the hike. If you are sweaty, wet or dirty, fresh clothes before starting home feel great. Note that natural water sources in the mountains are not safe.
Water needs to be purified with chemicals or a water filter.
A small backpack such as a bookbag or a fanny pack can be used to carry your needs for a day hike. Ideas for speakers at the monthly meetings are always welcome. We are always looking for new places to hike or camp and need people to lead activities. If you have other outdoor activities that you would like to share, discuss it with the activity chairman.
