Gear
Whether going on a short hike or an extended one, the gear you carry is super important. I've compiled a list of essential items for any occasion.
I hate drinking out of plastic water bottles, so glass is the only way to go for me. These bottles not only look great but they have protective sleeves to ensure your bottle doesn't get broken!

The last thing you want when walking/hiking is to feel uncomfortable. I live in New Brunswick, Canada where we experience 4 seasons a day, so layering clothing is totally essential!
I burn easily so I have to wear a hat to cover my face when I'm outdoors for extended periods. I love a good trucker hat, as the shape is perfect for my pumpkin!
