Best day hike gear list 🥾🥾 essentials for Tongariro Crossing and more

Описание: My best day hike gear list 🥾🥾 for Tongariro Crossing and more. All the essentials you need for your own big day out! Heading out for a day hike can be a great experience on its own as well as good training if you are planning an overnight or multi night trip as you start to get used to carrying a load and packing and unpacking and using your equipment.

As a teenager and right before my first backpacking trip, I remember seeing people with backpacks and being intensely curious as to what they took on their travels.

I was about to head away overseas and was still trying to figure it all out for myself. At that time i didn’t know anyone who was a backpacker and there wasn’t the easy access to online information like there is now.

For me, it was a case of very much experimental trial and error and I remember my goal being to keep the weight under 20 kilos so I’d not have to pay excess weight when flying! I shudder now at the thought of carrying that kind of weight but back then it was normal for me!

It’s not necessary to go out and buy special equipment just because you want to go on a day hike, use whatever you already have at home or can borrow off a friend.

Thanks for visiting my channel, my mission is to inspire and motivate others to spend time in nature and reconnect with the outdoors, wherever that might be and at whatever level they are comfortable with.

The best things in life happen when we're outside of our comfort zone and until we push our boundaries, we'll never know what we like or what we're capable of. Independent and self-supported travel is for all of us however sometimes knowing where to start, how to prepare or what to expect can be a little overwhelming. I'm here to help and encourage you on your way.
