I made this image a little while ago and (surprise!) it's already out of date in a few areas, but it was fun to lay out all the gear that makes up a normal short hike for me. I've tried to aim toward #ultralight but also not be dumb about, and I am kinda old so keeping some niceties like the chair make my. time out in the wilderness a lot more fun.
What do you all carry on a normal short hike?
Looks like a nice setup. How long have you been hiking with the umbrella, and how well is it working out? I don't see many of them out in the wild, but the people who use them seem to swear by them.
I’m in Florida and so a lot of hiking in the vast swaths of scrub land that have no shade, so it’s really useful to cut the exposure. I take it on pretty much every trip.
