3 things I wish I did sooner as a hiker 🥾 These have elevated the hiking experience and I can’t imagine hiking without these things now! While some may seem like common sense, I actually only started using these within the past 2 years 🫣 Do yourself a favor & make some changes to improve your hikes! 📌SAVE these hiking essentials: ✨@kulacloth - aka, a pee cloth 😅 I only bought this a year ago and it is game changing for when business calls outdoors ☝🏼Anti-microbial, light, & so convenient! ✨Backpack with waist straps - takes the weight off of your shoulders and lets you carry more (snacks, in my case) without worrying about discomfort ✨Hydration bladder - ensures I drink a lot more water because I can drink on the go instead of needing to stop to grab my water bottle or put it back. I have a 3L reservoir that I can fill up all the way, or just use part of for shorter hikes. Whats one thing you wish you started doing sooner? Stay tuned for part two! Here from reels?
