@quietmileslife: Four things I never hit the trails without 🥾 Bear spray, an air horn, my SOS device, and trekking poles/tactical hiking stick. Hopefully I won’t need most of the safety gear, but I’d rather have it with me. What’s one thing you never hit the trail without? #HikingEssentials #HikingSafety #HikingGear #WomenWhoHike
Thank you. I’m turning 50 in January and this is my goal for my birthday. I wanna go on my first hike ever and by myself. So I will take all the suggestions on what a newbie needs. I wanna do grandfather Mountain in North Carolina.

Which pack is that? Love it! Side note, an air horn saved my group from some angry mountain goats one year and I will always carry an air horn now.

Please don’t use bear spray unless you’re in grizzly country black bears are less harmful than dogs

Bear spray needs to be clipped to your waist belt. You don’t have time to reach for it when you startle a momma bear with cubs. I don’t even think shoulder strap gives you adequate time to fiddle with it. Signed, Colorado GenX hiker
