Preparing for a hike is like preparing for life. Start incrementally and gear yourself from the bottom up. Invest in good footwear that is durable, light and wicks moisture. Get a good hip pack for a first aid kit, map, water and a sandwich. Using poles works your upper body and increases your staying power. A broad-brimmed hat will protect your head and neck from the sun.

Begin with small adventures. Connect up with a hiking club if you’ve found hiking is a passion. You can travel the world and see some amazing sites as your skill develops.
