A Minimalist Day-Hike Loadout

April 13, 2015 by Scott Witner 10 Comments

When it comes to a day hike, it’s just as important to be prepared as it is when backpacking or hunting. I often see people out for a day hike with only a disposable bottle of water shoved into a cargo pocket. When it comes to what I personally take on a hike, I like […]
