What to Pack for a Weekend Hiking Trip

Heading out for a weekend hike? Packing smart can make the difference between a smooth adventure and a frustrating trip. At Escape Gear Pro, we recommend starting with the essentials: a quality backpack, layered clothing, and waterproof boots.

Your pack should include a sleeping bag suited to the forecast, a compact tent or shelter, and lightweight cookware if you’ll be preparing meals. Don’t forget high-protein snacks, a first aid kit, and a water filtration device or tablets.

Bonus tip: Always bring more socks than you think you’ll need! And pack items in dry bags or zip-seal bags to protect them from unexpected rain. With the right gear, you’ll feel confident and prepared for anything nature throws your way.
