I have bug spray, sunscreen, backpack, water bottle, clothes, first aid kit, walking pole, and rain poncho. What I need is a compass, bear spray, whistle, and jackknife.
Mind you, where I will be hiking has footpaths, maybe even sidewalks. I may not be wilderness hiking, but I will be wilderness ready. Besides, weight when walking is good exercise. 😎
Footwear. I buy new to me on Poshmark by setting a maximum price for a watch and wait that can take months before I buy. I began sandal hunting in late February early March. To my surprise, and delight, I found a pair of Keen hiking sandals, perfect fit, super comfortable and within the set budget.
A compass is the next purchase. I will by a new one.
So, it is beginning to feel like summer to me. What is next requires reading and researching locations. If I really really want to immerse myself in an outdoor experience, then I can pitch a tent in the backyard. 🤣
