My checklist for day hiking is the one posted by Tom Mangan. It’s a variation on the classic Mountaineering: The Freedom of the Hills list.
See both here – 10 essentials for day hiking
But DAVE ANDERSON posted an interesting alternative using this mnemonic: B-E – S-A-F-E
(B) Body temperature regulation and skin protection
(E) Emergency plan
(S) Sensibility – Probably the most important “essential” to pack for a day hike is something you already have with you – your brain.
(A) Active Route Finding – Don’t get lost in the first place.
(F) First-aid kit
(E) Extended Stay – What happens when the best laid plans go array? Carry some extra things to deal with adversity

Hmmm. Lets make sure that the crooks know that they have at least 7 hours to break into my car?
Hmmm. Good point.
Interesting mnemonic by Dave Anderson. Quite handy when prepping for a hike.
That’s what i was looking for ! I’m not a really good hiker 🙂
