Hiking Gear?
What are the basic things I need to go on a 1-2 hour hike in the woods? ( in the summer of course)

The Boy Scouts, The Mountaineers and many others recommend “The Ten Essentials”.They recommend such standard items as water.compass,map.extra food,first aid kit, bug spray, sun screen. sun glasses,extra clothes,and a way to start a fire. Items that I would include are Bear spray, Pocket knife or multi tool,and a way to signal(such As a mirror flare or whistle). the Two most important things are good boots and good planning.Tell two people where you are going and when you will r be back. Have fun.
A few items that are a good idea are a hiking boots, day pack for water or an electrolyte replenishing drink, healthy snack food, rain gear, flashlight, dry socks, first aid kit, compass.
Good ans. before this but whatever you take allow for your 1-2 hrs. and MORE (extra water, food,some just in case stuff).
