#CatChat: #40trails My hiking essentials

By Catherine Toth Fox • September 9, 2015 • #40trails, Videos

I get asked all the time about what I pack on hikes.

Honestly, it all depends.

If I’m hiking with my dogs on a short, well-paved trail, I just bring enough water and snacks for them. But if I’m doing an overnight hike somewhere, you bet I’m packing way more than that!

So here’s my first #CatChat in almost a year — yes, a year! — just in time for our hiking trip to Moloka‘i this weekend.

    Hello Cat,
    Great tips and great video. I always pack a roll of duct tape everywhere I go. It has so many uses.

      YES! I keep that in my pack, too! I also usually have a roll in my car. It’s the MIRACLE FIX-ALL!
