2. Get a traffic cone for your light to aid in visibility. Even if you stay on the sidewalks, drivers turning on to side roads and driveways are a potential hazard.

3. Along the same lines, I see no Hi-Viz materials. If you are walking at night, I would recommend a reflective vest or belt. My dog also wears a reflective collar.

4. Depending on the length of the walk, a bottle of water and a collapsible nylon bowl. Even if you don't carry the water, the bowl can be used with hose bibs you may find along the way.

5. No towel? Even a small one can serve many purposes in case of an injury or an encounter with the unexpected.


I am sorry, but this early in the morning I saw traffic cone and thought "Why in the heck would he want to carry a huge roadside cone". Then it dawned on me, You meant a light wand type cone. Good for a morning laugh.
