For a short hike on a popular well marked trail I prefer Double Mint to Double Tap.

Actually I have a pint of water and a stocking cap in my back pockets, a aaa flashlight, a fero rod and a No6 opinel in my front pocket along with the burner phone.

In hot weather a shade hat instead of a stocking cap.

If with my dog, I bring poo bags and also pepper spray for misbehaving pit bull owners.
