Checklists For Hiking
Some people are what I think of as “list lovers” – you know, not as in they make love using a list (at least none of them that I’m aware of anyway), but some people just love writing lists. I actually know someone who makes a list of all the lists he needs to make – shopping list, gardening jobs list, other “to do” list, Christmas list . . . Jeez, get a life! Problem is, he never remembers to take any of the lists with him anyway, so he stands in the middle of the grocery store trying to remember what was on the list (which is back at home in the kitchen). Maybe he should write a list to remind him about which lists he needs to remember to take with him!
Hiking Checklists
Hikers, however, need to make lists, and not only to write them, but to read them and check off the stuff as they put it into their rucksacks. Problem is, you can’t afford to hike miles into the wilderness and find that you’ve forgotten something vital on the first night you want to make camp, or find that you’ve forgotten your hiking waterproofs when the heavens open as you’re miles from shelter. No, hikers (particularly back-country hikers) need to make sure that they have everything with them which they need to survive, so all good hikers make hiking checklists, and even more importantly, all good hikers follow their checklists before they leave home and set off along the hiking trail.
Be sure not to forget water, toilet paper, waterproof jacket and insect repellent for starters.
