Remember to always bring good quality backpacking equipment whenever you head out for the open trail, including a survival guide. A cell phone is also handy if you get lost, as it can produce a signal to help rescue workers find you. There have been people who were rescued solely because of the signal their cell phone put out. And don’t forget to shop at an outdoors store for all the quality backpacking gear you’ll need for your upcoming trip.
