If you’re looking to add a little adventure into your life, taking up hiking has so many benefits to getting outside and exploring a new place. To make sure you’re prepared, we’ve put together a checklist for you so that you’ll be ready to go for your first hike! Main things to make sure you have pertained to hydration, navigation, and safety. Keep those three pillars in mind and you’ll be good to go. 

Day Hike Packing List:

• Your Vibedration Hydration Pack (serves as a backpack and water bottle all in one!)
