Hiking Q&A

A few things to keep yourself more than well-prepared.

Bring a gun. Preferrably a high caliber pistol, since rifles are much more weight and serve just about the same purpose. (This is assuming you've fired at least one gun in your life)

A boot knife works well, but you can bring pretty much any kind of knife as long as it's sturdy and not some cheap shit you bought at the gas station.

Wear boots, but not anything over the top like galoshes. For gods sake make sure you are wearing shoes that are sturdy, but also make sure they are LIGHT, or else you will be weighed down by your feet after a couple of hours.

Bring bottles of water, of course. Do not, however, drink water that you bottled from a river unless you drink it quickly. Natural flowing water does not have the purifiers bottled water has, so once you drink it it can become bad if left sitting for too long. (Also, a good way to filter water is just get your shirt wet and then wring it out.)

Anyways, I know you're hiking in desert terrain, but these are just some general hiking tips.

And oh yeah, have fun!

Jam it back in, in the dark.
