  • It really depends on the location, terrain, weather, and distance. Most of my hikes I just go in trail running shoes and bring a water bottle. That’s usually enough for up to 5 miles. Further than that I’ll pack snacks. I plan for one snack break every 2 hours or 5 miles of walking. So a nice hefty snack can be good for up to 10 miles. Beyond that I need a meal, like a bagel sandwich. That’s good enough for up to 12 or 15 miles. Beyond that I might bring a pint of beer or something extra like a huge cookie. If you’re going more than 20 miles per day I doubt you need any advice. I’ve done 32 miles, and it was just a lot of snacks (and water).

    As another commenter said, trekking poles are nice sometimes. For me I only use them when carrying a load, or for loose or slippery terrain.










  • THERE ARE SEVEN FUNDAMENTAL TENETS

    I

    One should strive to act with compassion and empathy toward all creatures in accordance with reason.

    II

    The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions.

    III

    One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone.

    IV

    The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo one’s own.

    V

    Beliefs should conform to one’s best scientific understanding of the world. One should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit one’s beliefs.

    VI

    People are fallible. If one makes a mistake, one should do one’s best to rectify it and resolve any harm that might have been caused.

    VII

    Every tenet is a guiding principle designed to inspire nobility in action and thought. The spirit of compassion, wisdom, and justice should always prevail over the written or spoken word.
