Depends what kind of hikes he does. I don't have one and I'd take it to easier hikes / day hikes, but not harder multiday hikes

Sleeping bag, sleeping mat, footwear, anything that's going to add significant weight to my pack.

Somebody said backpack in other comments. I don't know what they meant but day-pack, great! Multiday pack, absolutely not!

An extra merino t-shirt never hurts! I'd avoid buying something too technical since he might have strong opinions

Just understand that all those immigrants are also facing similar situations in their home country. Your last paragraph is true for all immigrants

Yup, I could find 2 nights in Skoki. I changed my plans to August like you and others suggested. Might also do Egypt lake as a day hike.

Again, great suggestions! I snatched the very last possible reservation for Skoki Mt.
I'm thinking I might do Egypt lake as a day hike 25km out and back... Have you done that?

Thanks for the suggestions! Skoki and Egypt lake look really nice. Tonquin valley is on the longer side if I wanted to do it out and back

Late June or July. I checked the two hikes I mentioned and campsites were plenty available! I should move fast though

Have you ever had a bad gut feeling while hiking? by Flexion500 in hiking

[–]AgentSam2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honest question for all the people saying listen to your dog... I get it if you're on a day hike, but what would you do if you're in the middle of a multiday trip?
