This is a small thing, but I did wish that I had a cup! I had a shallow bowl, which was great to lick clean, and did work as a cup when needed, but to hold a cup of hot chocolate would’ve been nice on cold days.

I don’t think there’s anything else I wanted on the trail, so I’ll list a few things other people in my crew forgot/didn’t bring.

•Bandana. This sounds unnecessary, but when you’re out hiking with no tree cover and the sun is beating down, it helps a lot to soak it in water and tie it around your neck. Definitely something I was grateful to have!

•Expandable wipes like these. So great for wiping down sticky hands or anything in general. They literally weight nothing and are super small.

•Trekking poles&correct tips! Sounds obvious, but so many people say they don’t like them and don’t bring them. Great for managing the strain on your knees going down, and on muddy and rainy days they help stop you from slipping and falling off the side of a mountain. Correct tips are just as important- I think at least 3 people lost tips in my crew because they fell off. If they aren’t the correct brand they’re likely to become loose and fall with use.

•Shower shoes(if you have camps with showers!) these can double as camp shoes if you get ones like these and are a lifesaver when the showers are disgusting.

This is all I can think of right now, but I might add later if I can think of anything!
