Join us this week for a quick look at different types of bags you can use for different hiking situations. And while you’re planning your hike, don’t forget to visit our Hiking Information page for our FREE downloadable hiking checklists!

We’re not going to recommend any particular style or brand, we just want you to know about some of the options available to you as you consider your next hike. How long will you be hiking? Will the weather be hot or rainy? Will you be hiking into a particular destination or are you just planning to meander? Will you be in the middle of nowhere or will you be close to places where you can purchase extra water or snacks?

Once you consider all these things, then consider what king of bag you may need to hold all your gear. Do you just need something for your water, your snack bar, and your chapstick? Do you need to pack a rain jacket, a puffy jacket, food, and water? Do you just need water and a small first aid kit? This episode will help you choose the right bag for the right hike.
