Never be afraid - Because God is with you in all things. (Psalms 91)

Plan to the best of your ability - Murphy's law will come into play you can count on it.

Emergency Help - Alert someone to where, when, what, and how long, prior to setting out on an adventure alone. 

Journal - Always carry one to write down the beautiful things you encounter, your thoughts, and lessons learned.

Socks - Always wear high grade merino wool padded socks from SmartWool to decease risk of wet feet and blisters.

Boots - I have alway preferred combat boots because they are tried and tested daily around the world.

Back Packs - Kifaru, I believe makes the finest packs around.  When fitted properly they are a cadillac with adaptibilty.

Water - You can never carry enough, Camelbak units are awesome and carry a water purifier in case of extended stay.

Walking Sticks - Find a solid hickory stick with a metal tip.  Have not yet tested metal or composite telescoping sticks.

First Aid - Purchase the best kit you can and try to maintain a balance between weight and contents needed.

Strobe Light - This will allow drivers to see you if on a back road or if SAR is looking for you.

Energy Bars - Carry them always even on a simple day hike, events beyond your control could hold you up for days.
