 Hey guys and welcome back to the channel. In today's video I will share with you what I pack for a day hike here in Alaska. We have been calling Alaska home for the last few days and we are so thankful for the opportunity to explore these beautiful states. As we are working from home here we try to go on day hikes every now and then and the weather seems to change from sunny and bright some days to rainy and foggy other days and it's slightly different than what we are used to back in the desert of Arizona. Obviously my packing list varies from one hike to the other depending on how long or strenuous the hike is but for a typical short mother hike like this one in flat top mountain trail here is what I packed. First is the backpack. I choose the 20 liter backpack the Osprey Tempest for women and it's my go-to pack very comfortable and very lightweight. Next is water out of habit I always pack a 3 liter Osprey hydration pack as well as a Nalgene water bottle. It really depends on how long the hike is again and if there are any reliable water resources throughout the way but this is my go-to amount of water. For food I usually pack something sweet something salty and noon tablets for the water in my Nalgene bottle. Next is sun protection and that includes sunglasses a hat and sunscreen. Rain protection I carry a rain jacket a rain cover for my backpack and if I'm feeling a little bit fancy I would take an umbrella which is not always the best idea especially if it's windy outside. For safety in bear country I carry a bear spray and a bear bell to make some noise on the trail especially if it's less populated. We usually hike together Alex and I so it's not really necessary but I carry it anyway. For safety and emergencies I didn't have a first aid kit with me but I usually pack duct tape a knife a sun reflector an emergency blanket and a head lamp even though the sun doesn't go down this time of the year until around midnight but you never know until you need it. And finally my GoPro Hero 7 with its housing case and a waterproof case for my SD cards for both the GoPro and the camera and that's about it. I hope that you guys found this video helpful to plan for your day hikes in Alaska and if you did find it useful please give it a thumbs up and consider subscribing to our channel.
