We love hiking with our kids as it’s an excellent way to spend time together, move our bodies, slow down and just enjoy the nature. 

Almost every day I get questions on what we pack with us on our adventures, so here is a little checklist of some  things we always carry with us:

• Bring a carrier or hiking backpack. We being using Ospreypacks, and we love it. It’s comfortable, not very heavy and has some storage. For hiking backpack we use Flex Capacitor, and we absolutely love it.
• If you have a small hiker then make sure he/she has a proper/comfortable footwear as its essential to hiking success. We love Merrell hiking shoes for both summer and winter hiking, as they have great traction, breathe very well and come in wide widths, which is a big for us, as both of my boys have super wide feet. 
• Water to stay hydrated.
• Sunscreen, we usually apply a sunscreen with SPF 35 or higher before going outdoors, and then I like to reapply it to face, ears, neck, hands or other open areas as we hike. 
• Insect repellent for mosquitoes and ticks.
• First aid kit
• Beanies or sun hats
• Sunglasses 
• Snacks 
• Diapers
• Wet wipes and hand sanitizer.
• Rain Poncho
• Hand warmers
• An emergency whistle, as sound is much louder and travels farther than the human voice. Both of our hiking backpacks and child carrier have one, check yours, as I am sure you got one too, if not then get one!
• Bear bell or a bear spray is the good one to carry too 

Stay tuned as I will be sharing some more tips, tricks on how to get started exploring with your little munchkins.
