Preparing for a hike is like preparing for life. Start incrementally and gear yourself from the bottom up. Invest in good footwear that is durable, light and wicks moisture. Get a good hip pack for a first aid kit, map, water and a sandwich. Using poles works your upper body and increases your staying power.
