Very Important Thanks
Yooo pee rag, what?!
It sounds like she’s going on a week-long hike with all that stuff!
A personal satellite beckon would be nice, something like a Garmin Inreach Mini 2, so you can call for help if something happens.
Baby, Miranda goes outside. Gosh darn this is my show… burp.
Thank you for your great informative videos. What is your favorite hiking app?
Gross…just use biodegradable wipes
pocket knife is first thing
I’m hoping it isn’t the same as the one you wear as your neck buff?
Nice advice …..they are all urgent to have on your hiking
Hi Miranda, your videos are awesome!!! I have a question about snacks that you like to take on a day hike? Thanks in advance.
ayye Hidden Lake
Nice advice …..they are all urgent to have on your hiking
“Pee rag”😂
helpfull for all hikers
Nice video, very informative, this will help us Thank you
You what with your what?!?!🤢😳
How you charge your phone while hiking 🤔
A great recipe for disaster. Don’t go anywhere without your sidearm and Bear spray.
What does the P in P rag stand for? Perspiration? Oh. Oh god
bring a pencil, for marking maps
No mace? Missing lots things
Are you still hiking in boots? I found on me Thru Hike that most folks wear trail runners (as I did).
I carry a firearm and bear spray along with ur list
I can go a day hiking without pooping .
Whoa, older video.
This was before it was her show, gosh darn. 😅
Does it weigh you down or is the equipment light enough?
miranda! what watch do you have?
Sweet 👍🏻 👍🏻
Great vid! Like the space blanket !
Lol. It is ok to bring tissue paper.
Something simple that I might have missed in the video is… a whistle. Could be very helpful for rescuers looking for a lost hiker. When you’re lost in the woods, a passerby could be within earshot of you, even though you may not see them.
And I would wear a traditional battery-powered or solar-powered watch. Once the smart watch dies, it’s basically a paperweight.
What rain jacket is that?
Hey Gorgeous. You forgot one of the most important pieces of gear that is transferable to all your packs. and this is a must if you find yourself having to spend a bit longer out than expected.

pee rag? omg just take a pack of wet wipes
You forgot about the 50 caliber eagle
No TP ??
These are some great tips! I am doing a hiking channel with an amusing twist in which I go on a series of day hikes. If you guys get a chance, check it out! It’s called RobbieGarnz. Thanks and be safe!!!
what type of button up shirt is that? It looks sooo comfy
I was listening until you said you tied a wet pee rag to your pack. That’s really nasty.
You will be miserable without a pad to sit on. You can shave 2 Lbs off your hiking climb (1,500 elevation increase is common) by bringing a filter, and half empty water bottle before you begin. Get your water in route for ultralight hiking.
I carry all of this + a sawyer filter, a bigger knife (ya never know), some mechanix gloves & a few electrolyte packs.
I’d rather have several pounds of stuff I don’t need, than need it and not have it.
My girl packs a bit lighter knowing I have all this.
I have long wondered about leaving your itinerary in your car…do you leave this visible on the dash, labeled “intinerary?”
Is the idea that authorities would pop open your car to get to it should you go missing?
What brand of tank top are you wearing?
The pee rag is disgusting.
Short and to the point video. Love it! Btw where is that pink/fade red shirt from?
Awesome info. I’m hitting up 4 national parks over 10 days this month and this is a good reminder of what I should prep and bring with me. I’m going to bring water filtration which I hadn’t thought of until I saw your Platypus water bladder. Thanks for the helpful vid.
Hah? Airdry? Wha…???
Sometimes leaving itinerary in car is not a good thing when hiking, car thieves like to know your whereabouts. It is recommended to tell friends and relatives your plans. Also keep you glovebox empty and open so thieves can see. Valuables keep locked in trunk
