Um, yeah you do. You need to be able to, at a minimum, survive overnight in the event you get stuck up there.

- slothtrop 5y agoHiking doesn't necessarily mean going "up", let alone through highly steep paths. Walking through the woods in uneven terrain is hiking.
- boring_twenties 5y agoOK, I should have said "out there" instead of "up there" -- happy now? It doesn't change my point at all. What happens when you twist your ankle in those uneven woods and are unable to get out before nightfall?
- slothtrop 5y agoDon't hike alone? This isn't complicated. The context in the above conversation is that the activity is framed as riskier than it realistically is.
- boring_twenties 5y agoI never said it was "complicated." Don't hike alone, leave a detailed itinerary with others, carry warm overnight clothing just in case, etc. Collect a few of these simple rules in one place and what do you have? A manual.
