Seriously, sometimes I think I am MacGyver. Especially when I am out in the woods on a hike but the truth is that while I love the occasional hike in the woods (or along the coastline) I am no outdoorsy guru.

That being said, I like to feel prepared at all times, especially when playing in the great outdoors. Many day hikes may not require the AdventurePlus ($20.00), but it never hurts to be prepared, now does it? This one little gadget includes a compass, a mirror, a magnifying glass, a whistle, a thermometer, a flashlight and a tiny little compartment to keep things (like matches) dry. Buy it online from Highgear.com.
Hiking will be even more fun now that you're prepared to take on any situation so you can concentrate on getting that heart rate going. Now all you need is a good trail to explore -- Check out this listing of free trails.

OOOHhhh.. I want that!!! It's cheap, too!
I hate bringing a bunch of stuff with me while I'm hiking. Unless I'm going really far all I bring is a bottle of water and my cell. Probably not the safest thing.
1That is a great deal, Fitsugar! Way to find a bargain. I should get one for my fatherinlaw because he goes hunting on a regular basis.
2I got this in my stocking a few years ago!
3that is super cool. makes me think of my days as a girl scout.
