Hiking Lists

From my experience people tend to fall into one of two categories - those who make lists for everything and those who almost never make lists for anything. I used to fall into the second category until one disastrous hiking trip in which I forgot a whole host of bits and pieces which didn’t ruin the trip but certainly caused more than a little annoyance. Fortunately, I had packed most of the essential items such as my trusty Asolo hiking boots but had to go shopping for a number of minor bits and pieces which I had forgotten. Since that trip I have gotten into the habit of making a list of everything I am going to need before I start packing and it has proved to be both a very simple process and one which has made life a lot simpler.
