a head net for bug deterrence; i don't use chemical-based repellents, so this was a huge quality of life improvement for me, and i have no shame about how dorky it looks.
A recent camping trip where the bugs were insane, I was riding my bike when I saw a lady up ahead with a head net on. I thought "how ridiculous is COUGH COUGH CHOKE. I swallowed a gnat. I though "how ingenius is she"
I’m with @kathyrb on this one...that’s a +1 on the comfortable boots/shoes. I can make due with whatever else I have available as long as my feet aren’t killing me.
I’m with @kathyrb, the right foot wear is definitely at the top of my list. To be a little more general, I’m say having the right clothing for the occasion
Coffee-making gear for me...I even carry an abbreviated ultralight coffee setup on dayhikes, which consists of a 550ml titanium pot, a tiny stove (BRS 3000), a very lightweight filter holder, a spoon, and a GSI lightweight insulated mug.
