In reply to TrekkerTim82. Totally agree! Picking a trail that matches your skill level makes all the difference. It's about the journey, not just the destination.

In reply to GlovesGuru99. I'd suggest looking into gloves with touchscreen capabilities so you don't have to remove them to use your devices. Many brands offer wind and water-resistant options that are also breathable.

Gaiters? Seriously? Are we going hiking or doing a fashion parade in the mud? I guess it’s functional…but still makes me laugh.

Learn navigation, they say. It’ll be fun, they say. Meanwhile, I can’t even find my way out of a paper bag without GPS help.

Always thought maps were kinda outdated with all our tech, but good point on having a physical one as backup. Never know when the gadgets might fail.

Regarding the checklist, any specific type of gloves you recommend for cross-country hiking? I’m looking for something that offers both warmth and dexterity.

Training for a cross-country trip, huh? My idea of training is binge-watching survival shows while eating popcorn. Does that count?

hey Jonathan Holmes, gotta say, choosing the right trail seems like the cornerstone of planning a cross-country hike. Made that mistake once, won’t do it again lol!
