So, if you are <a class=\"ajax-article\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/building-your-24-hour-get-home-bag\/\">building your survival, hiking or bug-out pack<\/a>, consider adding these items.<\/p>\n<h2>Water Filtration System<\/h2>\n<p><a class=\"ajax-article\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/long-term-water-solutions-for-crisis-situations\/\">Quality drinking water<\/a> is a must-have and rarely guaranteed for longer trips like these. Simply put, you need something to filter the water you find in nature on these longer hiking trips. Grant used an MSR Hyperflow microfilter and said it worked fantastic for his situation, going as far as to go to a nearby river and drinking straight from it after filling his bottle with the microfilter.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full flush\"><picture loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-35983\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/msr-hyperflow-water-filtration-system.jpg.webp 1540w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/msr-hyperflow-water-filtration-system-800x800.jpg.webp 800w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/msr-hyperflow-water-filtration-system-400x400.jpg.webp 400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/msr-hyperflow-water-filtration-system-768x768.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/msr-hyperflow-water-filtration-system-1536x1536.jpg.webp 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1540px) 100vw, 1540px\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1540\" height=\"1540\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/msr-hyperflow-water-filtration-system.jpg\" alt=\"msr hyperflow water filtration system for backpacking\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/msr-hyperflow-water-filtration-system.jpg 1540w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/msr-hyperflow-water-filtration-system-800x800.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/msr-hyperflow-water-filtration-system-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/msr-hyperflow-water-filtration-system-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/msr-hyperflow-water-filtration-system-1536x1536.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1540px) 100vw, 1540px\"\/>\n<\/picture><figcaption>The MSR Hyperflow Microfilter is used to filter water to make it safe for drinking.

Priced at $135, this is a solid deal. Bring this item on any hiking trip if you want to remain ahead of the curve.<a\/><\/p>\n<h2>Wet Weather Gear<\/h2>\n<p>During Grant\u2019s hiking trip, it was a rare occasion not to be covered in rain, snow, or both. Dealing with these kinds of weather conditions can be grueling on the body, so it\u2019s best not to cheap out on weather protection gear.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><picture loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-35984\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/pneuma-wet-weather-hiking-gear.jpg.webp 1400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/pneuma-wet-weather-hiking-gear-800x450.jpg.webp 800w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/pneuma-wet-weather-hiking-gear-400x225.jpg.webp 400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/pneuma-wet-weather-hiking-gear-768x432.jpg.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1400\" height=\"788\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/pneuma-wet-weather-hiking-gear.jpg\" alt=\"pneuma wet weather hiking gear\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/pneuma-wet-weather-hiking-gear.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/pneuma-wet-weather-hiking-gear-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/pneuma-wet-weather-hiking-gear-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/pneuma-wet-weather-hiking-gear-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\"\/>\n<\/picture><figcaption>Snow angels in a stream can really put wet weather gear to the test. This set from Pnuma Outdoors proved its value on a nearly <span class=\"nowrap\">70-mile hike.<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Grant chose the 3L Element Proof Rain Jacket and Pant for this trip from Pnuma Outdoors. His favorite features of the set are the shoulder and knee pads that help keep water out of and pressure off those heavily used areas, the long zippers that allow making it easy to get in and out of the gear, and the Velcro straps that keep water and snow out of the sleeves and pants.<\/p>\n<div class=\"newsletter inline\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: none;\" class=\"logo-tal-icon\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/themes\/thearmorylife\/img\/logo-tal-tm-icon.svg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Live The Armory Life.<\/strong> The latest content straight to your inbox plus an automatic entry to each of our <a class=\"ajax-giveaways\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/giveaways\/\"><strong>monthly gun\u00a0giveaways!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>For being 100% waterproof and DWR treated, the pair comes in at a light 17.6 ounces.

Frankly, a good set of trekking poles is something you don\u2019t want to skimp on in terms of getting a quality product.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><picture loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-35985\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/rei-trekking-poles.jpg.webp 1400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/rei-trekking-poles-800x450.jpg.webp 800w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/rei-trekking-poles-400x225.jpg.webp 400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/rei-trekking-poles-768x432.jpg.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1400\" height=\"788\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/rei-trekking-poles.jpg\" alt=\"rei trekking poles\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/rei-trekking-poles.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/rei-trekking-poles-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/rei-trekking-poles-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/rei-trekking-poles-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\"\/>\n<\/picture><figcaption>REI Co-op trekking poles are considered essential hiking gear by the author. They likely saved him from multiple knee\u00a0blowouts.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Grant chose the REI Co-op Trekking poles, which cost $109.95 for the pair. He swore by these poles and said they saved him from a few knee blowouts, which would\u2019ve put an unfortunate quick ending to his hiking trip.<\/p>\n<p>The pair come in either 95-120 cm (37-47 in.) or 105-140 cm (41-55 in.) Wrist straps are added to the poles for comfort. Two types of interchangeable baskets are included for either trail or snow. The customization and strength of the poles should make them an easy choice for your pack.<a\/><\/p>\n<h2>Mat System<\/h2>\n<p>Being directly on the ground in colder climates is a one-way ticket to uncomfortable and inefficient sleep. A good mat that gives insulation between you and the environment can help make sleeping much easier and give you more energy as you sleep easier at night.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><picture loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-35986\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/topo-luxe-sleeping-mat-for-hiking.jpg.webp 1400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/topo-luxe-sleeping-mat-for-hiking-800x450.jpg.webp 800w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/topo-luxe-sleeping-mat-for-hiking-400x225.jpg.webp 400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/topo-luxe-sleeping-mat-for-hiking-768x432.jpg.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1400\" height=\"788\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/topo-luxe-sleeping-mat-for-hiking.jpg\" alt=\"topo luxe sleeping mat for hiking\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/topo-luxe-sleeping-mat-for-hiking.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/topo-luxe-sleeping-mat-for-hiking-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/topo-luxe-sleeping-mat-for-hiking-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/topo-luxe-sleeping-mat-for-hiking-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\"\/>\n<\/picture><figcaption>Lightweight and compact, the Topo Luxe sleeping pad can make sleeping on the trail substantially more\u00a0comfortable.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Grant managed to stay comfortable, even in the low teen temperatures, and the Topo Luxe sleeping pad was his choice. It sits at about $179.95. Its dimensions are 20\u00d772 inches for the regular size and comes in at about one pound and seven ounces. You can inflate the mat with the award-winning valve system for which Thermarest is often praised.<a\/><\/p>\n<h2>Sleeping Bag System<\/h2>\n<p>Along with the last item, the sleeping bag can significantly affect sleep comfort and your energy for the next day.

This sleeping bag offered good warmth and compresses into a very small\u00a0size.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Grant used the Snugpak Softie 9 HAWK, which comes at $299.99. When compressed into its pack, it weighs about 53 ounces. The Snugpak stays comfortable to 14 degrees Fahrenheit, meaning it should be good for most conditions.<\/p>\n<p>Packing up the sleeping bag took Grant about a minute and a half during his week on the trip, but this time could improve with more experience. The unrolled pack has dimensions of 87\u00d730 inches, so it has most sizes in mind. The Paratex lining and Softie fill should keep you comfortable at night and give you the sleep you need and deserve.<\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>Hiking\/backpacking is a fun experience that can connect you to nature and give you time away from the often stressful life you can have in civilization. However, you need to prepare accordingly to fully enjoy it.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full flush\"><picture loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-35988\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/best-gear-for-hiking-and-hunting.jpg.webp 934w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/best-gear-for-hiking-and-hunting-562x800.jpg.webp 562w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/best-gear-for-hiking-and-hunting-281x400.jpg.webp 281w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/best-gear-for-hiking-and-hunting-768x1094.jpg.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 934px) 100vw, 934px\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"934\" height=\"1330\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/best-gear-for-hiking-and-hunting.jpg\" alt=\"best gear for hiking and hunting\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/best-gear-for-hiking-and-hunting.jpg 934w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/best-gear-for-hiking-and-hunting-562x800.jpg 562w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/best-gear-for-hiking-and-hunting-281x400.jpg 281w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/best-gear-for-hiking-and-hunting-768x1094.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 934px) 100vw, 934px\"\/>\n<\/picture><figcaption>Most of us love the outdoors.
