Ten Essentials

The Ten Essentials are a set of key items recommended for outdoor adventures like hiking and camping to ensure safety and preparedness. They include navigation tools (map and compass), sun protection, extra clothing, lighting (like a headlamp), first aid kit, fire-starting supplies, a multi-tool or knife, extra food and water, an emergency shelter, and communication devices like a whistle or cell phone. Having these items helps you navigate, stay safe, and handle unexpected situations in the wilderness, giving peace of mind and increasing your chances of a safe return.
