02 - THE LAYERING SYSTEM
3 2 1 Outer layer
Mid layer
Protects you from weather conditions, should be waterproof, windproof and durable. Ideally this layer allows moisture through to the outside while not letting wind and rain in.
Insulation to retain body heat whilst being breathable. Fleece often used with moisture wicking materials. Lightweight, quick drying and easy to pack.
Base layer Acts to regulate body temperature, offering warmth and comfort. Wicks away moisture. Fits snug to the skin and lightly insulates.

03 - HIKING, THE ESSENTIALS
To decide what you should bring on a day hike, consider wether the location is remote, what length of hike you have planned and the predicted weather conditions. If the hike is more remote and a longer distance generally you will need to pack more clothing, food and drink items.
If you’re new to hiking these are some essentials that should be on your checklist: hiking backpack, weather appropriate clothing, hiking boots, food, water, navigation tools e.g map, first aid kit and head torch (Rei, 2021).
