replying to @MattsRoadTrip A8. If I'm hiking into the Backcountry, I let a ranger & friend know my plan. I plan with paper maps and sattelite maps. I carry a light bag/pad, map, compass, gps, extra food, water filter, extra battery, first aid, knife and multitool, light and warm layers. #ParkChat

replying to @MattsRoadTrip @MattsRoadTrip A8. Research. If it's a multiday hike, I might look to join a guided tour. But, I'm more likely to explore a different section of the park. Lots of reading, asking, checking conditions, considering what day of the week it is, etc, #parkchat

Make a detailed schedule of where I'd like us to be and when and try to be flexible for dates depending on weather.
