Organized Hiking

When on a hike trail, it's not the best time to be all rumpled up. This not your home sweet home, it is a foreign turf so organize your things all the time. When hanging wet socks, use alligator clips. To avoid dirt inside your boots, use gaiters to keep debris and rain off your boots. You can also come up with your own version by being resourceful. It's your choice whether a trekking pole will help or not. If it does, bring one to alleviate stress off your knees or if not, just don't even waste time and effort into carrying it through your pace.
