Map, compass maybe

A rope is always a good idea.

This.

This and a small tarp just in case.

>Crackers
bring some protein/ energy bars. You might want something more energy dense, and god forbid you get stuck out there it's good to have some real food with you

Also some plastic bags and toilet paper so you can carry out and dispose of waste effectively.

Remember those LEAVE NO TRACE principles anon!

Completely agree. Don't get a plastic tarp or anything like that. You want something made of canvas so you can mend it yourself if you are caught in a tough situation.

Rope is the ultimate thing to bring that /out/ always ignores because they post too much here.

Love this advice. A needle and thread might be a good idea to bring as well for mending of any clothing etc that gets damaged. Small enough that there's no reason not to bring them.

>Crackers
This is the only thing that irks me. You'll want to bring some energy bars, especially on a 10 hour hike you're gonna need something with protein and sugars. Salts from crackers won't quite be enough.

then you can hang yourself when you fail :)

Id pack more water. 3 liters at least. being thirsty sucks

im with these two guys. i dont think ive ever said "why did i bring this extra ltr of water" or man those two extra bar were such a waste

if im over 6 hours always bring 3 sandwiches (extra cuz somone will forget), 3 apples, and 4 bars.

plus its summer so you will use the water.

Really depends how much room you have after you pack the rope and canvas in as well as threading equipment. The rope is well worth a litre less of water

thats a mighty bold statement there partner.

Where in nature will you come across a rope? Almost no where. Where will you come across water in Patagonia? Everywhere.
