So glad that you have been enjoying our posts of life up here. :-)<br /><br />It depends on where our hike is taking us and how long we will be gone. Up here in the north the backpack always has water in it and our bear spray which sits on the outside of the bag and quick and easy to get at. Kevin normally carries the air horn in a pocket but they are always with us. We also have Kevin's EpiPen, a bite kit and a first aid kit with us, normally two cheap rain ponchos unless the weather is absolutely certain not to rain. For slightly longer hikes, we carry snacks with us, also I always have toilet paper and several extra plastic bags in order to carry out any used toilet paper or other garbage that we create. Longer day hikes we take two backpacks with us, with lunch and snacks and lots of water, extra clothing, especially if we are headed to higher altitudes where it will be cooler and most likely more windy. A lighter is quite often included, sometimes binoculars and Kevin always has his camera with him and we do have a small tripod as well, Kevin's cell phone and again if it is a long hike we bring a small battery pack along to recharge the phone if necessary. Hope that helps answer your question.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-74823336334468254692018-07-08T11:35:53.048-04:002018-07-08T11:35:53.048-04:00Hopefully you will be able to leave and get on wit...Hopefully you will be able to leave and get on with your adventure.

Love reading about life above the arctic circle! <br />OK - question for you to answer sometime when you're hanging around: As experienced hikers, what do you guys usually carry in your backpacks? Does it vary if you plan on only a short hike? What about longer, perhaps all-day hike? I'm not a hiker but we have a young couple in our condo complex and they're thinking about tackling some of the trails here in the Catskills - would like to be able to provide them some guidance from experienced people. Thanks. Fingers crossed the road dries soon.<br />Lynn in Kingston NYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08068892488986068170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-30750988384518771162018-07-07T14:18:13.764-04:002018-07-07T14:18:13.764-04:00No, we'll just wait for the road to dry.

If you hit a little bit of trouble, they could either wench you out of the trouble spot, if possible, or give you a ride the rest of the way to Inuvik for more specialized assistance like heavy duty tow equipment.
