Depending on the difficulty of the hike, I may take a couple bananas for the potassium and maybe 1 bottle of water and 1 bottle of gatorade or something with elctrolytes to avoid cramping and dehydration. O yea, an IFAK (Improved First Aid Kit) comes with all the basic equipment, including a tourniquet (better safe than sorry item) . Beer on ice at the house for my return home haha.
