What Dan Packs

Dan's logged hundreds of miles here. These are the essentials that actually matter:

Black Diamond Trekking Poles

Essential

Dan swears by these for steep descents. Your knees will thank you.

Katadyn Water Filtration System

Most hikers underestimate how much water they need. This is lighter than carrying it all.

Darn Tough Merino Hiking Socks

Essential

Cotton kills. Merino regulates temperature and prevents blisters on long hikes.
