A hungry hiker is usually a cranky hiker.

Remember hungry hikers are usually cranky hikers. Don’t skimp on the snacks.

When your outdoors on a hike make sure you pack enough food. Even on a short day hike, it’s a good idea to at least pack some type of food in your bag. The extra energy from your snacks might be the boost you need to make it to the summit or could be the life saver you need in an emergency situation.

Even on a short hike I usually take at least a small bag of Gorp or a couple of Cliff Bars.
