The Ten Essentials

The Ten Essentials is a list of essential items hiking authorities promote as recommended for safe travel in the backcountry.

The Ten Essentials were first described in the 1930s by The Mountaineers, a hiking and mountain climbing club. Many regional organizations and authors recommend that hikers, backpackers, and climbers rigorously ensure they have the ten essentials with them.

According to the Mountaineering: The Freedom of the Hills, the ten essentials are:

Map
Compass (optionally supplemented with a GPS receiver)
Sunglasses and sunscreen
Extra food and water
Extra clothes
Headlamp/flashlight
First aid kit
Fire starter
Matches
Knife
