Ten Essentials

The term Ten Essentials was first coined in 1974 in Freedom of the Hills, a classic mountaineers' and outdoorsperson’s handbook. It’s changed a lot today, and ultralight guru Ray Jardine says in Beyond Backpacking that opting not to take them all can be an acceptable risk fast and light hikers may take. To update the list, many outdoor organizations instead discuss the Ten Essential Groups, which allows adapting to location, climate, season, and geography. The following text is a kind of hybrid that fits well for thru-hikers. While not all thru-hikers carry every item listed here, almost all thru-hikers carry at least one item from each group.
