NOTE: You may want to bring a knapsack and keep on hand your own first-aid kit, bee sting kit, an extra bandanna or two, toilet paper, Chapstick, a disposable camera, a magnifying glass, etc. Consider you’ll be in the woods for hours, and small things can make you a bit more comfortable. Some people bring kneepads.
