Hello,
Thank you for letting me be a part of this amazing community.
The reason that I writing here today is to get advice from the members of this forum about a hike that I will be taking early next month.
I have been granted about 12 - hours daylight access to hike up Chestnut Ridge Natural Area Preserve in Narrows, Virginia. I was wondering if someone would please give me suggestions as to what I should bring with me up this ridge. I do not have the exact GPS coordinates yet so I do not know what topographical map I should get. The steward says that there are some logging trails as well as no trails at all for me as I scale up this ridge. He says that it will be a tough hike. Will someone please share with me a list items you would take if you were to take this hike? I am thinking topo maps, maybe there is an app for my iphone, back pack, camelback water, electrolytes and food, first aid kit, iphone power supply, pocket knife, machete, insect repellant, socks, rope.
Are there some things that I am missing?
Thank you so much for the help.
Best regards,
Star Trail
