Clothes:

One of the best pieces of advice I can give you about spending time in the backcountry is: TAKE CARE OF YOUR FEET! I mean it. Spoil your feet rotten. They are, in fact, your only mode of transportation out there! Since I have a few pins left in mine from an old surgery, I am super conscious of this. First of all, don't save weight on socks (my personal opinion). It is so important to have cozy, cushy, dry socks every day and each night. I'm not saying you can't hike a couple days in one pair (depending on the conditions) but you'll be sorry if you skimp on your feet. I've had a good run with Smartwool's Light or Medium Hiking Crew. Made of Merino Wool (ooh la la) they are not only comfy but have an arch brace that supports your foot and keeps things straight (no sock slippage here!). They dry quickly (hang in your tent at night for an "all natural" air freshener :), come in lots of cute colors (no reason not to have style on the trail :) and are very durable.

In addition to the right socks, other foot maintenance is also a vital part of keeping your feet happy. I like to designate a pair of "night socks" that will only be used at camp and while sleeping. It's important to get out of the socks you've been hiking in all day. Wanna go a step further? Bring along a travel size Gold Bond Powder and douse your feet and socks before putting on your clean pair. Ahhhhhh! It's tingly, refreshing heaven. If you really want to put the icing on the cake, throw a small pot of Tiger Balm (great for all sore body parts) in your pack (it's the size of chapstick) and rub your feet pre-powder and clean socks....you won't be sorry. Take care of your tootsies! They deserve it.
