A Little Forest Wisdom
Dry socks make all the difference.
Choose quick-drying fabrics over heavy clothing. An extra pair of dry socks can make all the difference after a day on the trails.
ONE LAST THING
The forest becomes the focus.
Not what’s in your bag.
Most visitors find they need far less than they expected. Lightweight clothing, protection from rain and insects, and a few personal essentials are usually enough.
