Tips
Besides drinking just water, bring along some Gatorade and/or Kool-Aid mix.
Wool keeps it's shape and insulation qualities when wet.
Wool socks that you can buy today are a combination of both Wool and Fabric to wick moisture away from your feet.
100% Cotton is the worse fabric for hiking.
Long Pants or Shorts are a hikers personal preference.
I recommend that you never hike in blue jeans.
Shirts and Under Garments: 100% Cotton is not the fabric of choice.
