In 2002, we had the side hike of trail peak. Several of us brought a very
lightweight "backpack", basically a bag with ropes for straps to use on the
side hike. It folded up into the size of a couple decks of playing cards
and weighed just a few ounces. It was perfect! All we took was raingear,
water and the crew first aid kit. We got an early start and were back at
Beaubien in time for lunch. As I recall, the pack was a Nike thing, but
recently, we got one very similar as a gift from some cell phone company.
They are coming with us again this year as we anticipate a couple of side
hikes (have a lower mileage base-trek this time).
YIS.

How do you do the side hikes? We will be on Trek 6 and we have a couple. Do
we get scouts to just bring rain gear, water and a first aid kit? Or are
there other things to take? Do you get just a couple of scouts to bring a
pack and load all the gear in these?
Do you generally still do these hikes in your boots, or can you do these
trails in tennis shoes because you no longer have full packs?
Any other suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.
