Always plan ahead so you can keep on adventuring!

Its always good to keep these essential items for day or overnight trips

The list can always be modified per trip  but be sure to always be prepared.  I've always ben over prepared on most trips but have found myself in risky situations that could have been prevented with a little more planning and preparedness.
