Light Source

So, always Pack Like a Pro! and include that bright beacon in your gear!

Fire-making kit

When you’re outdoors on an adventure, having a fire making kit isn’t just a luxury—it’s an essential part of your adventure toolkit!  Fire is vital to staying warm during a change in the weather, an injury, in an emergency or an unplanned overnight.

So, gear up, Pack Like a Pro! and get ready to ignite your outdoor experiences!

Signaling device – whistle or mirror

Carrying a signaling device in your pack is essential! Whether your hiking, snowmobiling, ATV’ing or adventuring in remote areas, having a reliable way to signal for help can make all the difference in an emergency. It’s not just about staying safe; it’s about enjoying your adventure with peace of mind. So, remember, when you gear up for your next expedition, big
or small, Pack Like a Pro! and include that signaling device (whistle/mirror)—your future self will thank you!

Extra food and water (1 litre/person)

It’s essential to Pack Like a Pro! by ensuring you have extra food and water in your pack. Imagine trekking through stunning landscapes, only to find yourself feeling fatigued or dehydrated because you didn’t bring enough supplies. Having that extra snack or refreshing sip can make all the difference (especially in an emergency), keeping your energy levels high and spirits even higher! So, gear up, pack wisely, and get your favourite snacks in your pack!

Extra clothing (rain, wind, water protection and toque)

Carrying extra clothing in your pack isn’t just smart—it’s essential! Imagine being caught in an unexpected downpour or feeling chilly as the sun sets; having that extra layer can make all the difference in keeping you comfortable and warm in emergencies. So, remember to Pack Like a Pro! Always stash some extra clothing in your pack to stay prepared for whatever adventure comes your way!

Navigation and Communication

Having navigation and a communications device in your pack is essential! Imagine trekking through breathtaking landscapes but suddenly losing your way—yikes! That’s where your trusty GPS or compass comes to the rescue, guiding you back on track. And let’s not forget about communication devices; they’re your lifeline in case of emergencies. So, remember, whether you’re hiking up a mountain or exploring the backcountry, always be prepared and Pack Like a Pro!

First aid kit—know how to use it

Having a first aid kit in your pack is essential! Accidents can happen when you least expect them—think scrapes, insect bites, or even minor sprains. A well-stocked first aid kit ensures that you’re prepared for those little mishaps and can handle them like an expert! So, remember to Pack Like a Pro! and include that first aid kit in your gear; it’s a small investment for safe adventures!

Emergency Shelter

Carrying an emergency shelter in your pack is a game-changer! Imagine being caught in a sudden storm or getting lost as the sun sets—having a reliable shelter can be the difference between comfort and a chilly night under the stars. So, remember to Pack Like a Pro! by including this essential gear in your backpack; it’s not just about being prepared—it’s about ensuring your adventure remains fun and safe!

Pocketknife / Utility Tool

Having a pocketknife or utility tool is like having a trusty sidekick by your side! These compact wonders are essential for tackling unexpected challenges and helping you out in emergencies. With so many functions packed into one handy tool, you can handle anything that comes your way. So, remember, whether you’re snowshoeing, backcountry skiing, or just enjoying a day in nature, always be prepared and Pack Like a Pro!

Sun Protection

Sun protection is essential!  Carrying sunscreen, sunglasses, and a wide-brimmed hat in your pack is essential to shield your skin from harmful UV rays and prevent painful sunburn. Not only does this help you stay comfortable during your outdoor escapades, but it also protects your long-term skin health! So, remember, when you head out into the great outdoors, Pack Like a Pro! and make sun protection a priority for a fun and safe experience!
