… I only list this as optional as I always carry one for group hikes, but all hikers should buy and keep a first aid kit in their backpack at all times.   You can pick up a hiker's first aid kit at REI for about $15.  In general, always better safe than sorry. 6) Towel/Small Blanket.  I.e. something to sit on during lunch breaks.  7) Sunscreen.  Seems obvious, but many people forget this essential.  8) Bug spray.  I've fond that those natural citronella types work just as well as harsher chemicals …
