Well, unless you keep using the hand to climb, you don't need a pair of gloves. So far, I haven use any. I think a pair of good boots and clothes that are breathable are essential.

Most of the essentials have been covered, but I also recommend a light pair of gloves...I've been using Grier kangroo-skin gloves, very thin, light and durable. Really helps if the trail has briars or thorns.

A small Camelback or similar hydration pack helps to keep the water handy and allows you to keep your hands free...my kids love them.

Strongly agree with the TP and wet-wipes

Grier kangroo-skin gloves,

Wouldn't the cost be high for kangroo leather?

Beef jerky is usually salty and will make you thirsty.

That's why you bring plenty of water with you!!! Don't go around knocking the beef. I never go hiking without at least 1 if not 2 bags of pemmican. Hatch makes a pair of kangaroo plamed tactical gloves/kevlar that are light, breathable and cost around 30-35 on the internet.
