The gear you take is influenced by the style of walking you usually do and the anticipated weather conditions as well.
This list is split into Essential Items and Optional.
You will find some things on the “Essential” list that you may not be carrying now. You may even carry them in your back pack for many years without ever using them. These items are for that time when things go wrong. If you are stuck out overnight unexpectedly you will be grateful that you carried a few light weight extras.
For some of you there are things in the “Optional” list that I am sure you think of as essential, like your camera.
Make sure you check the information your leader sends you about the walk and carry any gear that they mention.
You’ll find some more information and a great educational video on lotsafreshair.

Since 1984 I have had the honor and privilege of serving as the Senior Pastor of Elmwood Missionary Baptist Church.
Over the past 130 years the Lord has truly blessed this church and its generations of families. It has always truly been a family oriented church, reaching young and old.
We stand without apology for “The Faith once delivered to the saints.” (Jude 1:3) This church has held, and with God’s help will always hold, to the fundamental, essential truths of the Scriptures.
The Board of Deacons are here to support the ministry led by the Pastor and to be watchmen against attack by all adversaries of the faith and scriptures.
At Elmwood Baptist Church we have a traditional choir comprised of saved individuals of various ages who wish to serve the Lord with their musical talents. The goal of all our music is to be Christ centered and Biblically supported.
The youth are the future of our church and it is the responsibility of the members to teach them how to serve once they accept Christ as Lord and Savior. Master Clubs provides Baptist churches with the King James-based resources to help effectively teach and train the youth to serve the Master.
Sunday School is one of the more neglected ministries in today's society, but it is critical to the growth of the Christian. We live in a very busy culture that struggles to make church services and in that they may have also forgotten the value of Sunday School. The Bible teaches in Ephesians 4:11-14, "and he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;" Why did God do this? It goes on to say, "For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying (growing) of the body of Christ: Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;" Without programs like Sunday School to ground us in scripture, our churches will continue to produce weak Christians.
As deacons our focus is to stay true to God's Word, be servants to the congregation, and be helpmates to the pastor in caring out his ministries.
Our teen ministry is Christ centered, teaching our youth in accordance with Proverbs 22:6: Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
Jesus tells us what our attitude should be towards missions in Mark 15:16, "And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature." If we are to be in tune with Jesus, we need to be obedient to His Word. I believe God blesses mission-minded churches.
Surrendering to God’s call to serve as a deacon has been a blessing and it’s an honor to serve God and my church through the teen ministry.
Honored to serve those that have faithfully served Elmwwod for so many years while leading and encouraging today's youth to be today's church.
I serve the Lord Jesus Christ because He loves me and I certainly love Him.
From my childhood, I've always enjoyed working with my hands and fixing what needed fixing around the house. I feel blessed and honored to be able to serve God and my church as a Trustee.
My calling as a trustee was one of service to the pastor, deacons and fellow trustees with the goal of assisting with the functional duties of the church. When fellowshipping with my brothers and sisters in Christ, I am always excited to see their joy by God's blessings.
My desire as a trustee is always to do my best to serve God and to be faithful in what needs to be taken care of in the church. I strive to put God first, others next, and myself last.
We serve the church in youth ministry to support and create experiences that help young people grow in their relationship with Christ, that they remain faithful Christians into adulthood.
Every Tuesday, when school is in session, Elmwood Baptist Church sponsors Good News Club, an after school program at Martha Elementary School which is located adjacent to the church. The purpose of Good News Club is to evangelize boys and girls with the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ and establish (disciple) them in the Word of God and in a local church for Christian living.
It is important that children learn from a young age of salvation through Christ only. As the church we desire for them to see the fun and enjoyment in fellowship with the local church and fellow Christians. Also, to be mission minded in their service as they grow.
I've played the piano/organ in church since I was little and have always had a desire for worshiping God through music. I instruct our children's choir, which consists of a vocal/bell choir, where children ages 4-teens learn to praise God in song. I also enjoy working with the children in our Master Club where I, along with my husband, lead the 6th grade students. We strive to bring the gospel to children to learn and grow in their faith in Jesus Christ.
I love working with the children at Elmwood. Showing them how to follow Christ is my main goal. I teach Sunday School, work with the children's choir, and serve in Master Club. My service for the Lord is just a small contribution towards spreading the gospel.With an enrollment of 16 students, the Maple Tree Community School is leaving rented space in Manchester for the more central location.
READFIELD — The old Readfield Grange Hall on Church Road is getting a new life.
The two-story hall, built in 1876, is being renovated as the new home for Maple Tree Community School, a 3-year-old private school serving children in grades K-8.
Nicole Danielson, director and founder of the school, said the Grange hall’s historic nature and its size make it perfect for a multi-age school.
Since 2011, Maple Tree had been renting space in Manchester. She said the Readfield location is more central for the school’s current enrollment of 16 students because some of them come from as far away as Mount Vernon.
The school bought the Grange hall from the Golden Girls and Guys Club, which had bought it from the Grange last October. Renovations began in earnest this summer. Maple Tree’s first day of school is Sept. 8. Some construction still will be taking place during September.
The interior of the building features hardwood floors and wooden columns between the first and second floors. A smooth hardwood dance floor graces the second floor and the walls are wood-paneled. There is a piano, and many old wooden chairs can be used to seat an audience for a performance on the stage, which has a working curtain.
“It’s been beautifully maintained,” Danielson said.
The school is installing new wiring, plumbing and heating systems as well as insulating the building.
Danielson had teaching experience in both public and private elementary schools. She has two children — a son who’s completed eighth grade at Maple Tree and now will move on to Kents Hill School and a daughter who’s starting fourth grade at Maple Tree.
The school has two teacher assistants, Christine Little and Chris Hall, and a French teacher, Karen Foust. Danielson is a full-time teacher as well as the school’s administrator.
The school is registered with the state and must comply with state laws
