I took a short hike today to rejuvenate. None of what I brought was gear that I got special for hiking but rather it's gear that I have for other reasons that also works well during a hike! The most important thing I think that I took from today's hike was not how well my gear served me but how poorly my attitude did.
I really love my holster from Wide River on Etsy. This item is handmade in Ukraine, and so might not get to you quickly, but it is QUALITY. Choose "6 layers" for the Workchamp.

Inexpensive Travelon Slingbag - I would not use this as a daily hiker... but it does for a lunch!
