National Hiking Day is November 17th. 

Make sure you are safe out there. Garmin inreach mini 2 will keep you connected to the outside world in case of an emergency. It will also track you and send that information to anyone you want to send it to. That way no matter what you wont be left out there alone. I have one that I use for my Captain services because I run thru a lot of cellular dead areas. It works great and very resonable monthly plans which you can suspend whenever you are not going to be using it and reactivate when you do want to use it.
