Clothing & Footwear
When it comes to clothes, since I live in Colorado and am hiking in the high country, I'm always prepared for cold weather.  Depending on where I am going, I don't take all this stuff, just what I think I will need if it should turn ugly.  I'm huge fan of fresh clothes and getting out of your shoes at the end of a hike. Also, it pays to be prepared to go swimming.  If it's the summer, I usually carry my suit with me in the pack in case a mountain lake is calling.  Sometimes the sandals too.
