What kind of supplies should I make sure I have for a long hike?
user
If you want to go on a long hike in nature, you should have hiking shoes, preferably with a supportive arch, extra socks, some sort of hiking stick, extra layers of clothing, and some food and water for at least 2 days.  If you’re hiking for more than a few days, I would also recommend that you have more durable clothes, a sleeping bag, and some other supplies for camping in the wild.  I’d also recommend you learn the basics of wilderness survival before you go, so you’ll have some idea of what to do in the event of an emergency.  Please let me know if you have

What are some useful tools to have on you when you're in nature?
user
Besides all of the supplies I mentioned above, you should also have a good first aid kit, and a map and compass for orienteering.  Also if you have a smartphone or GPS, it can be very useful to carry these along.

How much water should I bring if I plan to hike for a full day?
user
This can vary greatly depending on your level of exertion, your thirst tolerance, and other factors.  I’d recommend aiming for at least a liter of water per hour, or even more if you’re physically exerting yourself.
