I am a 16 year old male and have been on a few hikes in SoCal and the Oregon coast. For a while I've really been wanting to get more into hiking. What is some good starting gear to get as a beginner such as shoes/boots, backpacks, clothes, etc. The hikes I've been on usually range around 3-5 miles round trip but I've been wanting to go on longer more intense hikes. #hiking #activity
