"Hi, now I'm going to talk about how to pack for warmer weather. The best part about packing for warmer weather is you can go a lot lighter. So, I've got a lot smaller backpack than my other one here, just my day pack, is pretty light weight. Now, you can bring less stuff, which is why you can go lighter. You can see I don't have a lot here. Still gonna need water, if you're going on a warmer day or a hot day make sure you bring a lot of water cause you don't want to get dehydrated. Still got my rag, oddly enough, you're still going to want to have your rain gear, including your pants and jacket. So, even if it's a nice day out, you can't always predict the weather so make sure you're always prepared, so have some rain stuf. You might want another shirt, and an extra pair of hiking socks because sometimes it's nice to change halfway through your hike, like at lunchtime or something. So, you can bring less stuff, except the kits, always have your kits. Make sure you bring both of them because it doesn't matter if it's warm, stuff can still go wrong. So, for hiking light, warm weather is the best, but make sure you've got a lot of water, still got your rain gear, but you'll just need a little less layering. You can for go the long sleeved shirt maybe, perhaps you'll want to bring a polar fleece but it's not as necessary. So, go light but still be smart."
