What would you bring in your backpack if you were heading on a TREC (trek)?

If I were preparing for a TREC, I would include my sketchbook so I could sketch the landscapes along the way. I would also bring trail mix especially the kind that has tons of M&M’s to keep me energized and motivated. Lastly, I would bring a few long-awaited reads to enjoy during rest stops along the way!
