The Trail Essentials Bundle is the simplest way to gear up for your first day hikes and trail walks in Canada — one box that covers carrying, organising and walking, without piecing it together part by part. At the centre are two matching aluminium trekking poles (you pick the colour, and both poles ship in that colour). Made from lightweight 6061 aluminium with a three-section design, they collapse down for transport and take the load off your knees on descents, uneven ground and longer-than-expected trails — the single biggest comfort upgrade most new hikers notice. Carrying everything is a 40L + 5L hiking backpack sized for full-day outings and light overnighters, with room for layers, water, food and a first-aid kit and an expandable collar when you need extra space. Inside, a roll-top waterproof dry bag keeps your phone, power bank, documents or spare socks dry if the weather turns. Who it's for Anyone moving from casual walks to real trails — first-time hikers, students, and gift-buyers who want a complete, no-guesswork day-hiking kit for provincial parks, conservation areas and shoulder-season trails. Why buy it as a bundle Every piece is chosen to work together and priced below the combined regular value, so you save versus buying each item on its own. Ships from Canada, qualifies for free shipping over $149, and is backed by our 14-day return window. Open each product above to see full specifications and the pole colour options.
