    Sleeve - Stay Hydrated Because you're brand spanking new to the whole hiking thing, you might not know that you need to combat all that sweat with water. Similar to alternating shots with water, you should be alternating your complaints with water.

    Output device - Demand DJ Rights If they're making you endure the outdoors, you shouldn't be forced into enduring their sh**ty music taste at the same time. You'll be taking over the speakers today. Everyone knows your music is superior anyways.

    People in nature - Remember why you're here Remembering why showed up in the first place will keep you going when the going gets tough. You're here because you're like, such a good friend. Sometimes your friends like doing things that don't involve blacking out, and that's okay.

    Plant - Bring your fave snacks The key is to eat the snacks only when you reach the end of the hike. Trust us when we say it gives you the incentive to make it to the end. None of that granola sh*t either. We're talking all the PB & J carbs necessary to refuel.

    Smile - Don't forget a liquor boost Nothing like adding a sixpack of beer to give you even more of an incentive. Obvi, don't drink during the actual hike or all that hydration work won't save you. We recommend a low alcohol percentage. Save hard liquor for the club.
