There is a lot more to the culture of hiking that may skip many hikers. However, when you are hiking with the pros, there are things that you should never do unless you want to be the least popular hiker on the trail.

Prepare beforehand: It is important that you do research on your perceived hike. This will help you to understand the trail, the weather, what to take and what to expect.
