10 Walking Essentials: Keys

You head out the door, pull it shut and utter an obscenity as you realize you just locked your keys in your house or car. We've all been there!

• Make it a ritual to lock your door with the key, then you are assured that you have it when you leave.
• Make spare keys and put them on a keyring that you will keep zipped into your walking jacket or pack.
• Join an auto club that will come unlock your car for you, eventually.
• If you are stopping anywhere along your route, remember to carry any needed keys for that destination as well.
