I'm answering this question for hiking purposes, like you asked, & not backpacking which is much more inclusive:The basics should include a pack. This one is too small for backpacking @ his experience level, good boots, clothing for layering, a hat for the sun & one for warmth, an emergency kit which includes whistle & space blanket, a first aid kit, a lightweight stove, fuel, a small pot for boiling water, soup packets & tea bags, a Platypus water carrier, sun glasses, sunscreen, high energy food sources, rain gear, gloves. Add a good tent & good sleeping bag for backpacking. DON'T SCRIMP ON QUALITY! GOOD QUALITY GEAR IS WORTH IT'S WEIGHT IN GOLD PLUS IT MAY JUST SAVE HIS LIFE! This is an essential short list. I could go on for quite a bit longer. All his outdoor needs can be found @ backcountry.com.
