A stick, some water, and a dog are all you need for that really. Maybe a snack, though if you eat well before and 8-hour hike will make dinner taste amazing. Some of the best food to be had is after a day spent hiking/biking in the mountains with friends. Get to someone's house and have some beers and bbq.
Water, snack, first aid. For a simple 7.5 miles
