So you may wish to bring multiple wires. Te Buddipole/Buddistick work on multiple bands but are a lot less portable. As a small person I usually tend to go for the lighter EFHW antenna if I am hiking. Hi JD,

Since, I am a new ham, being able to see all of the different things in person really helped me learn a lot. I might get into QRP soon. No plans yet for Field Day. Hi WB2IFS,
