Wear sturdy footwear
Paths are uneven and can be muddy; hiking shoes or boots protect ankles and keep you comfortable during the short walk.

Bring a small purchase bag
If you plan to buy truffles after the hunt, a compact bag keeps them safe and preserves aroma.
Sturdy hiking shoes

Long trousers
Shields legs from bramble, ticks and underbrush during the search.
Compact camera or smartphone
