They both wore simple sandals made of leather, which were comfortable and practical for traveling in different types of terrain.

As they set out for their journey, they each carried a small pack on their back, It was made of plain brown leather, the packs were large enough to hold a few days' worth of food, a change of clothes, and other essential items. They both had a wooden walking stick which doesn't match their outfit, since none of them are old.
