One thing I have learned in recent years is how truly effective the pack a backpack trip. Many people who go on the package and a week's journey on foot, often made fun of packaging, packaging for car-camping. Every year, I am preparing my backpack, and wander in the desert, and every year I regret some things, some things forgotten, and learn a lot. Living at an altitude of 12,000 feet for a week and not near electricityrunning water, a soft bed, or any other luxury, it gives you enough time for bringing about what you think. Even more, what has not been set!

Because packaging, good things so important? First, the weight and volume! If you pack, you have to bear the entire trip, up and down the hills and the endless loop, jumping streams and climbing! How can you bear to wear depends on your fitness, but also the most zealous Outback miners asTravel lightly. Secondly, you want to make sure you get what you need without going overboard. These ensure the safety and warmth and protection. So we will take what you need for your trip Pack!

The same backpack, I'm not a big donor, and I'm not spending $ 500 or $ 600 dollars to a backpack. Whatever you decide whether you think the package Beefy zippers, sturdy fabric, seams and many strong arguments. There isbe big enough or stretch to keep all data. Find a man backpack 70-80 liters in volume, and a pack of women at least 60-70 liters.

Clothing: When hiking in summer, use a minimalist. Try to reduce it to two shirts, two pants, one shorts, boots, hat, hat, 4 pairs of socks, a windbreaker or light jacket and a lightweight plastic poncho or a raincoat. could bring some 'deep sleep. This should be sufficient for at least one week beforethe hills, and you can wash together, wearing each other. Light a hat and sunglasses are indispensable as well!

Food: dry is the way to go! This Mylar doubled in a plastic bag that is really boiling water to cook inside soon, especially the taste damn good! There are many brands available in the market of sports or at your local superstore. One thing I do is put a small hole in top of bag to let out air and seal 'Pinhole with a piece of tape backup. Therefore, you can even closer, saving valuable space packaging, especially when you are prompted to enter your food loading test cartridge pack. The mayonnaise is good for sandwiches, and oil in it is great for cooking. Get a drink mix powder, or a power or sports drink mix powder. Pita bread and packages of tortillas and no spam, dry salami, beef jerky and trail mix. Oatmeal is a fast and easy for the morning sessions and some Hard Candy is always awelcome. Finally, if you plan to transport alcohol to drink, try one of the highest rates of alcohol per volume of liquid such as Bacardi 151 to do. Romantic as it sounds, the wine is not always convenient. For wine lovers like you, but, regardless, distributors of wine in plastic foldable to close and are very resistant.

Food: I think the best type of stoves for hiking, one of those butane / propane. You know, the tour is offBoxes with the nipple up. Are easy to operate and you can get fuel anywhere. Be sure to make a plastic cup of medium size, a good fork and a spoon and a plastic spatula. For pots and pans, just something cheap and easy, with folding handles and nonstick coating. Camelback drinking system is also a good idea.

Tools and more: You need at least two disposable lighters and a flashlight or headlamp head wear. The tent should be as small as possible,It should bring a map of the route. When traveling with a large group, consider the small walkie talkies FRS. first aid kit should also bandages, medicines for diarrhea, acetaminophen or ibuprofen, and drugs, and do not forget sunscreen and insect repellant! Also be sure to put a filtration of water, so do not get sick!

So, in closing, it will be practically the packaging bag! This is not a fashion show and after a few days, will not be long before yourThe clothes are dirty and do not have a hot shower in a week! Enjoy your adventure and dream of sleeping on hard ground again and again to civilization!

Hiking & Backpacking Tips

Pack and Equipment

There are two basic pack types, internal and external frame.

The internal frame pack has superseded the external frame as the most popular type, though both have their pros and cons.

One of the advantages of the internal frame is that it is less prone to “snagging” if you are hiking through

heavily vegetated areas. It will also tend to sit more comfortably on your back as it is more form fitting than the external frame type and will make for better balance. Being closer fitting, this of course will trap more body heat, which often is not a bad thing.

The external frame packs are wider and therefore easier to load gear into and then to access it.

They will also sit ‘cooler’ on your back.

Don’t haul unnecessary gear. Go through each piece of your equipment and clothing before you start

and determine whether it is really necessary or whether another item you are carrying can double for

both tasks. e.g., one pot, cup, and a spoon should cover all your culinary needs. Clothing can double as

a pillow etc.

Consider the use of dehydrated type foods as they will save a lot of weight. Bear in

mind though, that they will require a water source to prepare them.

Lining your pack with a large plastic rubbish bin bag is a cheap and efficient way to help keep the

contents dry. Pack covers have limited success in heavy rainfall, none in river crossings, and are an

extra piece of gear that you have to haul.

As a general rule, load your pack with the heaviest items towards the top and close to your back.

This will lift the weight higher on your back making for an easier load to balance and carry.

Make sure that any items that may be needed in a hurry (heavy weather clothing, gloves, med kit,

etc.) are easily accessible and not buried in your pack.

The weight from a heavily loaded pack can sometimes cause the adjustment of the shoulder straps

to continuously “slip”, dropping the pack down your back – consider adding small strips of

hook & loop (velcro) tape to the ends of the straps and to a fixed non moving part of your pack,

(e.g., waist belt or standing part of the strap) so that the ends of the straps can be easily “locked”

down holding them in the desired position.

Plastic soft drink bottles (Coke etc.) make excellent water bottles. They are cheap, extremely

strong and almost weightless.

When empty they can be flattened to take up less pack space – blowing into them will return

them to normal shape.

An accessible way to carry a full 2 litre bottle, is to loop a cord noose around its neck, attaching

the other end of the cord to one side of the pack and running it across the top of the pack with the

bottle hanging on the opposite side. The bottle is then secured from “swinging” by a collar of

hook & loop (velcro) tape that is attached to the pack and secured around the lower part of the bottle.

Fire Lighting

It’s good practice to carry an easy means of cooking, such as a light camping stove along with fuel

and source of ignition. This way you are not dependent on weather conditions and availability of

natural fuel. However, there may be times when you have to build a fire from available material.

There are several methods and means of starting fire, amongst them friction methods, but they all

require time, a degree of skill and correct materials. However, here are a few easy ’sure fire’ methods

of getting results…

Carry a few rubber bands cut from old bicycle inner tubes. These can act as “fire lighters” if

kindling is scarce or is wet. They will burn for some time and can also double as ‘elastic bands’ if

required.

Cotton balls impregnated with petroleum jelly also make good fire starters.

Carry matches, along with a strip of abrasive in a waterproof tubular plastic film canister.

Carry a candle stub – this will save matches and will burn for longer.

A small magnifying glass can be used for igniting tinder on sunny days.

Waterproof matches can be bought, or you can make your own by sealing conventional matches in

layers of wax, in effect making miniature candles that will be waterproofed and also burn

longer.

Small gas lighters are convenient and the spark from them may be of use even when empty of gas.

Always strike your match in cupped hands, facing into the wind and with the head of the match in

a downward position.

Light your kindling on the windward side so that the flame is blown into the material.

Before starting your fire, gather and prepare enough fuel to keep it going.

If there is no small kindling available, kindling can be made by shaving a larger piece of timber

or stick. i.e., use your knife to slice a series of small thin “wings” on the surface of a larger stick.

The thinner “wings” will ignite easier and in turn ignite the larger body of the stick. This can be

helpful if the available wood is a bit damp or too large for using as kindling.

Make sure your fire gets sufficient oxygen by not building it too densely.

One method is to build a small platform of twigs an inch or so above the ground, supported at the

edges. Load the platform with tinder material (pine needles, smaller twigs, dry moss) then build a

pyramid or tepee of kindling sticks over and around this.

Once the fire is established, larger fuel can be added.

Clothing

Lightweight “layers” that can be removed or added to is the best method – along with a good wind/rain

outer garment shell, preferably of breathable material.

Avoid cotton clothing. It will dry slowly and will be cold and heavier if worn when wet – use synthetic

materials such as polyprop or its equivalent. These are light, warm when wet and dry out rapidly. The

only cotton you may want to carry is maybe a light long sleeved shirt for sun protection. This applies to

jeans material as well, there are better alternatives. (long pants made from quick drying material, or

hiking shorts)

Headgear. This is necessary for sun protection and also for insulation in cold weather – the

majority of body heat is lost through the head and neck areas. Carry separate headgear for differing

conditions – a brimmed hat for sun protection and beanie/balaclava for cold weather insulation.

Footwear

Make or type will vary with individuals preferences and intentions.

For extended trips carrying a heavy pack consider a leather boot such as produced by Asolo, Garmont etc. These will give the desired support and will also stand the rigours of being submerged in river crossings, or the attachment of crampons if ever needed.

Care should be taken to get the correct fit. Unfortunately, the only foolproof method of knowing you

have a correct fit is to hike in them!

However, the following points may help in selecting and using your footwear…

When selecting your boot, always wear the socks that you will be hiking in. Tap your foot

forward in the unlaced boot and you should be able to easily get a finger down between the back

of your foot and the boot. This will indicate the space you will have between the end of your toes

and the front of the boot.

Take out the boot’s insert, place the insert on the floor and stand on it – this will give you a good

visual on how your foot fits inside the boot. Remember, your foot will spread and expand when

you are hiking and carrying any weight.

Lace the boot up and walk around in it – some stores have an inclined area to see how the boot feels.

There should be no undue movement around the heel area, but the boot should also not feel as if it is

cramping the foot anywhere, particularly in the toe area.

Take into account that there will be a certain amount of “give” in leather.

As a general rule, you will want your boots at least one size bigger than your normal “town” shoes.

Always take care of your boots with a good application of protectant before and after a hike.

When they get wet, let them dry out naturally and they should last you for many miles.

Many prefer to wear two pairs of socks. A thin inner pair of synthetic material that will wick

moisture away from the foot and an outer thick hiking sock. This double sock method will help in

preventing blisters, as any foot slide will be more protected.

Flipflops make good camp footwear. They are cheap, extremely light and will allow your feet to air at the end of a day.

Navigation

It is always a good idea to carry a compass and a map of the area you are entering and also to learn how to use them.

A GPS is an excellent aid to navigation especially if going off trail, but it should be looked upon as an aid – equipment that relies on electricity is always open to battery or component failure, and in the case of a GPS, also an inability to receive a signal due to terrain features or overhead tree canopy.

If you lose or damage your compass, you can use your watch to get a good indication of direction.

If in the Northern hemisphere, point the hour hand of your watch at the sun and exactly halfway between the hour hand and the numeral twelve on your watch will be South.

(Use your imagination to superimpose the numerals on the face of your watch if you are using a digital watch!)

If in the Southern hemisphere, point the numeral twelve of your watch at the sun and exactly halfway between the twelve and the hour hand will be North.

To travel in a straight line, sight an object on the bearing you wish to travel (tree, rock, terrain feature) and then head towards it. When you reach it, repeat the process on another object. This will prevent you tending to circle off course.

Lastly, whether hiking in company or hiking solo, always advise someone who cares, of what your intended movements are and when you intend to be back out.

The more you hike the more you will find out what works for you and what modifications can be made.

Hopefully the above tips will be of some help in enjoying the outdoors.

Hiking & Trekking Tips

Pack Equipment

There are two basic types of packaging, the environment inside and outside.

The internal frame pack has replaced the external frame, as the most popular type, although both have their advantages and disadvantages.

One of the advantages of the single market context, are less likely to "stick" when you walk in
areas of dense vegetation. It is also more comfortable to sit on the back as it should, as a form of frame type and externalensure a better balance. Be more severe, the body heat of this trap will be more, obviously, that is often not a bad thing.

External frame packs are wider and therefore easier to load in motion, and therefore access.

They may also feel "fresh" on the back.

Do not draw the necessary tools. Go through every part of your equipment and clothing before starting
and determine if it is really necessary or if another element that can carry twice
both functions. For example, a vase, a cup and a spoon should be on all your culinary needs. Clothing can double the
a pillow, etc.
Consider the use of dehydrated foods such as save a lot of weight. Keep
Spirit, however, that the source of water needed for preparation.

Plastic food bag with a large trash bag is an inexpensive and effective way to help
Solids. The pack includes a limited success due to strong rain, no one in fordsand are
extra equipment to tow you.

In general, load your package with the heavier elements and off your spine.
You will have the greatest burden on the brand back for an easier to distribute the load and transport.

Make sure that all the elements necessary in an emergency (CAN, bad weather, gloves, med kit,
etc.) are easily accessible and not buried in the pack.

The weight of a heavily loaded pack can sometimescause the adjustment of the shoulder straps

to continuously “slip”, dropping the pack down your back – consider adding small strips of

hook & loop (velcro) tape to the ends of the straps and to a fixed non moving part of your pack,

(e.g., waist belt or standing part of the strap) so that the ends of the straps can be easily “locked”

down holding them in the desired position.

Plastic soft drink bottles (Coke etc.) make excellent water bottles. They are inexpensive and highly
strong and almost weightless.
If they take up less space on the pack empty apartment – that blows again
its normal form.

In an accessible way to bring a bottle of 2 liters is in a loop of a rope noose around his neck, tightening
the other end of the cable on one side of the package and that runs on top of the window with
Bottle hanging on the opposite side. The bottle is then handed off to "a necklace with a guarantee
Self-grip (Velcro) tape that is affixed to the packaging and secure around the bottom of the bottle.

Fires

And 'good practice, a simple way of cooking that lead as a lightweight camp stove with fuel
and a source of ignition. You are not dependent on weather conditions and the availability of

To get results …

Perform some rubber bands cut from old inner tubes. This is an appetizer "fire" if
Ignition is scarce or is wet. Will burn for some time and may also serve as "elastic" when
required.

Wad of cotton soaked in Vaseline also goodFire Starter.

Start with a strip of abrasive in a waterproof plastic tube container.

Enter save a candle – which is to burn longer.

A magnifying glass can be used to ignite the tinder on sunny days.

Waterproof matches can be purchased or you can make your own classic games from the closure
Layers of wax, which concluded the mini-candles, which are impregnated, and burn
more.

Spark gas lighters are small and cheap can be useful, even when they are empty of gas.

Always strike your match in the palm of his hand in the wind and with the head of game
down.

Their light the fire on the windward side, so that the flame is blown into the material.

Before preparing to collect your fire, and enough fuel on board to operate.

If you can make available in the event of ignition of small bundlesbe made by shaving a larger piece of wood
or floor. This means that you can use the knife for a series of small, thin "wings" band on the surface of a bigger stick.
Wings "more subtle and highly flammable and, in turn switch on the larger body of the stick. This may
useful if the available wood is slightly damp or too large to be used as kindling.

Make sure that the fire becomes enough oxygen through the building, not too dense.

One method is to a small platform of twigs an inch or two to buildsupported above the ground,
Edges. Load the platform with bait material (pine needles, twigs, dry moss) then build a
Pyramid or tepee fire to the tent poles above and around them.
Once the fire is established, more fuel may be added.

Clothes

Light "layers" which can be removed, or is the best way – with a good wind / rain
Garment outer shell materials preferably breathable.

Avoid cotton clothing. ItDrying is slow and cold and heavy when worn wet – the use of summary
Materials such as polypropylene or an equivalent degree. They are light, warm when wet and dries quickly. The
can only cotton that you want to do is maybe a light long-sleeved shirt for sun protection. This applies to
Denim, and there are better alternatives. (long pants or material dries quickly
Shorts)

Headgear. This is for sun protection and also for the necessaryInsulation in cold weather —
Most body heat through the head and neck lose. Carry different hairstyles for different
Conditions – a hat to wear sunscreen and a hat / balaclava for insulation in cold weather.

Shoes

Make or the type of people with different preferences and intentions.

For long trips with a heavy leather boots like Asolo Garmont consider, etc. This will produce the desired mediaand also the difficulties of being in the fords, or mounting studs under water if necessary.

Should be the safety to get the right fit. Unfortunately, the only safe method, Knowing You "
obtain a correct measure is to walk in them!
However, they can help in the selection and use of shoes …

In the selection of the boat, always wear the socks you the migrant-tap on the foot
arc and tiedMust be able to easily with a finger between the rear
feet and shoes. This shows that you have the space between the tips of the fingers
and the front of the shoe.

Remove insert boot deposit on the ground and can support – this will give you a good
Visual how to adjust his foot in the shoe. Keep in mind that you extend the foot and when distributed
Walk and not a burden.

Lacer Boot and walk in it –Some shops have seen an inclined surface, as the boat feels.
There should be no unnecessary movement around the area of the heel, but the boat should not feel as if
Cramps everywhere, especially in the area of the tip.
Keep in mind that will provide a degree of "in the skin.

In general, there are your shoes at least one size larger your normal "city" shoes.

Always take care of your shoes with a good application of brominatedbefore and after a short hike.
If they are wet to dry, and, of course, if you take several miles.

Many prefer to wear two pairs of socks. A pair of thin plastic interior that wicks

Avoid bulbs, like every foot will slip more secure.

Flip-flop shoes do right. They are inexpensive, very light and allows the feet in the airat the end of a day.

If you lose or damage the compass, you can use your clock to get a good indication of direction.

If it is in the Northern Hemisphere, show time of waking to the sun and exactly halfway between the hour and the number of twelve, that the south of the clock.

(Use your imagination to superimpose the figures on the front of your watch, if you use a digital watch!)

If, in the southern hemisphere that show point to the clock at noonSun and will be exactly halfway between the south and work north.

For travel in a straight line, to display an object on the basis that you want (structure, travel, rock, characteristic of the field) and then against him. When you reach, then repeat the operation on another object. This will prevent you tend to turn the track.

Finally, if walking or hiking alone in company, always advise someone who cares, what are your movements and when you want to be backout.
