Equipment For Backpacking or Hillwalking

- by Zoey Nathan

A backpacking load does not need to be a back-breaking load even though you have to carry everything you need for camping as well as walking. Keeping the weight down can be done in two ways.

The Weight Of Each Part Of The Equipment Is Very Important

The weight of each part of your equipment, from the tent to your spoon, is important. For days of walking the weight difference between, say, one jacket and the other doesn’t matter much. For backpackers, on the other hand, a little extra weight on each tooth bit can add a sizable amount on the back. If you can’t decide between two dental items, always choose the lighter one. Most stores can tell you how heavy a tent is (though not always accurate) but few know the weight of the clothes they stock.

Taking along a small spring balance for weighing gear when you …

Everything To Plan For Your Adventure Tours and Camps

Going to summer camp can be an entertaining learning experience for adolescents. They can attend a traditional summer camp where they can choose their favorite activities (such as outdoor recreation, arts, and crafts) from a list and spend as much or as little time on each activity as they choose. Teens having a certain interest can join specialized camps that target their instruction on one activity.

Participating in an adventure tour for teens is perfect for high school aged students that are interested in traveling and adventure. Nevertheless, a true adventure camp provides more than common activities like rock climbing, high rope courses, kayaking or mountain biking. Adventure camps give teens once-in-a-lifetime chances to learn something unique and could involve touring different states or countries.
