Backpacking is an enjoyable way to experience nature and access
remote terrain. The folks at Camp Trails offer the following tips to
help you get started:
Study a map or guide to know the terrain you'll be hiking and
estimate the time it will take to arrive at your destination. Pad your
estimates with extra time to account for delays.
Obtain necessary permits and reserve campsites in advance, and
check local regulations to avoid fines. Know the area's weather patterns
and accommodate for time of year. Always be prepared for the worst
weather.
Remember, it's very easy to perspire, even in the winter, so
dress appropriately in layers and be prepared for changing conditions,
temperature changes at higher altitudes, and evenings. Avoid wearing
jeans or cotton clothing. Wear polypropylene, wool or other breathable
materials that wick moisture away and dry quickly.
Always pack rain gear.
Get to know your gear before heading out. Seam-seal the tent and
familiarize yourself with its design and set-up. Learn how to operate
your stove so you're not caught in the dark or the rain trying to figure
it out. Know what you can carry and how long you can carry it without
straining yourself. The pack shouldn't weigh more than 25 percent of
your weight, so take only what you need.
