A Helpful Guide on Hiking and Backpacking
Camping outdoors, especially while hiking and backpacking, may be strenuous, which implies at some point you may get hungry. Food is one of the best parts of camping, but camp cooking can be intimidating if you are new to the game. Here are a few tips to get you ready for your own outdoor feast!
Many camp cooking newbies are intimidated by the logistics of preparing food outdoors.
Don’t worry. With the right tools, cooking food outdoors can be as easy as cooking at home, for the most part. Whether you need to fry, steam, bake, or roast, most foods you make at home can also be made while camping, if you have the right gear. So, how do you decide what gear you need to bring to the campsite?

Even More About Hiking and Backpacking
When you set out on your hike, you will most likely encounter other hikers along the way. This is a great opportunity to get more information about the area, so take time to ask them about anything you may need to know about. You may be able to learn about where campsites are located, as well as water sources, trail conditions, trail junctions, and maybe even hidden spots and special interest areas related to hiking and backpacking.
Hiking Preparation Tips
Sometimes hiking becomes a full-contact sport and injuries occur. It’s best to keep a small medical kit, something that can be stored in a fanny pack. You can also store other necessities in this pack, such as a compass, multi-tool, a space blanket, lighter, food, etc. Pack extra clothing if you are hiking during fall or winter.
Duct tape is another item that may come in handy. Many serious hikers wrap extra duct tape around their trekking pole just in case they get into a situation where they may need to repair a shoelace, a bag strap, or a fire bow.
Preparing for a hike can be a large task, and this list is not meant to be comprehensive. Hiking and backpacking are much more enjoyable when you are properly prepared. Now, get your pack together and hit the trail!
