cabinet mountains wilderness hiking

Nobody is born as an experienced camper or hiker. Indoor climbing takes place on a simulated rock wall located in an indoor gym.

A long hike places a lot of stress on your ankles and feet which is transmitted through your legs. You will want an LED flashlight instead of a regular flashlight for several reasons. Overnight camping trips are a good idea as by the end of the trip you have a fair idea of what all you need and it will help you prepare a checklist, which can be referred to for future trips.

Make sure to bring along a first aid kit complete with sterile bandages, gauze and disinfectant. Water purification tablets are a must on any camping trips. Jeans get soaked easily in the rain and stay wet, which is uncomfortable, and can be dangerous if it is cold outside.

You will need to replace shoes every so often, but it is really a minor expense compared to other sports. Keep your back pack as light as possible and enjoy your trip.
