hiking lesson plan - camping and hiking made easy

All campers will need some type of lantern gas, battery, or candle. Not all food keeps as well as others, and not all is easy to carry on a hiking trip either.

Things to bear in mind include rapid changes in the weather the weather may be fine and sunny, although cool, when you leave to hike to your destination and within minutes a winter storm can blow up. Although hiking on your own can seem like an exiting adventure, it is a lot safer to go hiking in a group. Hiking can be done in any outdoor setting, but I personally love hiking in mountains.

When you ve determined it's secure, you kick your crampon fitted boot into the ice. The indoor rock climbing gym is still ready to provide its challenge. Learn to recognize and remember landmarks and while hiking try to familiarize yourself with your surroundings.

Never use the gas lanterns in the tent. If you are waiting for help to arrive, lay out colorful clothing or your space blanket in an area that is easy to see from above so that rescuers can find you from the air. Campgrounds that are easily accessibly by cars will be free of forest fires and fallen trees.

Many campers build lifelong friendships with their camping neighbors and return to the same spot at the same time year after year to reconnect with them. You should also develop a routine for keeping your feet dry and comfortable.
