camping starved rock

If you have experience rock climbing, you may just think it is a hop, skip and jump to being able to handle ice climbing. Before setting out on your camping or hiking expedition check and then double check your gear for the most relevant items you will need on the trip.

When camping, you will have to pack extra propane bottles, the older liquid gas lanterns give off just as much light but you will have to refill the tank with liquid gas and this can be messy as well as dangerous if you are not careful. Yes, blisters are a discomfort but poor quality boots can cause problems far worse. Also be sure to bring equipment and supplies in case of emergency or accident.

Make sure to bring along a first aid kit complete with sterile bandages, gauze and disinfectant. The best lantern to use inside a tent is a battery style. Perhaps the biggest thing you need to accept is you need to climb with others that are experienced.

Map and compass are a good idea of course, and tell someone where you'll be. Many a flashlight has been broke because the kids accedently dropped it on the ground.
