hiking estes park

Many people think they know what to do if they get lost while camping or hiking yet hundreds each year wander off into the woods unprepared, finding that they do not have the tools that they need to survive in the wild. Sitting under the stars, cooking out, and eating smores can just make any day seem better.

As a couple who have had a great many nights under the stars, there are many essentials that we would not leave home without, starting with a tent and a flashlight for obvious reasons. The LED flashlight will also use less battery power, so that your flashlight lasts longer, and your bulb will burn for many times longer than a traditional bulb, meaning that you won t have to remember to change bulbs out between trips. For these pursuits, you will need a survival knife or a folding pocket knife.

Stocking up on food ration will be required especially on long trips and it is always better to carry a little extra especially when camping with children. Again, online resourses like this dedicated to adventure and travel will be able to provide you with necessary information. Look up the characteristics of each in your guide to determine what they are and how they are useful in nature.

Keep your back pack as light as possible and enjoy your trip. All in all, try to ensure you are well prepared, avoid solo trips the first time, check all your equipment before you leave and get some first aid training.
