Nobody is born as an experienced camper or hiker. For those interested in an exciting outdoor adventure in the cooler weather, winter camping may be the choice for you.
Always dress appropriately in layers for winter camping. Although some indoor rock climbers do not ever make the step into outdoor climbing, indoor climbing gyms provide learning and practicing venues for those planning on taking it outdoors. Bring a survival kit and first aid kit.
Dress in layers starting with a thin layer of clothing against your skin. To start, you can get by with basic hiking equipment such as rations, tents and sleeping bags. These knives can be simple small pocket knives as long as they get the job done, but keep in mind that skimping on your knife could mean skimping on the tool best suited to ensure your survival.
Be sure the lantern you buy is weather proof. Matches will be needed to light a fire if you are planning on camping out on your hiking trip or if you get lost. The flashlight LED technology makes sure that the bulb does not die out, at least for a particular number of hours, which is in the thousands.
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. There are so many more constellations to gaze at when you get away from the light pollution of the cities and suburbs.
