Backpacking is a fun and refreshing activity that can be fun for the whole family, you may be near the mountains or in your back yard, but no matter where you are it can be a great experience. Combining rock, snow, and ice climbing with hiking and sometimes camping, and it is understandable why it is such a timeless sport.
Using the Internet to research available sites is an ideal tool to determine the areas that are closest to you. Spiked soles that clamp to the soles of your boots, called crampons are required for keeping traction on the ice. Some types of apples for instance, are only good for a day or so before they get too mushy, so pack some good, durable snacks.
It is also strongly recommended that you check all the camping gear before you start on the trip. On the east coast we simply put up with the rain. While we eventually upgraded to an actual popup camper, I can still remember the fun times with family camping tents.
Wear whistles which can be heard for longer distances and learn the few codes of help that are universally known. If you are camping in colder weather the gas type of lanterns would be your best choice because not only do they give of a bright light they also give off a fair amount of heat. If the socks are wet, replace them and hang the wet ones from your pack to dry.
Get out there and unwind. If you are interested in mountain climbing, it is definitely something people everywhere will tell you is worth pursuing!
