pilot mountain, nc hiking trail

Preparing for outdoor vacations requires some forethought as far as items you will need. The average camper may get to spend ten or twenty days per year sleeping out in the great outdoors.

In general, if a higher quality camping tent is needed the more dollars should be allocated. Not only is hiking fun and refreshing it is also very good for you. You may be able to stay in your car and you may even prepare to be outdoors, but spend your nights in the motel.

To prepare for a hiking trip, sometimes I train on a bike as it uses a lot of the same muscles you use when hiking uphill. Battery powered lanterns tend to not work well in colder climates as the batteries tend to run down faster due to the cold. When it comes to hiking boots look for resort level quality for you feet.

Just don t assume skills in one niche translate to the other. Indoor climbing is a safe way to get a feel for the sport of rock climbing.
