You may be miles away from home so make sure you prepare for your camping or hiking trip. Camping and hiking being some of the great American leisure and sporting activities, has constantly changed and evolved throughout the years as technology has also found its way into the high peaks and shrouded forests.
Cutting up apples, separating orange slices, or taking along dried fruits is an excellent, nutritious way to easily have food on hand at all times. My favorite place to hike is the Rocky Mountains. To awaken to birds chirping and the sun rising over a misty horizon is incredible.
You can only take what you can carry, so this will mean that the things that you take will be limited. A good flashlight's size is relatively small and does not take up space at all. On the east coast we simply put up with the rain.
To be honest, on a short hike you can get by with almost any types of shoes or boots. Boots must be water repellent or have a protective coating to keep them from absorbing water. Be aware that the glass globe of all gas and propane lanterns get extremely hot and can give you a serious burn.
If you get knee pains when hiking, the long term solution may be special exercises to strengthen the surrounding muscles. Many campers build lifelong friendships with their camping neighbors and return to the same spot at the same time year after year to reconnect with them.
