Backpacking

Acquiring and applying proper information on a backpacking topic can make or break a successful experience.  I have found backpacking to be one of the most rewarding activities one can engage in. Experiencing the natural world after being engrossed in our civilized world can provide many benefits and detriments. Knowing what to seek, prepare and set up before heading out is paramount. Venturing out into the wild world deserves and demands our respect. One can respect this reality by knowing what to look out for, possible changing conditions, local wildlife and contingency plans for if something goes wrong. Those who are prepared know how they can adapt and overcome the obstacles faced.  Also, knowing what to do prior to hitting the trails makes everything more enjoyable, which is the reason most people backpack in the first place.
