The Best Camping Gear to Bring When Backpacking

There is nothing worse than finally leaving your job after what appears like the longest time ever, driving forever and a day to your camp spot and beginning to set up camp... and then realize, "Damn it! I forgot the lights... where were they? the lightbox in the garage?" Right now it's getting darkish, your tent isn't yet set up and yes, you forgot the lighter to start out the fire, great. Planning a camping out trip is always exciting and stress filled. I discover that I could hardly ever rest the night time before a large trip. Although I'm super thrilled and giddy and spend the night packaging everything over and over, I nevertheless manage to overlook something. Knowing what things to bring and what never to provide is merely something you understand as you gain experience. When my family/friends first started camping out, nobody acquired any camping equipment aside from a tent. We constantly shared between 12-15 folks into one large double-room tent. Although it has been sufficient for all of us at that time, it was not really efficient at all. It really is as easy to purchase camping gear on the web now since it will be from virtual stores or even your friendly neighborhood Target or Walmart. Not only is there a lot of affordable tents but they are designed so far better with much less loose components and ease-of-setup. Read the full article

The Best Backpacking Europe Routes

An adventurous backpacking  Europe can be an international trip of a lifetime and one to add to your bucket list. I was on the fence when the idea was presented to me, but it didn't take long to change my mind. I was promised by some experienced travelers that backpacking Europe is the only way to go especially if you're looking for gorgeous nature, a cultural melting pot, world-famous sites, and a whole world of adventure. There are few time restraints when you backpack and unparalleled when compared to other ways to travel. There is no right or wrong way to enjoy hiking in Europe, but here is a sample of our route that worked for us. 1. London Our first stop was Heathrow Airport because it is connected to the public transportation that will safely get you to some very famous landmarks. Our first stop was Buckingham Palace and it was even better in person than any picture or video can relay. The home of the Royal family is as incredible on the outside as it is on the inside. We missed the iconic changing of the guards but I hear it's spectacular. Make sure you add it to your "while in London list" as well as the Tower of London, St. Paul's Cathedral, and Westminster Abbey. They, too have historical significance and are must-sees during your hike throughout the city. 2. Paris Trust me on this. Paris, known as the City Of Love is awesome. Take the Eurostar, underground train from London to Paris. Read the full article

Top Amazing Places in Patagonia Chile You Must Visit

When it is winter in the Northern Hemisphere, it is sunny and warm in the Southern Hemisphere. One good way to have a winter vacation is to head to Chile and to Patagonia (that, by the way, also extends to Argentina) and explore nature at its best. One can join a W hike Patagonia tour and explore the most popular circuit of this region with guides to help and arranged accommodation as well as food. Another option is the "O" tour that so many local Chilean tour operators offer. The best way, however, is to set out on your own and explore some amazing places that tour operators do not include in the itinerary. General Carrera Lake Marble Caves Close to the Argentinian border lies General Carrera Lake and here one can find the beautiful marble caves. The experience of getting into a boat and navigating the echoing marble caverns is ethereal and just awe-inspiring. Exploradores Glacier The marble cave tour over one can set off to the Exploradores glacier, possibly by joining a tour from Puerto Rio Tranquilo and trek to the glacier and try to discover new caves. This Glacier is the coolest one for tourists looking to venture out and explore in truly tough conditions. Puyuhuapi's Bay This is one of the tranquil places most tour operators will not include in the schedule but it is a haven of peace and quiet. Read the full article

How To Hike in Bear Country

Maybe you live in an area where a bear encounter may happen and this is holding you back from enjoying a hike. There are ways to prepare for this so that you can stay as safe as possible while enjoying the great outdoors. 1. Go with a partner if possible. There are lots of safety reasons to not head out solo, so if at all possible find someone who will go hiking with you. This said you can still go hiking on your own in bear country, as long as you know what to do. 2. Keep bear spray on you in an easily accessible pocket. 3. Never run. Yes, this does go against human instinct. However, like many other wild animals, if you run this can make a bear give chase. So, you'll want to remain calm and know that walking is best. 4. Don't call attention to yourself. You may have seen on television that people out in the woods call out 'Hey, bear!' to make themselves known and keep the bears away. However, if a bear has already spotted you, it is best to remain calm. Don't throw anything at the bear and do not yell out in any way that may seem like a challenge. If you see a bear when hiking and the animal stands up, sniffs loudly, or stomps his feet, these can all be signs that the bear just wants to find out who you are. This does not necessarily mean that he will attack. The main goal is for you to speak in a calm voice, do not make sudden movements, and slowly walk away while keeping the bear in your line of sight. 5. Read the full article
