Camping, Tenting, Hiking in The Great Outdoors - This Old Tent

Camping, Tenting & Hiking are great ways to get back in touch with nature and your inner self...

HIKING   BACKPACK - JUST THE BASICS, MAM

The backpack rests like a large purse on the hiker's back and depending on the brand and the contents of the backpack, it can be as light as a peacock's  feather or as heavy as a witch's caldron. I once crammed too much into my backpack, and by the time I reached the campground for the evening, I looked like Quasi's sister.

We suggest that you fill your backpack with lightweight items. Rather than load it with water (which is basically dead although necessary weight), attach a water bottle around your waist. You'll also be wise to avoid melting objects in warmer weather.

Another disadvantage of the backpack is that it tends to lock in heat, something unwelcome during hot weather.  

Some suggestions that you might like to pack include: peanut patty (doesn't easily melt yet it's packed with energy), jerky, salted potato chips, and 'Hard as Thy Noggin' Bread'   - a great hiking recipe from our sister site The Medieval Diet.

Keep in mind that as you expend calories and precious fluids, you'll need to replace those to avoid getting ill. Take in plenty of fluids, get a little salt, and eat a banana or a potato for lost potassium at the end of your hike.

Arizona Angels - (95 pages) Throwing the door open she encountered Bowie's towering form, his large arm extended, Lee dangling in mid air like a large spider. Lynx gasped, her hands going out to rescue the squawking child.

" This demonic little hooligan was window peeping into the honeymoon cottages! God only knows what she saw, but she seemed quite satisfied," he went on, his eyes scorching over Lynx's shocked face.   click to read
