vw campers ground rules

If hiking is on your itinerary, selecting a good pair of boots is a worthwhile investment. What better way of experiencing the raw beauty of nature than through careful planning and preparation of a good camping or hiking excursion.

Always dress appropriately in layers for winter camping. Spiked soles that clamp to the soles of your boots, called crampons are required for keeping traction on the ice. Be sure to stretch before you go hiking and take break often.

Candles will are the most cost effective form of light but you have to be very careful not to start a fire with them. 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.

To be honest, on a short hike you can get by with almost any types of shoes or boots. If you think mountaineering may be something that you are interested in, there are a few things to do to start pursuing the sport. Many of the patrons of climbing gyms are serious climbers practicing skills and keeping themselves in physical shape.

You have to experience a great camping trip to understand, but it will give you an entirely new view of the world, Mother Nature and your life. 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.
