So you’ve just been bitten by the adventure bug and are overpowered by the urge to pack your bags and take off on a journey to connect with nature. But before you do that, you need to make sure you’re prepared for the wild, wild outdoors.

Whether it’s a trek you’re going on or a camping trip, there are some essentials that every adventure travel enthusiast worth his or her salt must have.

Hiking Boots: A good pair of hiking boots is one of the most essential items you’ll need for your outdoor activities. Although most such boots are designed for hiking, they can also be used for other activities like mountaineering, backpacking, climbing, hunting, etc. You’ll be amazed at how many types of hiking boots there are, but you should pick a pair that can be used for most of the activities you plan to pursue.
Camera: When you’re outdoors, you’ll see nature at its best, and to capture some of these moments, you will need a good quality camera. While serious amateur photographers prefer carrying SLR or DSLR cameras, digital point and shoot cameras are usually very convenient and give excellent results.
Swiss Knife: Swiss knife or any other multi-functional pocket knife is one of the most important items on an adventure traveler’s must-have list. The knife usually has a bunch of tools that have several uses from opening bottles to tightening screws. Make sure you always have the knife on your person because you never know when you might need it. The outdoors can be full of surprises!
Rain Gear: Weather can be unpredictable so it’s best to be prepared for any unexpected rain with a good quality rain-proof jacket. There are lots of lightweight varieties available, which can fold up into really small sizes so as not to take up too much room in your luggage or backpack.
First Aid Kit: I cannot emphasize enough the importance of carrying a first-aid kit with items such as bandage, gauze tape, antiseptic creams, sting relief, anti-burn cream, analgesics, antacid, sterile wipes, etc. Don’t even think of stepping out without a fully stocked first aid kit.
GPS Device: The new age substitute for maps and compass, many hikers and campers now prefer handheld GPS navigation devices to figure out their position and routes to destinations. The one thing you’d want to consider when buying such a device is that it is battery operated. And make sure the battery life of the system you buy is sufficient to last you throughout your trip.
Luggage: This is perhaps the single most essential item that an adventure traveler must have. While most prefer large travel packs for their gear, another popular option is a duffle (unless you’re going on a backpacking trip). Large expedition duffles have a lot of capacity to hold all your gear. You should also have a small daypack. Some large travel packs have attached daypacks that can be zipped off. The other option is to buy them separately. The daypack should ideally hold have all the essentials that you might need during your activities such as a water bottle holder, sunscreen, first aid, etc.

Pack Enough Medication When Traveling

Pack light… carry-on only… that’s our mantra, right? OK, but pack enough medication. What’s enough? What does that mean? You’re going on vacation, and while that usually puts you into a sort of carefree, fantasy type of existence for the one or two or three weeks that you’re traveling, being on holiday doesn’t suspend medical reality. You need your medications.

Camping Gear Essentials – Colorado Wilderness Adventure

Edit Article |

]]>

Colorado is one of the most popular hiking destinations in the country. Throngs of backpackers, lugging along their camping gear, take on the various hiking trails leading them to rugged terrains of snowcapped mountain peaks. Outdoor adventurers can choose from short, moderate and easy overnight hiking and campout, to week long adventure along more challenging hiking trails.

The kind and amount of camping gear to bring for this great outdoor adventure depend on the hiking trail you are going to take, the length of time to complete the hike, and the time of the year your are visiting.

Backpackers can choose the trail to Mount Zirkel Wilderness for a peaceful overnight experience in the Routt National Forest. For a perfect spot of peaceful overnight campout, hike about 7 miles out to Lake Elbert and follow the trail leading to Luna Lake, which is an additional 2-mile hike. You can set up your camp along the Lake but make sure to set back your tents 100 feet from the lake and trail. Always include in your camping gear provisions for treating your drinking and cooking water.

You can pack as lightly as possible for this 24 to 36–hour outdoor adventure. Backpackers must bring only the bare essentials for this short and moderate hiking with no major climbs. There are no special specifications for the kind of backpacks to bring for this type of hiking trail. The regular ones are just about appropriate for this outdoor activity. It must be made of strong material to at least keep your articles safe. It must also have sturdy shoulder straps but at the same time comfortable with adequate padding and curves. Zips, usually made of big teeth, must be very durable and strong. The backpack must have a waist strap so that it snugly fits to your body and will not make you uncomfortable while negotiating the more difficult parts of the trail.

While hiking, you must bring along a lightweight tent so you will not be burdened by the extra load of a larger, heavier weight model. You must also consider the season and weather conditions that you expect to encounter during the hike. Hikers can experience inclement weather conditions even during summer so it is advisable to bring tents that would not only provide a high level of human comfort but also the strength of both structure and material to withstand extreme weather conditions. Tents that are totally seam–taped also provide sufficient protection from mosquitoes and flies which are particularly prevalent in July and early August. Campers must bring four-season tents during the winter months. You must also bring a flameless catalytic tent heater to protect you from the breezy winter nights.

Your camping gear must also include additional items like a sleeping pad or inflatable mattress, and fleece sleeping bag liner to go with your sub-zero sleeping bag. Campers can bring any type of sleeping bag, as long as it can provide quality comfort along with high insulation properties. The season rating of the sleeping bag should determine which type to bring along. Campers must bring one with higher season rating during hikes in winter months. Seasoned adventurers prefer sleeping bags which are lightweight but windproof. One final feature of an ideal sleeping bag is that it must have a proper insulation as most heat is lost during the night, by ground and not by the air.

To complete the essentials of your camping gear, you must bring along a radio with a weather band along with a pack of fresh batteries, and a complete first-aid kit in your personal supply box. Bringing along extra food and water, signaling devices, emergency blankets and extra fire starters would also be a wise decision.

The key to a safe and enjoyable outdoor adventure is proper and sufficient preparation-regardless of the season. Happy hiking!

Snowboard Jackets – Pivotal Part Of The Adventure Gears

admin — Sat, 25 Sep 2010 12:23:51 +0000

“Snowboarding” the name alone is enough to promote adrenaline rush in your body. Snowboard jackets are meant to protect body from parky milieu and wind, and pad you against crashes. The sagacious selection of snowboard jacket is the need of the hour. There are myriad of snowboard jackets available in market. It can be insulated, non-insulated, layered, hooded or specially designed for toddlers. Choose them according your requirement and pocket size.

A good snowboard jacket is self sufficient aid for sheathing in nefarious bone chilling blizzard. The best brands for snowboard jackets are Burton, K2 & Salomon. Go grab snowboard jacket with insatiable appetite for snow. There are few person with SAD (season affected disorders), who used to have depression in the cold. Snowboard jacket is right choice sheathing aid to circumvent any such depression.

Electric, Spy optic, Von zipper & Oakley goggles along with snowboarding boots are best complemented with snowboarding jackets to make a perfect outdoor sporting gear for the perfect skiing experience. Though this complete outdoor gear is often very expensive but a shrewd skier can easily save many snowboarding bucks by properly adjusting among all sporting gears.
You’ll find a lot of snowboarding jackets rated around 10,000 for waterproofing and the same for breathability while for insulation you can go for 100g around the body and 60g over the arms. Another common feature is to have the seams contoured meaning that the weaker parts of the jacket i.e. the seams are reinforced to ensure the weather and snow powder stay out! The materials used in the insulation are often polyester and they help enormously in trapping warmth so you can stay dry and comfortable all day long.
Snowboard jackets should be bought as per skier’s personal need, for less adventurous skier a simple forum filled jacket can also solve the purpose. They are rated in 3 main ways – how waterproof they are their breathability and in their insulation. Through these ratings it’s very clear to see the quality of the jacket you’re buying and the weather conditions it will be suitable for.
Choosing which jacket to wear isn’t the most exciting part of the sport. However, it is important. Make sure to weigh all the options and features before you make a purchase. After all, it is better to have something that is going to last through the season than something that will go to threads.
