If your hiking involves climbing, there are hiking boots that are designed to accommodate climbing attachments that you may need when crossing steep mountains or icy paths. The first thing that makes hiking more than just exercise is the fact that hiking takes place in nature.
One of the reasons many people starting getting into the great outdoors is to get some physical activity. When camping, you will have to pack extra propane bottles, the older liquid gas lanterns give off just as much light but you will have to refill the tank with liquid gas and this can be messy as well as dangerous if you are not careful. If you have never picked out outdoor camping gear before, you will probably be dazzled by the variety of options.
What you need to carry with you and the type of camping gear necessities you may need depends on the nature of the campsite, weather conditions, duration of the trip and how you are traveling as well. Battery powered lanterns tend to not work well in colder climates as the batteries tend to run down faster due to the cold.
Never use the gas lanterns in the tent. Having the wrong outdoor camping equipment on a rock climbing trip can be very dangerous. Depending on where you are going and how far you are hiking, you may be quite comfortable in a three-season tent.
Chances are, you'll never go back to heavy socks and boots if you get blisters. So always be prepared and try to get into shape before you take on to big of a trail.
