alpine design sleeping bag - do it right the first time

Whether you use a tent, RV, cabin, or lay out under the stars, you will find that camping can help you to get in tune with all the nature that is around you. There is something very powerful about nature and being in nature.

I like an occasional break from the madness of the city, and like to go out for a camping or hiking trip. Cutting up apples, separating orange slices, or taking along dried fruits is an excellent, nutritious way to easily have food on hand at all times. Be sure to stretch before you go hiking and take break often.

Carry sufficient bottled water and also carry along a few water purifying tablets for any emergencies. Battery powered lanterns tend to not work well in colder climates as the batteries tend to run down faster due to the cold. Your handy dandy axe is going to be critical and you need to master the technique before even thinking of climbing.

You could sneak in there before everyone else did, and pretend it was your own little home. A good flashlight is certainly one of the bare necessities of camping life. When it comes to hiking boots look for resort level quality for you feet.

If you are planning on building a firepit, look for a clearing or firepits that have already been in use. Map and compass are a good idea of course, and tell someone where you'll be.
