Healthy Hiker Gear

Are you like me and sometimes like to just get away by myself, without the phone, TV or the computers?

Sometimes I just like to grab my Camping and Hiking Gear, load it in the truck and hit the road. I drive sometimes for hours until I find a new spot to camp that I haven’t been before.

First I grab my Eureka solo tent, my Slumberjack Sleeping bag and sleeping gear, my cooking gear, camping knivcs, flashlights, compass, my water microfilters for clean water treatment, and lastly my backpack.

Just having the quiet time to myself, is so peaceful. I spend a few days, and come back to my job refreshed ready to take on the world. Give it a try and see if you don’t enjoy the one-on-one with Mother Nature.

Outdoor navigation is made easier with the use of a compass. Especially, if you are on unfamiliar territory. Sometimes trails circle around, and it is very easy to get confused.

Never head out camping or hiking without a good compass. Familiarize yourself in using the new compass so if the need arises, you are prepared.

Pictured here is a wonderful Silva Compass. This model is the Silva Ranger Needle Compass. This compass makes it very easy to use. See for yourself.

The type of camping gear necessary depends on the type of trip you have planned.

The best place to start any trip is by making very clean detailed list for your Camping Gear.

We all know the importance of a quality camping tent, sleeping bag, and sleeping pads.

However, by making detailed lists you can make your camping trip as hassle-free as possible. It forces you to think about how will I cook my food? Do I need a tent footprint to protect the tent floor? What types of food will I be cooking, and what kind of cooking gear will I require? What is the best type of compass to take along? On this trip will I need a camp axe or just good quality camping knives?

It is very easy to overlook simple things like a First Aid kit, or a hammer to put in your tent stakes.

Camp lighting is a very important part of camping gear. Using flashlights, lanterns, headlamps, may just save your life in an emergency situation. So be prepared with extra batteries and/or fuel.

And since healthy drinking water is essential, make sure you take along adequate camp drinking water treatments, such as water purifiers, water filters, and purifer tablets to ensure your safe health with clean drinking water.

Apparently all those miners have the right idea, because headlamps are a favorite tool of some of the most avid campers. But what makes these little lights so popular?

LED headlamps are a fantastic way to see what you’re doing in low light situations, while still keeping both your hands free. When you’re camping, that becomes very important. With the aid of a headlight, you can set up your tent, cook, or make a fire all with an adequate amount of light. Flashlights can be bulky to pack and leave you with only one hand to perform your tasks. As an added benefit, headlamps are simple and easy to use. You merely attach the strap to your forehead and turn the bulb on.

The only thing to keep in mind is that you don’t want to be stuck in the woods with a busted headlamp and no alternative light source. Consider packing two headlamps, or stash some extra batteries in case of emergency.

Attitude if half the battle, so just keep your chin up and think positively.

When putting yourself against Mother Nature, the key is to be PREPARED. And to be prepared means a great deal of time thinking and planning before you leave home.

Another key factor to keep in mind is having Outdoor Camping Gear that is rugged and reliable that you can stake your life on.

Pictured here is a Eureka 5th Season Expedition Tent.  It maintains its low and narrow profile for excellent performance in tight spots and windy conditions. Its super-strong exoskeleton frame with color coded poles, super-tough gated carabiners, and post & grommet assembly speed set up, even with gloved hands. A cold weather PU transparent vestibule window brightens the interior. 24-pocket organizer wall, 2 gear lofts and 1 flashlight loop aid storage. Conquer the elements.

Also, Outdoor Clothing can mean the difference between failure and success. Plan for all weather that you may encounter. And never forget your well stocked First Aid Kit.

Another important factor to keep in mind is knowing your intended route and area well. Outdoor Navigation is very important, so make sure you have a good compass, maps, and the knowledge to use them.

ALWAYS PRACTICE THE 5 P’S:

 Proper Preparation Prevents Poor Performance

We hope we have helped you understand important factors of Outdoor Camping Gear and Skills better so the next time you head out on a wilderness adventure you will be prepared for almost anything Mother Nature has to offer.

If you’ve ever been out in the woods, you know it is very easy to get confused. That’s why you should never head out camping, hiking or backpacking with a Silva Compass.

Pictured here is the Silva Ranger Needle Compass which has many terrific built in features.

Known to perform under the most demanding conditions, it has features like a split-sighting mirror, so you get superior accuracy when navigating on distant landmarks. 1:24,000, 1:25,000, and 1:50,000 scales make plotting quick and easy no matter which type of topographic map you’re using. Also, there are 1/20-inch and millimeter rules for mapping and silicone feet for map gripping. You can easily set the geared declination from the bottom of the compass, because the declination is facing you when using the gear screw. The bezel and grip are also convenient and easy to use. The clinometer lets you measure angles of inclination. Other added benefits include: luminous points, cover clip and lanyard with adjustable slider and screwdriver. 2° graduations.

So the next time your ready to head out for your next adventure, but sure to add a Silva Compass and never take the chance of getting lost.
