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.

Wilderness Survival depends totally upon you and your knowledge. Do you know what to do if you are lost and alone? Learn from these simple rules:

1. Never Panic

Sit down and collect your thoughts. Relax and let the anger and frustration get out of your system.

2 . Check your Survival Kit

Never leave home without preparing a Survival Kit–which includes a First Aid Kit.

3. Look Around

Notice if you are out in the open so searchers can spot you

4. Make a Plan of Action

Keeping warm should be your number one priority. Formulate what to do first. Make a shelter, build a fire, find water, and signaling for help.

5. Keep a Positive Attitude

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

6. Stay Put and Wait For Help

By moving around, you may become even more confused. It is important to know how to navigate with and without a Compass. Silva Compasses are some of the best you can buy.

Hopefully, this information will help you in event you ever get lost. Learn and teach your family and friends Wilderness Survival Skills.

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.

Always be prepared for the worst!

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.
