Good For Beginners: Cheap Backpacking Gear
Posted: Jan 20, 2010 |Comments: 0
| Views: 116 |
]]>
Beginning backpackers should not always go out and buy the most expensive equipment for backpacking, since they do not yet know if the sport will be one that they will continue throughout their life or if they will be done with it after their first real excursion. Plus, even experienced backpackers do not necessarily buy the most expensive supplies, knowing that the medium or even cheap backpacking gear suffices in most situations.
How Cheap is Cheap?
There are some items that a consumer can not get around paying close to one hundred dollars for, such as the tent. A solid tent is essential, so even when looking for cheap backpacking gear, a buyer should not go too cheap. One solid tent is the Granite Gear Vigra that runs at close to one hundred dollars.
A couple of other choices are the Osprey Ather 45 or the GoLite Jam. All of these tents are also light, at about thirty ounces. Check backpacking gear reviews for other tents that have the same features as these do and look for sales. Another essential item that is on the more expensive side is the tarp, which runs at about fifty dollars. Beyond this, a ground cloth and stakes will run about twenty dollars, putting the total amount for shelter just under two hundred dollars.
Another essential item when looking for cheap backpacking gear is the sleeping bag. This is another item on which a buyer does not want to go too cheap. A solid sleeping bag that is rated at 20F will cost right around one hundred dollars as well, although sale priced it may be found for a little less than that. However, with a sleeping bag, weight can also be an issue, so look for bags that are right at thirty ounces.
Kitchen supplies and other small items are the least expensive of all the cheap backpacking gear. A Pepsi stove and pot can be found for about twelve dollars. Additional cooking pot, ‘silverware’ and water containers will run about thirty dollars total. Flashlights, maps and other small items will probably run another ten dollars or so, and hopefully most of the clothing is already owned or can be borrowed, depending on the weather conditions.
All in all, the total cost to outfit a beginner backpacker with gear for a basic backpacking camping trip is right at four hundred dollars. Even at four hundred dollars, this is a significant expense for a hobby that may only be done once. Beginners would be even better off borrowing supplies from friends or renting from an outdoor supply company to go on a couple of trips before making the investment on their own.

Different Types of Travel Agencies
The main function of any travel agency is to, of course, act as an agent. This includes selling tickets and travel products, reservations, and so on, on behalf of one or several suppliers. Travel agents generally work with no charge to the traveler him or herself. Rather, the travel agent takes a small commission from the overall cost. Again, this isn’t added on top of the sale or anything like that. Rather, their commission is taken out of the advertised price.

The Smaller Gear: Backpacking Gear Review
Posted: Jun 07, 2010 |Comments: 0
|
]]>
For a novice backpacker, the larger backpacking camping gear needed is fairly obvious: tent, pack, and sleeping bag. It is always good to follow a backpacking gear review when choosing those items in order to make an informed decision. The smaller items needed in order to have an enjoyable backpacking excursion are the ones most likely to be forgotten by beginner hikers and campers. These smaller items fall into three categories: clothing/wearable’s, kitchen items, and miscellaneous but still essential items.
Clothing and Wearable’s
The focus of this backpacking gear review is weather conditions around 30F. For warmer or colder conditions, clothing choices would vary while the wearables will remain fairly constant.
There are certain items of clothing that should be carried in the pack, even though clothing can be bulky and add to the overall weight of the pack. Clothing carried should not weigh more than fifty ounces altogether in order to keep the pack weight within an enjoyable weight to carry for longer distances.
Extra socks that wick water away are essential for warmth. Rain pants and jackets are also essential, but the material should be breathable. In addition, an insulated vest is essential for keeping the core of the body warm and a neck gaiter or hat is also needed for keeping in the heat.
Again, all of these items can be found in particular in a backpacking gear review to decide on which brand is the one desired. Overall, clothing should be as warm, light and keep the backpacker as dry as possible.
Wearables include the layered and breathable clothing, boots and hat that a hiker normally wears. According to various backpacking gear reviews, boots need to be flexible in the soles for natural movement in the feet, but also give strong ankle support.
The main issue with boots is that they are ultra comfortable and as light as possible. Other wearables are sunglasses, which are essential, not only for the sun but the glare of the sun off of the snow. Sunscreen, a compass, and a whistle are other essential items to have along.
Kitchen Items
The main item, of which there are multiple backpacking gear reviews, is a camping stove. There are many opinions about the type of stove that is best. The overall consensus regarding cooking stoves is that they are light, they are stackable, that they require as little fuel as possible, and that they have the capacity to melt snow at a reasonable rate.
When shopping for stove, keep all of these factors in mind. In addition, any cookware, such as a pot or utensils should also fit neatly inside of each other for more compact packing.
Miscellaneous
Miscellaneous items include the water purification system, of which a backpacker must decide what works best. Boiling water is an option, but is tedious and time consuming. Tablets are another option, but they leave a certain flavor in the water. A water filtration system is heavier than tablets, but does not leave a flavor. Beyond that, a first aid kit and chap stick are beneficial to have on hand at all times.

Cruise Vacations vs. Ordinary Vacations
Cruise vacations are becoming more and more popular with each passing year. Years ago cruises were viewed as the ultimate luxury vacation, only enjoyed by the fabulously wealthy, or by cruise groups of senior citizens who had been saving for a cruise all of their lives. These days, quite the opposite is true. The cost of a seven day cruise vacation is comparable to a seven day vacation on to many other land destinations.

New Backpacking Gear
Posted: Jan 25, 2010 |Comments: 0

]]>
When you are out in the wild and are going for an adventure it is always a good feeling when you know that you have the new backpacking gear that is reliable and will not fail you when need it the most. I always believed that you get what you pay for and it has served me well. There are so many choices and manufacturers for new backpacking gear out there that it can get a little distracting at times but not to worry this will give you a good sense of direction in finding the right new backpacking gear that suites you.
First is finding out what type of backpacking you will be doing in order to decide which route to go in getting you new backpacking gear. Do you go extreme like climbing up faces and repelling as well? Are you the backpacker that likes to go on long trips out into the wilderness for long periods of time? Or there are the normal ones that will go for a short excursion for a day or two? Any of these require you to be well prepared in case any thing happens that you did not count on, and most the time that is what happens. These are a few good companies that I like to use, Eureka, Granite Gear, Jan sport, Coleman, Mountainsmith, the list goes on and on but just try to choose the best new backpacking gear for your needs depending on which type you will be doing. You will always find quality gear it’s just finding what suites your needs when looking for new backpacking gear.
Trying to remember everything to take can always be a chore too especially when you get there and realize that you forgot the tent or your boots. Keeping your new backpacking gear in a well organized space can help with this. Here is a good checklist to go through when preparing for a backpacking trip- Map, Compass, Flashlight or Headlamp, Extra Food and Clothes, sunglasses, FIRST AID KIT IS A MUST HAVE! Pocket Knife or Bowie Knife, Waterproof Matches, Fire starter, Water, Bottles, or a Camel Pack, Bug Repellent, and Sun Screen. These are only a few of the many that you will need but they are the things that will keep you alive if something terrible happens, God Forbid it does, but better safe than sorry right? Over all just keep yourself equipped with the right gear, be safe, make good decisions and it will be a trip you will not forget, and don’t forget to take pictures as well.
