If you are an avid outdoor enthusiast you probably know that there are certain rules of etiquette to follow when hiking and camping. Here are some good guidelines to follow when hiking on a trail:
1.) Be considerate of other hikers using the road or the trail.
2.) Be sure to ask permission from a landowner when crossing private property.
3.) Keep your noise level down. It’s rude to disturb private property owners as well as other campers.
4.) Be particularly cautious around motorized vehicles, bikes and horses. Stay to the right of the trail and let them pass.
5.) Don’t ever leave any broken hiking gear along the trail. Even when you’re in the wilderness this is still littering.
If you’re going camping, you’d want to be as comfortable as possible out in the elements. A good down sleeping bag is the ultimate in comfort and function. We all know that hiking can take a lot out of you. Rest is essential so you could re-energize yourself for all the strenuous activities ahead of you. Without the proper rest, your energy will bottom out fairly quickly.
Here are a few camping and hiking tips:
1. Always be prepared. Remember, you’re out in the wilderness, preparation is vital.
2. Make sure your body is up to the challenge before heading out.
3. Never hike alone.
4. Wear proper camping clothes.
5. Make certain that the location you’ve chosen is safe and recommended by other, more seasoned hikers.
