One of the least expensive but most exciting types of vacation is a camping and hiking trip. It's the type of vacation that all family members can enjoy. And it's also such a great way to connect with nature.
The cost to have a hiking and camping trip is quite low compared to other types of vacation. The basic needs are a high quality backpack, tent, and stove. And these items can be used over and over again in your future trips.
Here are some tips you can use to have a great and exciting camping and hiking vacation:
1. Get a good map of the area you're planning to travel to. Make sure the terrains are not too hard for you to hike through.
2. Get all the necessary permits to have a camping and hiking trip in the area you're planning to go to. Also, make sure you check all the regulations concerning fires, cleanups, etc.
3. Dress with the appropriate clothes for hiking and camping. Make sure the clothes are made from material that's suitable for hiking and camping in the wilderness. And bring enough extra clothes with you in case you need them.
4. Know how to operate the equipments that you bring. Try setting up the tent once or twice at home to make sure you don't run into difficulty when you set it up in the camping site.
5. Pack sufficient foods for the trip. You're going to burn a lot of calories during the hiking, so make sure you bring enough foods that are high in carbohydrate, protein, and fat.
6. Find out where the water sources are in the trail. Drinking plenty of water is important in a hiking trip because it'll prevent you from dehydration, so you'll need to stock plenty of water in your backpack.
7. Take a first aid kit with you in case you'll need it in the trip. You might also want to bring a GPS system or a satellite phone if you're planning to travel far into the backcountry.
