When we first went camping, we figured it would be best to be over-packed than under-packed. We hate to have forgotten something in the middle of the wild so we bought too many things. Now we know better. We pack the usual things – tent, sleeping bags, foldable chairs and lights. We just pay more [...]
Choosing the right hiking backpack is important. It may seem like any pack will do, but this just isn’t so. Hiking with the right backpack for the conditions, load, weight and your body type can often make or break your trip. Are you a day trekker or are you planning a backpacking trip? What type [...]
I am the kind of person who believes in having the right kind of bag or luggage for the occasion. I have formal clutches for dinners, a large tote for when I go shopping, and an overnight case for when we simply need to get away for a weekend and stay at a hotel or [...]

One also needs to have complete mountain climbing gear. The main equipment used for mountain climbing includes: shoes/mountaineering boots, gloves, harnesses, ropes, racks, [...]
People these days lead a very fast-paced life. There are jobs that require people to be on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It can get very stressful especially if you don’t give yourself a break from time to time. And what I mean by break is a break from your usual [...]
My husband has joined a mountaineering and hiking group in the office. They regularly organize trail hikes on weekends and have physical training for some serious hikes. They have been preparing to go on an Wastern Washington hiking trip later this month. Mount Washington in the White Mountains of New Hampshire is known to be [...]
