How to Enjoy Camping

!: How to Enjoy Camping

Since the 20th century, camping has become a recreational activity for people of all walks of life. Often, it includes activities such as hiking, canoeing, fishing, swimming, mountain biking, mountain climbing, hill walking, and kayaking.

Some campers may opt to use a tent and a Coleman air mattress. There are some, however, who would prefer to camp out without these amenities. Depending on the individual or the group having the activity, camping can be done in many different ways. They could choose to go car camping, motorcycle camping, canoe camping, backpacking, or tent camping. For the more adventurous type of campers, they could opt to go for the specialized type of camping which includes winter camping, survivalist camping, or adventure camping. The specialized type of camping involves more rigorous activities and requires campers to have the extraordinary skills of getting their own food from the wild, the ability to adapt to extremely cold temperature and limited mobility, and the capability to camp in a minimalist way. Whichever they will choose, the bottom line is to have a fun and exciting time.

There are many ways to enjoy camping. However, to ensure that the outcome of the activity would really be enjoyable and exciting for the group or individual, it is imperative that thorough planning is made before pushing through with the activity.

The first thing to do to enjoy camping is to prepare. As with any other activity, preparation is a must. At the planning stage, determine the kind of camping you want to have. Would you want to have a mobile type of camping, specialized camping, or social camping?

Once you determine which kind of camping you like, you may start scouting for the best camping site. In today's society, campers can choose from a wide variety of camping sites. There are campgrounds which already have some of the facilities necessary for the camping activity such as barbecue grills, bathrooms, utilities, fire rings, as well as close access to recreational facilities, and electricity.

After you have chosen the best campsite, find the perfect camping gear to make yourselves comfortable throughout your camping activity. The following are a must for campers: tent, flashlights or lanterns, axe for cutting firewood to build a campfire, box of matches, first-aid kit, hiking boots, Coleman air mattress, cooler for your perishables and drinks, sleeping bag, chuck box, insect repellent, sunscreen and other personal products used for skin care, basic personal items such as toothpaste and soap, raincoats, a portable stove in case campfires are not allowed in the area, a tarpaulin, rope, and the most important, food and individual cans of beverages. Survivalist campers, however, may not bring their own food and beverages.

Camping is an enjoyable activity especially if you know what to bring and what to do. Aside from the pleasure it brings, it teaches campers self-reliance and enhances their sense of responsibility and their ability to work within a team. Furthermore, it gives the individual the opportunity to commune with nature and appreciate its beauty.

Choosing Mountaineering Boots For Mt Mera

!: Choosing Mountaineering Boots For Mt Mera

Mt Mera is the highest of the "trekking peaks" in Nepal. These are mountains that are designated for climbing by people who may not have extensive technical climbing experience. Moreover, in a bid to encourage tourism the government charges a far lower fee for permits to climb these mountains than it does for some of the higher and more famous peaks such as Mt Everest.

Make no mistake, however, that these mountains are easy. Mt Mera rises about 6,500 meters above sea level. At this altitude the air is thin and the risk of altitude sickness is high. Moreover at this altitude the weather is cold and unpredictable so climbers need to ensure that they are properly equipped and in peak physical condition. Despite its classification as a "trekking peak", Mt Mera should not be underestimated.

An essential element of preparation is choosing the right footwear. At this altitude climbers will be exposed to temperatures that are many degrees below freezing, even in the climbing season just after the monsoon rains have ended and before the onset of winter. These conditions mean it is prudent to have a really good pair of warm boots for this expedition. Most people who climb Mt Mera (or Mera Peak, as it is sometimes known) use double-plastic boots. These consist of a sturdy plastic outer that is waterproof and rigid to accept crampons coupled with a warm, soft inner boot made of insulating foam. The reason for using a double boot is two-fold. The first is that it provides a great deal of warmth and insulation. The second is that because you can remove your inner boot you can allow it to dry out at night as it will become soaked with perspiration during the day.

In my expedition to Mera I in fact used a simple pair of fabric boots with a waterproof liner all the way up to 5,800 meters in altitude. These boots were quite warm enough when worn over a double pair of socks (a thin inner liner made of polypropylene and a thick outer sock made of wool). Yet once I passed my high camp and had to start breaking trail through deep snow I needed a pair of completely waterproof boots with solid gaiters to keep the snow out of them. Even with those warm boots and two pairs of socks my feet felt frozen by the end of the day. I did not get frost bite, but feel that I almost certainly would have without such warm boots.

In short, on the approach to Mera, a pair of trekking shoes or ordinary hiking boots is fine, but once you pass over the glacier just below Mera and move on to your high camp you need to have well insulated and protective boots to keep your feet warm and safe.
