For many people, summer is just not summer without taking a weekend camping or hiking trip. Not only do you see the great outdoors in a totally different light while hiking, it also offers different challenges from summer camping.
Although hiking on your own can seem like an exiting adventure, it is a lot safer to go hiking in a group. If you have not planned enough, then you may find yourself running around shopping for camping gear necessities and might just end up forgetting a thing or two. Climbing works the arms, shoulders, trunk and legs of the body.
Breathe deeply of fresh air, that's what it's all about. If you will be traveling in the mountains, try bicycling to get ready. Ice climbing is a unique technique.
The gear can run you some bucks, but the cost is nominal compared to most other sports. All in all, try to ensure you are well prepared, avoid solo trips the first time, check all your equipment before you leave and get some first aid training.
