What Gear Does An Experienced Backpacker Take On The Trail For An Overnight, Cold Weather Hike/camp?
by James on Dec.25, 2009, under Around the World
Backpacking, tent camping, and spending a night out in nature are great activities. An overnight trip doesn’t seem much time to really get into it. My suggestions is decide where you are going to go, what season you will be going, who you will be going with. What activities you will be doing, and what are the conditions you may encounter. Take into consideration, your age, abilities, capabilities and weaknesses. Assess your situation. Plan for the worst and expect the best.
For a two full day - one night trip I would consider the length of hike you will be involved with and how much you are willing to carry. Fully loaded 4500 to 6500 cubic inch packs can way as much as 70 lbs. A ten mile hike in and a ten mile hike out with all of that weight can be most tiring for even the avid hiker.
The basics for a good hike involve some planning for weight, and size. A moderate down or poly sleeping bag that can be compressed into a stuff sack and a lightweight tent will keep you quite comfortable for the time being. If water is available and you can filter it will reduce the weight of carrying water. Hydration systems are the latest generation to the old clumsy canteen. You will need to consider the body will need at least 2 liters of water a day in mild or moderate temperatures. Foods that are easy to prepare are great for overnighters. Dried fruits and nuts provide an excellent source of energy while hiking. Remember, what ever trash you bring in you will need to take out with you. Plan for the change of weather, a pile of clothes make a good pillow at night. A compass, and map are great to have. (learn how to use them first!) I carry a handheld GPS and a camera. Enjoy nature and the outdoors.

by James on Aug.13, 2009, under Around the World
I’m missing the shorter pole from a Eurohike backpacker tent, although I can’t remember how long the original was if I knew that I could probably get a replacement.
The longer one seems to be made up of 6 sections.
Hope someone can help.
