Backpacker 101

Backpacking and camping require a great amount of planning and preparation, which is one of the things I like most about them. Who has not spend endless hours preparing your gear (and buying more!), imagining how you will use your gear to make the perfect campsite.

At first, I used to just “wing it” and throw a bunch of stuff into my pack that I thought I might need. Oh boy, I had a heavy pack with 80% of the stuff I would not need and 20% of the stuff I really needed for the voyage ahead.

Well, those days (thankfully) are over, as I chose to learn my lessons from those who have worked out ideal camping strategies over the years. I have found a great eBook to get you started called:

Beginner Camping Tips: The Beginner’s Guide to Getting You Started With Comfortable Tent Camping in 12 Easy Affordable Steps.

This guide is packed with hard-earned knowledge and advice from eleven experienced campers - which will allow you to get great ideas and avoid their mistakes along the way.

Avoiding the Beginner’s Camping Blunders

I have a sizable list of mistakes that I have made during my early years of backpacking and camping…some of which are funny…others downright miserable and dangerous. Many of my blunders resulted in aborting the trip or heading for the closest town and a comfortable motel room.

What I like about the Beginner Camping Tips Book is this: If you do some homework and take some advice from the eleven experts who have compiled this book, you can expect to have a much more enjoyable, successful and safe adventure. That alone is worth far more than the measly price of the book.

I suggest you go to their site (CLICK HERE) and check out this great camping resource. Worst case…they will refund your money if you are not happy with the information. It’s a no-brainer in my mind. Happy Camping!
