We Have Issues: A Hiker’s Guide of Sorts

Staying Warm. Always remember the mantra: “Nothing keeps you warm like hypothermia.” If you are feeling a bit nippy one of the best things to do is to find a nice, frigid alpine like, throw off your pack and jump in with all of your driest clothes on. Although this might make you a little colder initially, after a few minutes you’ll be basking in the heat of hypothermia. Aaaaah, toasty.

Ultralight Essentials – 14 On a Diet

Ultralight Essentials – 14 On a Diet

Knowledge, experience, and a little common sense will serve you better than any amount of equipment that you could possibly haul into the outback. Year after year reports surface about some lost hiker or skier that died of hyperthermia even though they had a pack containing shelter, a sleeping bag, and dry clothing. Survival gear without the knowledge of how to use it properly will do nothing for you.
