Recreation
Carefully and thoroughly plan your trips before you leave home. This step cannot be emphasized enough! Study maps and other sources of information to prepare for any physical or geographical roadblocks. Careful planning will help you achieve and maintain a healthy and positive attitude about the trip itself.
Determine what type of gear you will need to backpack. Beware of the "light gear" merchandise, as it may not always be the best purchasing option. Typically, you will also want to avoid any gear that is "all-in-one" as it may be bulky.
