Here we are, already in the middle of summer, and the highlight of hiking and camping season. Sadly, we are also in prime mosquito season. In this article, I will offer a few ways to help control these pesky insects while hiking and camping, so our outdoor adventures will be much more enjoyable!
When we set out on our hiking or camping trips, we all head out in a happy frame of mind, totally expecting to have an awesome time in nature. We never know just when some type of unexpected emergency or disaster will strike. While it is definitely not anything we want to go through, we need to have some camping and hiking survival tips and gear already prepared, for those “it can’t or won’t happen to me” moments.
After an awesome day of camping, hiking, and enjoying everything nature has to offer, nothing would feel much better than a relaxing hot shower. But here you are in the middle of the woods, miles from this luxury, right? Not anymore, thanks to some great camping upgrades, such as propane and battery powered hot water heating systems. Just imagine having an endless supply of hot water at your disposal – in the middle of nowhere!
In this modern age of technology that we are so fortunate to live in, there are some awesome camping apps you can download on your cell phone, and most of them are free!

Hello and welcome to my review on Cascade Mountain Tech Trekking Poles – My Christmas Present To My Husband And Myself!
After posting my article “WALKING STICK, HIKING POLE, OR TREKKING POLES – FINDING THE BEST FIT FOR YOU”, I realized that as a lover of hiking and camping, that trekking poles were something I knew nothing about until I had recently researched them for my post. It was time to “practice my preaching”, and really look into a set for my husband and myself!
We have been getting our bodies physically and mentally prepared for our hikes, have purchased the proper hiking attire and gear, and have mapped out our hiking routes. What’s next?? It is now time to decide on the best healthy snacks to take along on our hikes!!
