No comments »

Lake Michigan, at the end of the Stonington Peninsula, there is a stretch of empty beach. Part of the Hiawatha National Forest, is designed on both sides of private property, without any readily available. A walk on the beach, but it is legal. Begins after the last space, public areas, and goes to six or seven kilometers. This is where I wanted my skills and Ultralight Backpacking Gear Test

I walked a few kilometers from the first day and explored the woods, where I ate wild blueberries for an hour.So I said the field behind a small hill on the beach. I collected dry grass at the edge of the forest, offers a good mattress. I opened my backpack Plane rather high, so that the wind would keep away the mosquitoes. Once camp was set up, I went for a swim.

This area has many types of cancer that has the look and taste like mini-lobsters. After swimming I took a dozen under the rocks in shallow water, and brought to the camp in a container of whipped cream I found. You neverknow what wash on the beach.

I cooked with a little 'heart cattail roots and Primrose, pan, in my good three ounces. Has a good meal with the crackers I brought. (Remove the meat from the tail of cancer, after cooking).

It was summer, so I had brought a sleeping bag. With seventeen ounces my bag was not used much my pack weighing eight pounds. I just wanted to try using a line of nylon bag I had recently sewn (5 ounces). I had myClothes to bed, including a hat, I have the sleeve of an old thermal shirt (1 ounce). I slept well and eat cereal bars for breakfast.

The water was everywhere, so I only had a 16-oz plastic bottle pop (1 ounce) and a few iodine tablets for purification. I have a good drink before packing.

I put fresh tracks on the beach. The bear was gone within 60 yards where I slept. I had a freon horn (2 ounces), which, after reading that people used to buyHigh-bear cry decibles scare. I pulled out. I followed the tracks in an hour, but only because I wanted in that direction.

I had two old cabins to explore, a patch of berries I knew, and a beach full of things to check. The most strange that bathes regularly onions. I take them home to use them. After years of searching for them, finally, a sailor told me they throw them off the ships to fire on them in the water. I found thatunanswered.

The next day he returned. The rain I expected never came, so I try my garbage bag rainsuit (2 ounces), but I had a similar success already in use. Overall I was satisfied with my ultralight backpacking "test". Of course you can get with the fragile clothing and equipment when you leave an open sea. Oh, and I never saw the bear.

Camping list can vary depending on the season, or if your camp site, there are other activities such as hiking and fishing. If you're new to camping and I'm not sure what kind of supply list to write, I suggest reading online campingFeedback from expert and novice campers who have volunteered there experiences and their listings online included.

Some essential elements of the field that should always be included in the list of supplies, a tent, sleeping bag, backpack camping furniture pots, camping, toiletries, water, extra clothes, non perishable foods, lighter or matches, S-Block , plates and a Camping lantern, just to name a few supplies.

If you are a kind of luxury camping adventure, I propose to bringalong camping gear like a portable camp shower, fire grill, crockpot or Dutch oven, tent, add the heating, storage, toaster, sleeping bag liner and inflatable sleeping bag, folding table and chairs, sun on your list. Remember, all members of your family, your children ask what they want to bring your own camping equipment and be sure to add to your camping equipment checklist before you go shopping.
