Any of you guys into Backcountry camping?

My wife and I are just getting into it, after a chance link on a state park website.

We've got our eye on a very easy trail near us, a six-mile we'll do in one night, with provided shelters.

The next is 2 more 5'ish milers, with full pack, on easy to moderate trail difficulties, in one night.

If we're comfortable enough, we want to end the season with a three night 14 mile moderate to difficult in late summer/early fall.

So, if any of you guys are out there, I'd love to tap your brains :smile:

my time in the army sort of took it out of me. only advice i have is KNOW where your going and plan for anything. med. food, the works. a 1 day trip can turn into a longer one. if you going out for one day plan for 2. be careful and safe. most of all ENJOY! if you want more advice than that pm or email myself or niki.

Is the only thing I've found really so far that has lots of good info. They strike me as a Bacountry ICMag

I haven't done it for a few years but I would live with my plants during the summer and fall because my grows would be too far to drive to 3 times per week. I'd basically pack a bunch of drinking water, a multi fuel stove, dr bronners soap, a cooking pot, iodine, bandages, various prepackaged rice dishes, rope, a couple green military tarps that I'd use to fashion a tent , a fishing pole with a net for keeping the fish in the water, a gerber multiplier, a filleting knife, condiments some dogfood for my buddy oscar and a cell phone along with a ph pen, dolomitic lime, and fertilizer and I'd be fine easily for two weeks and up to four if necesary. Between the fish and the wild berries and greens I'd be happy as a clam and living better than I was at home. Most of the stuff I'd leav out there hidden underneath a camoflage net and leaves while I was gone. It took several trips to bring all that stuff out there but it was only about a very easy 5 mile hike. I saw an article in hi times where a guy built an underground shlter for living in and drying his herb. Unfortunately if have to drive my herb back manicured but wet which isn't recommended but I had a few tricks and a lot of luck and never got busted.

Has anyone ever done a long hike into the grand canyon? You'd think it's really crowded and it is, at the top but after the first mile everyone disappears and 5 or 6 miles into a trail there's noone else anywhere nearby. If I didn't have a wife I'd love to live in the grand canyon.

The great outdoors is the best. Its been awhile since Ive taken an extended camping trip but I take hikes weekly.
A couple years ago I went on a 3-day hike on the Appalachian Trail. We made it about 20 miles on the 2,000+ mile trail.

It is an absolutely gorgeous hike. I would love to do it again but next time I will bring more weed and supplies.
I also love hiking through the Smokey Mountains in the winter especially. That fresh winter air at high altitudes. Ahhhhh. Refreshing and relaxing.

allow for plenty of chill time, you don't want to be hiking the whole time. the backcountry can hide lots of things you'd never find if just passing through. got a digital camera? i rarely hike without mine.

watch out for bears and cougars.

mtnjohn · 03-03-2007, 05:39 PM

^^^^^ yes....i agree.........to many peeps go out and try to do too much...and end up not seeing the forest for the trees

imho....we should stop and smell the flowers often

it's not only the "destination" ......for me at least....... it's the journey
