Paper Soldiers move

is upon us, it is a good time to do a gear check to see what you’ve got and what you need to pick up. One of the best parts of about summer trips is the wide range of activities and places you can go.

If you’re like me, you enjoy the chance to just sit around a camp or along a trail, look out over a great view, and just relax. Enjoying the beauty of the landscape and area that you’re in is all part of the trip. So, to help you relax and have a great trip, I’ve put together a list of some items that I think are pretty good picks to take with you on any trip.

Eagle’s Nest Outfitters Hammock

What better way to relax on a camping or backpacking trip then to string up a hammock between a couple trees and just let the breeze rock you? The Eagle’s Nest Outfitters (ENO) hammocks are absolutely top of the line products. They come in either a SingleNest (1 person) or DoubleNest (2 person) and in a huge variety of colors. For about $50 you can be set for many years to come when you want to get out and relax! Check them out today. There are also many other brands that are great like Trek Light Gear and Hennessey Hammocks.

DryFly from Eagles Nest Outfitters

Another great ENO product to take with you on a summer trip is the ENO DryFly. Being easy to set up and take down, plus offering many different setup options, this is a great alternative to a tent or a normal tarp. Being the summer and the weather probably being wonderful (just hopefully not too buggy), sleeping out of a tent and just under a tarp is a great way to spend the night. If it’s clear sky’s with no chance of rain, then forget the tarp and just sleep under the stars!

Ice Cream Ball

Looking to make some sweets while your out camping with the family? Check out the Ice Cream ball from Industrial Revolution. Add sugar, ice, flavoring, and whatever else the directions tell you, toss, kick or otherwise shake the ice cream ball and in just a short amount of time, you’ve got ice cream! I’ve heard mixed reviews about the ice cream ball and the end product, but for a fun way to pass some times with the kids, it’s worth the ~$25 price tag plus ingredients.

Nite Ize Flashlight Disc Touch of Evil full movie Countess Dracula ipod

County Hospital video Who does not love a chance to throw a frisbee around camp? An easy toy to carry and great to entertain the kids, a frisbee is a great camping toy to take with you for some fun on a trip. If you like tossing the disc during the day, then you’d probably enjoy it just as much at night with the Nite Ize Flashlight Disc that lights up so that you can see it. A great option for some after dinner fun! Available at REI for $22.00.

Obviously there are tons of great ideas out there and these are just a couple quick ones. Leave some comments with your favorite piece of gear to take with you during a summer trip to help you relax!

Plan Ahead and Prepare

• Know the regulations and special concerns for the area you’ll visit.
• Prepare for extreme weather, hazards, and emergencies.
• Schedule your trip to avoid times of high use.
• Visit in small groups when possible. Consider splitting larger groups into smaller groups.
• Repackage food to minimize waste.
• Use a map and compass to eliminate the use of marking paint, rock cairns or flagging.

Travel and Camp on Durable Surfaces

• Durable surfaces include established trails and campsites, rock, gravel, dry grasses or snow.
• Protect riparian areas by camping at least 200 feet from lakes and streams.
• Good campsites are found, not made. Altering a site is not necessary.
  In popular areas:
  • Concentrate use on existing trails and campsites.
  • Walk single file in the middle of the trail, even when wet or muddy.
  • Keep campsites small. Focus activity in areas where vegetation is absent.
  • In pristine areas: Daddy’s Girl dvdrip
  • Disperse use to prevent the creation of campsites and trails.
  • Avoid places where impacts are just beginning.

Friday I got the chance to head out to Harper’s Ferry, WV

with my fiancé for the day. We weren’t really too sure what we would do while we were there (it’s not that big of a town) because we were not sure if we would get some hiking in or not. For those that do not know, the Appalachian Trail runs right through Harper’s Ferry and most hikers consider it the half way point.

Harper’s Ferry is a very historic town and area going back to the days of the civil war. Here is a quick excerpt from the National Park Service’s website about the history of the area.

THE HISTORY OF HARPERS FERRY HAS FEW PARALLELS IN THE AMERICAN DRAMA. It is more than one event, one date, or one individual. It is multi-layered – involving a diverse number of people and events that influenced the course of our nation’s history. Harpers Ferry witnessed the first successful application of interchangeable manufacture, the arrival of the first successful American railroad, John Brown’s attack on slavery, the largest surrender of Federal troops during the Civil War, and the education of former slaves in one of the earliest integrated schools in the United States.

As you can tell Harper’s Ferry has a lot of different history and shows it in the atmosphere. The lower section of the town is set up in a historical period with many different time period stores such as a general store, a book store, a dry goods store, and more. Then, the upper part of the town is more of a “shopping district” with many little different boutiques, small restaurants, and the best part of all – an outdoor outfitter!

Below is just a guide/outline for items that you should consider taking on a backpacking trip.

When you are out and about in the wilderness, whether backpacking, camping, rock climbing, or just hiking, it is important to remember the seven principles of Leave No Trace and to follow them as best as you can. Here are some different tips to be sure you follow the Leave No Trace principles when you are taking a hike!

Limit Group Size - Large groups have adverse impact on both the land and on other wilderness users. One person hiking along sees more wildlife than two people. Two people see more than tree people. A group of more than three people is unlikely to see anything at all.

– Most especially, don’t cut switchbacks. Obviously, this is more of a temptation going downhill than going uphill, especially on those western pack trails that swing back and forth as evenly as a pendulum. Switchbacks make for easier climbing, and they also help control erosion on steep slopes. That straight route down the fall line can’t handle years of foot traffic and soon turns into an eroded mess.
