Hiking is an adventure. Anyone who's gone on a 5 or 10 hour day hike knows as much. While on these day long excursions, you can expect any number of things to happen. In order to better prepare for the various things that one might encounter on the trail, I have composed a list of 21 things that I always consider bringing when I go on a day hike. While I may not use very many of them, I'm usually glad I brought what I did.

Here in Pennsylvania we are blessed with an abundance of trails, good scenery and rain. If you pack for a week or so you'll experience rain. The question is are you REALLY ready for it or do you suffer and "make do"? I for one have suffered enough an have made a few equipment choices and modifications to make life easier.

The backpackers I�ve met are big hearted people. Sure they like their space, but in time of need they�ll be there for you. The very choice they make when hitting the trail indicates a inward desire to experience life more intimately, and more intensely, yet they remain tuned to the needs of both their traveling companions and their surroundings. The trail often brings out the best in people and there are valuable tenets in backpacking that translate well into a more rewarding life and a better world.

People in Europe don't know much about Crimea peninsula. Travel agencies are at the very beginning of promoting this nice place. But in a few years advertising will do it and Crimea will be ordinary place like all other resorts.

About one hundred feet from the trailhead you begin to feel the weight of you pack and start to wonder, why is my pack so heavy? There are many people out there who try to convince you to pack as little as possible, but I am here to tell you that weight is OK. Let�s not go overboard, there is a limit to what you should take on a trip, but you can also make your trip a little more enjoyable by packing some things which you might otherwise have left at home.

Sometimes in ski hikes some participants beat off from group. Similar can occur(happen) not only on a route, but also during the device of a camp: during a bad weather the wind quickly brings traces, to be covered there is no place, difficultly to define(determine) the site. Such events terminate in serious traumas, sometimes lead to a tragical outcome, if the lost the way tourist does not know how to operate(work) in the circumstances, is not able to construct the elementary shelters, to plant a fire on a strong wind and in a snowfall, it is rational to use clothes, and the main thing, not in forces to cope with the despair which has captured it(him) and a hopelessness.

Back in the fall of 1975 in I was living and working in the Loedgepole and Pembina Oil Fields, near Drayton Valley, Alberta. I worked for a large American Petroleum company, and did everything from repacking well heads, to electronics and telemetry maintanince. It was quite a good job I'd say. It wasn't without its dangers of course, sour gas and explosions have killed many before and since. It was often hard work too, many a time I was pulling on 48 inch pipe wrenches with snipes or pipefitting a gas station to add telemetry equipment. I was hired for my electronics knowledge, but really any Grade 8 electronics student could have done the job. Easy and honest money I always thought.

Don't you just hate it when you walk into a store hoping to find a knowledgeable salesperson with outdoor experience, but instead find a high school kid who is working there so he can get the store discount? I�ve worked at an outdoors specialty store, so I know that most salespeople are very active in their outdoor pursuits and know their stuff inside and out. If you are new to backpacking, you often rely on the knowledge of the sales staff to lead you in the right direction. Without the proper recommendations, you can end up spending a lot of money on inappropriate gear. I thought that I would come up with a little way to "test" your salespeople to see how valuable their advice is.

Rodiola pink (the Gold root). Pink color Rodiola pink (in the further RR) gives, only when svezhevykopannaja and for a short while wetted (after three-four weeks the brine darkens). Under the manual "Drug plants", RR possesses strongly pronounced tonic and fortifying action, it is similar to a ginseng, but is less toxic. In the medical purposes it is used 40 and a 70 percent spirituous extract (in our event only 40 percent). By virtue of obvious(pronounced) not medical reception of tincture it is necessary to note, that at irrepressible consumption the beverage can cause(call) a sleeplessness, light(mild) deafness (pawns ears) and color motions.
