Hiking – Six ways to save
As pack weights get lighter is in the desert becomes safer, the hike is also becoming more expensive. How can you save money without sacrificing the ultra-light and safety equipment? Here are a few different ways.
Hiking in the most remote places has become much safer now that there are tags Personal Locator. I recently saw an advertisement, you can request assistance to 911 family and friends at the touch of a button. It will even find you on Google Maps so that others can see exactly where you are. Of course, at nearly $ 200 for the device plus a contribution Annual $ 100 per year for the service, it is not cheap.
My alternative? Just bring your cell phone and GPS. If already have the phone, you just have to buy the GPS, and use is free. In case of problems, you can call using your phone and give the coordinates of where you are. They can enter in an online service themselves to see where you are on a map. Since your phone is probably not based on satellite coverage is not as good as the locator expensive but it is a reasonable way to save money. Here are five more.
1. Buy used gear.
I would never buy an old sleeping bag, because the filling is destroyed over time. On the other hand, there is nothing wrong with aluminum pans used or pickets tent. I saw both in the thrift stores for a fraction of what they cost new. You can also find hiking line equipment is decent Ebay or forums Outdoor enabling users to sell their old gear.
2. Stay close to home.
Much of the expense of the hike may be the cost of travel to get to the trail. But you really have to go 2,000 miles to a backpack, some beautiful hand? If you intend to run, hike some trails closer to home, why not start with them? Inevitably, there will destinations that you never go, so why not let them be the most expensive?
3. Buy real food.
Forget meal of freeze-dried backpacker is expensive. Bring nuts, granola and other food affordable reality. For meals cooked, the rice and instant brown legume quick cooking, such as red lentils. Noodles with olive oil, Parmesan and spices can be more delicious than a dinner lyophilized and only one quarter of all costs. Many supermarket foods are better than the proprietary backpack lunch "in my opinion.
4. Buy ordinary clothes.
Contrary to the impression given by the manufacturers of outerwear, you do not need a new wardrobe of high technology to get out in the desert. Instead of a $ 16 t-shirt super-breathable, try a 50/50 blend of polyester cotton T-shirt Wal-Mart for $ 4. It will probably be more comfortable, and dries almost as quickly when wet. In a warm climate with summer rains short, you can forego the $ 120 waterproof / breathable rain jacket in favor of a $ 20 one low-tech, or even an emergency poncho $ 2. There are usually many ways to save money on clothes when you consider where you are going and what is really needed.
5. The base camp.
If you just want to get out and hike, you might consider camping in your car or in a tent cheap beside him. You can hike all day with only water, food, and a few other things you need in just cheap backpack (purchased used in a thrift store to save money), and the return to the car to sleep. You do not need a sleeping bag large backpack, tent or other gear expensive if you do not intend to spend your nights there in the woods. This walking is not technically, but perhaps not for you, just to see and hike in beautiful places, and on a budget.
