When You Go Backpacking

I am sure everybody enjoys a hike. A bit of planing makes all the difference.
Here are few tips , hope they make a difference to your trip

• Home made food wrapped in aluminium foil is good if you go on one day trip. Few fruits make a lot of difference.
• If you are going for a longer duration carry lots of canned food.
• Water is usually available , but do a bit of survey or ask the locals around, but definately carry chlorine drop, (for purifying ofcourse)
• Carry a spare set of clothes and first aid kit, can come in handy.
• You must must must carry cash, you never know when it comes handy.
• A map, if available, and provided you know how to read it, is very important.
• Few like minded friends, will be lots of fun.
• And last but not the least, check out if any mode of communication , accomodation, food medical aid,etc is already available.
