As the days get shorter, the nights get longer and the weather turns colder and wetter, there’s only one thing for it.
You need to buy yourself a good hardshell jacket.
Hot, sweaty feet can be the worst.
But you don’t need to suffer! Some hiking boots are better suited to hot weather than others!
Do you worry about what could happen to your carry-on luggage when you’re taking a trip?
Perhaps you cringe every time your luggage gets thrown in the back of a cab or rolls around the luggage compartment of an airplane.
Don’t fear, we’ve got the solution.
I think you’d all agree that most long-term travelers don’t really need to pack a suit or an evening dress in their backpacks.
Personally, a nice “going out” shirt was all I ever required, just in case I needed to dress to impress. And – top travel tip ahoy – you can iron that by hanging it in the steam of a hot shower.
But if you’re a regular business trip kinda guy or gal, then you need something that’ll keep your threads looking tip-top.
Imagine walking leisurely along the beach at night and you suddenly step on spiky rocks.
Ouch! That could be painful.
So, I think you would agree with me when I say that not all beaches and rivers are ideal for walking barefooted, right?
Well, it turns out that there are special types of footwear that are ideal for rocky beaches and rivers. “Water Shoes”, they are called.
Do you spend any time outdoors in colder weather?
Do you have family who plays sports in sub-zero conditions?
Maybe you suffer from poor circulation or know someone who does?
When the temperature drops and you’re ill-prepared, there’s very little worse than not being able to feel your fingers.
Eventually, winter will come. Or, you will go and look for it.
Most likely, there is something special about hiking in winter-time.
So, we need to be prepared.
Your feet are obviously crucial instruments in hiking.
The quality of a hike is largely dependent on the condition of your feet, which means it is largely dependent on the hiking boots you choose.
One of the best things about hiking is that it can be done in just about any weather conditions.
So long as you’re prepared for it that is; going out in a force 10 gale wearing your pajamas isn’t the best idea.
When you hear the word ‘camping’ – what do you think of?
The great outdoors, tiny tents, backpacking sleeping bags, and roughing it in the wild…?
What about air beds, duvets, sleeping pads, ten-man cabin tents and vehicle support…?
Whatever your definition or experience of camping is, I’m sure you’d want to make it as comfortable as possible.
