How to go fitpacking
Purchase or borrow lightweight backpacking gear.
Since you'll be in natural terrain for a long period of time, it would be wise to use lightweight gear. Visit your local outdoor supply store-such as rei-and peruse their backpacking section.

Choices:
+ Look through the different options to find the best fit for your body type and fitness level. You can also grab a boot rack or magazine/journal and use it to help gather your gear before you go.
+ You can buy your gear over the phone or go by online retailers. If you don't have access to gps, check the websites of local hikers' clubs in your area.
+ Search online for " hiking gear for hiking in the wilderness. " browse the general backpacking section of your local grocery or department store, and look for the items you're interested in.
+ You'll want a backpack with a lightweight, sturdy frame and hiking boots that offer a firm tread and solid ankle support. Avoid buying backpacking gear online, since it's important to feel the gear on your body.
