Equipment For Backpacking or Hillwalking

- by Zoey Nathan

A backpacking load does not need to be a back-breaking load even though you have to carry everything you need for camping as well as walking. Keeping the weight down can be done in two ways.

The Weight Of Each Part Of The Equipment Is Very Important

The weight of each part of your equipment, from the tent to your spoon, is important. For days of walking the weight difference between, say, one jacket and the other doesn’t matter much. For backpackers, on the other hand, a little extra weight on each tooth bit can add a sizable amount on the back. If you can’t decide between two dental items, always choose the lighter one. Most stores can tell you how heavy a tent is (though not always accurate) but few know the weight of the clothes they stock.

Taking along a small spring balance for weighing gear when you shop is well worthwhile. Those who intend backpacking in the future would do well to pay careful attention to the weight of any items like waterproofs they buy for day walking. Those who camp at roadside locations must do the same. It might not matter how heavy your tent or sleeping bag is if you arrive at the location by car but if you plan to use the same equipment for backpacking, the weight will be very important.

Everything You Take Is Really Needed

Ask yourself if everything you take is really needed. Be cruel. If you are not sure …

Camping Equipment for Your Next Adventure

- by Zoey Nathan

So you have finally decided on your next hiking trip. That’s going to be fun, indeed. But you need to make sure that you are careful when deciding on the camping equipment you will select for your trip. You should take time and think about what outdoor equipment was missing from your last camping experience. If you want your next hiking adventure to be more exciting and comfortable, you should make sure that you have all the necessary camping equipment with you on your trip.

Carrying a Stove is An Important Thing For Hikers

Did you carry a stove for camping on your last adventure? If not, then you may understand quite clearly how difficult it is to enjoy the hike without an outdoor kitchen. You probably found it difficult to cook your meals or even prepare a cup of coffee. If you are successful at catching some fish from a nearby stream, it will be difficult and time consuming to cook them. This can create problems that could spoil your trip completely.

Outdoor Stove is The Option

Unlike the common perception, an outdoor kitchen is not a luxury. It is one of the most basic camping requirements and is as important as blankets or flashlights. If you have a stove for camping, your life in the backwoods will be a lot easier. When you are hiking, it’s not necessarily about one or two days. The camping trip may last for several days and it’s difficult to survive all these …

ETA Application to Travel in Canada

- by Zoey Nathan

Do you plan to go to Canada and discover its wonders for the next holidays? You will certainly have to book a flight, an accommodation and get a visa. There are different types of visas to enter the Canadian territory but today, we are going focus on the ETA or Electronic Travel Authorization. How to apply for it? How much does it cost? Here are the answers!

What Is ETA Canada?

Whatever the purpose of your trip is: business, tourism or even a transit to another country via a Canadian airport, an electronic travel authorization is mandatory. It is supposedly the same as the Canada Visa. All foreigners wishing to stay in Canada must withdraw their ETA except Canadians with dual nationality or American citizens.

As far as the validity is concerned, like when your passport has expired and you have to renew it, the same applies to your electronic travel authorization. In the meantime, you can travel freely across Canada as often as you like. However, each stay must not exceed one semester. But it is good to know that the authorization validity can go up to 5 years. You can find more about it on https://www.travel-authorization.co.uk/eta-visa-application-canada.htm.

How to Apply for an ETA Canada?

As it is an electronic travel document, an ETA Canada can be requested online. Thanks to technology, the application can be made in just a few clicks on the Internet. Plus, you can receive a positive response in your mailbox after only a few …
