Download or read book 40 Backpacking Hacks Volume 1 written by Heather Legler and published by . This book was released on 2016-01-30 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fun collection of wilderness backpacking tips from the host of the popular podcast, The First 40 Miles. 40 Backpacking Hacks: Tried and True Tricks of the Trail, Volume 1 What do a blank canvas, a silent piano, and a trailhead all have in common? They are each anxiously waiting for a curious, brave soul--regardless of talent, skill or experience--to breathe life into them. A canvas comes to life through the wild, youthful, vibrant strokes of a paint-laden brush. A piano comes to life through an uninhibited hand gliding smoothly over the glossy, heavy, rebounding keys. And a trail comes to life when a na�ve adventurer, burdened and blessed with the exact necessities of life--nothing more or less--has a desire to breathe more than her lungs can take in, be immersed in a culture of complete magnificence, and live for days feeling equal parts fear, love, fatigue, and vitality. 40 Backpacking Hacks is a witty collection of tips, taken from The First 40 Miles Podcast, to help beginning backpackers thrive in their new-found hobby. Each hack is adorably illustrated. Food hacks include 15 recipes that are calorie-dense and easy to prepare on the trail or in camp. Gear hacks save time and money and enhance your backpacking experience. So, whether you're still mustering up the courage to take your new hiking shoes out of the box or you've been on more trails than you can shake a trekking pole at, this book will inspire you to rethink the essentials, lighten your load, and make the most of your time on the trail.

Book excerpt: A fun collection of wilderness backpacking tips from the host of the popular podcast, The First 40 Miles. 40 Backpacking Hacks: Tried and True Tricks of the Trail, Volume 3 A few years ago, I had zero plans to write any backpacking books. And for good reason. I had never been backpacking. I had no trail experience, no gear, and no clue. All of that changed when my husband, Josh, decided to get back into backpacking. He and some friends planned to hike the Timberline Trail around Oregon's Mount Hood. I watched as Josh researched gear, scoured trail reports, and prepped food. I must have caught the backpacking bug, because just a week before the trip, I was packing to go along, too. And I learned something important on that trip (actually, about a billion important things, but I'll boil it down): backpacking is better with friends. We learn from each other. We support each other. We encourage each other. We share new ways of doing things. Fast forward a few years from that first exciting backpacking trip. I'm now connected with thousands of trail friends through my hiking and backpacking podcast, The First 40 Miles. Each week we broadcast to a worldwide audience of backpackers. We learn from each other. We support each other. We encourage each other. We share new ways of doing things. So, think of these backpacking hacks as little conversations with your backpacking buddies. One friend knows know to hack your photos to look just like Ansel Adams shots (#82). Another buddy has this weird food that he brings on trips called "bulgur" (#85 and #100). Another friend wants to tell you how he got his new tent with sweet, exclusive features (#102).Backpacking is always better--way better--with friends. Why is the first hack in this book "#81?" In case you missed it, this is my third book of backpacking hacks. Check out volumes 1 and 2 for hacks #1-80.

Book excerpt: "You can't just carry everyone else's hopes and fears around in your backpack and expect to stand up straight." ― David Kirk If you or someone you know is considering taking up backpacking, getting the right gear is of utmost importance. From making a backpacking checklist to buying proper backpacking camping gear, it is vital to 'know before you go' when it comes to backpacking.

If you end up with a backpack that is too small, too big, or simply uncomfortable, your trip will not be an enjoyable one. In fact, it could end up raising some safety issue alarms. That is why it is important to pay close attention to capacity, weight, comfort and durability when selecting a backpack.

Download or read book A Backpacker s Guide to Making Every Ounce Count written by Steven Lowe and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2015-05-19 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Backpacker's Guide to Making Every Ounce Count was written by an avid outdoorsman, for those interested in knowing how a Gram Weenie thinks. If you are interested in lightening your pack a few ounces at a time, this book covers that very subject. Steven Lowe discusses how he used to pack for a trip and how he learned from the so-called “experts.” After following their advice, he ended up with a very heavy pack and soon realized that there had to be a lighter way to backpack. A Backpacker's Guide to Making Every Ounce Count offers tips that may allow you to approach your pack from a different point of view, like cutting the tags from your clothes and cutting your toothbrush in half--all in the name of shaving a few ounces of weight. When planning a trip, you need to look at your gear and ask questions like, “How many ounces can I shave from this item?” This book offers some ideas on how to lighten a few ounces from any pack, reduce the weight on your Big Three, and help you define just what type of backpacker you are--a lightweight or an ultra-lightweight backpacker. There are sixteen ounces in a pound. If you can shave four ounces from four areas in your pack, you just shaved one pound from your pack. Every ounce truly does count.

Download or read book Trail Fuel written by Heather Legler and published by . This book was released on 2016-11-29 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collection of recipes for wilderness backpacking from the host of the popular podcast, The First 40 Miles. Trail Fuel: 40 Quick & Easy Recipes for Wilderness Backpacking My first experience with preparing food for a backpacking trip was when my husband was prepping for his first backpacking trip since his time as a boy scout. He explained, "All I know is that I need foods that are calorie dense." Because of the length and intensity of the trip, he needed human rocket fuel. Over the course of a few days, we planned his menu, put together calorie-dense meals, and tried to give enough variety for the five day adventure. Then something happened that I never expected. I was invited to go. With only a week to prepare, I did a crash course in backpacking. I loaded up my pack with all the necessities of life-plus some of those calorie dense foods that I had picked out for Josh only days before. And we were off! It was a week of peanut butter packets, granola bars, M&Ms, dehydrated dinners, and beautiful vistas! What makes great backpacking food? It's calorie-dense. It's shelf-stable. It's simple to prepare. It's a good mix of naughty and nice. It's adaptable and idiot-proof Whether you're new to backpacking or you've been on more trails than you can shake a trekking pole at, this cookbook will inspire you to rethink the essentials, lighten your load, and make the most of your time on the trail. --- Tags: backpacking for beginners, wilderness backpacking, hiking, camping, food, recipes, cookbook, meals.
