Backpacking Trip: Learn How To Properly Layer For A Successful Summer & Spring Backpacking Trip

There's a simple formula for what to wear during backpacking season: three layers up top, two on my legs, and one for my feet. This system regulates temperature extremely well and prepares me for just about any kind of weather I’ll encounter. And while it might sound like a lot of gear, you’ll appreciate the options on the trail. Here’s a list of our favorite pieces.

Synthetic hiking pants and/or shorts: I tend to bring both, or convertible pants with zip-off legs. Synthetics are preferred because they dry quickly.

Long underwear: I prefer natural fibers like wool over synthetics. Wool is more odor-resistant.

Synthetic or merino shirt: Long sleeves help lessen your sun exposure and protects from insects.

Midlayer fleece/hoodie: Lightweight, packable.

Waterproof jacket and pants: Gore-Tex Paclite is a good breathable, lightweight material

Lightweight puffy jacket: Packability is key. Down is more packable, but won’t work as well as synthetic insulation when wet.

Socks (at least two pairs): Consider the height of your boots or shoes. I prefer a mid-length, wool sock. Expert Tip: Avoid cotton since it tends to cause blisters.

Beanie and lightweight gloves: Temperatures drop quickly in the mountains and desert at night.

Sandals or slip-on camp shoes: Your feet will thank you.

Hat and sunglasses: The higher the elevation, the more intense the sun exposure so keep your face and eyes protected.

Prepping for your first backcountry backpacking trip takes some work, but if you do the research and assemble the right gear, it can open the gates to endless travels and a lifetime of epic trips.

$Bamboo Charcoal Bags Naturally Remove Odors, Fight Moisture With These Bamboo Charcoal Bags Bamboo Charcoal Bags Naturally Remove Odors, Fight Moisture With These Bamboo Charcoal Bags Too often, people rely on a plethora of sprays, powders, plug-in devices, candles and similar products to address odors in their homes and cars. These products have numerous drawbacks. While sometimes individually cheap, disposable odor control products must be continually replenished. Air fresheners of this type can eventually become a decent fraction of ones shopping budget. More importantly, nearly all of these solutions rely on chemicals to overwhelm airborne odors – chemicals to which many people are sensitive or allergic. Furthermore, ecologically conscious consumers may simply not want to spray unpronounceable compounds into their living spaces. Yet another problem with sprays and related products is they dont actually eliminate odors – they simply cover them up with a stronger smell. More recently, effective technological air purification methods have hit the market, but these are generally expensive to buy, noisy and add to the monthly electric bill. Some require regular filter changes or other maintenance. Plus, air purifier devices often take up lots of space, especially when the cubic area to clean is large. VITCHELO® has cleverly addressed all of the above issues by turning to a simple and time-honored solution to the problem of odors – charcoal. Contained in each stitched linen bag is about 3 ounces of bamboo charcoal. Bags can be safely placed anywhere, from closets to cars. Each bag can freshen 90 square feet of air, the size of a typical closet. Their reusability, though, is what gives VITCHELO® charcoal bags their tremendous value. Unlike disposable products, charcoal bags can be refreshed by laying them in full sun for about an hour every month. - Buy You Pack Here: http://bit.ly/22bPOae - Find Us On Amazon: http://amzn.to/1TYUtbh See all our other videos here: http://bit.ly/1RxyEsl Some people really like some of them (mostly from Los Angeles)!
