I’m going hiking/camping for a month on the Appalachian Trail starting in June. i hope to sleep under the stars as often as possible, but there will be weather issues I’m sure. Which one person tent (under 0) would be the best for this?

I am looking for a weekend long hiking and camping trip. I will be going this weekend. I want to find a place where I can backpack and hike. I would like long trails with secluded places to set up a tent without disturbance from other hikers. I would also like to be able to build a fire.

I’m planning a trip this summer and will be using my Specialized Allez Race Bike. Seeing that I can’t hook up a basket, is it ridiculous to use a hiking backpack that stores my clothes and tent and other stuff in? I’m riding halfway to my cabin, camping, then riding the other half and then back (same process). Is there any other way to attach some kind of carrier to the back of my bike for my back’s sake?

I am looking for a place with a like 30 mile trail that you can camp on. By camp I mean pitch a tent in the middle of the forest and get ready for more hiking in the morning. Thank you!

Walking 25km (15.5miles) with a 15kg (33 pounds) backpack..
And rafting 25km over 9 days.
Is that hard? I’m between the ages of 13-17.
Lets keep in mind that; I love my hair straightener, my makeup, my phone, my iPod and my computer. And yes, I’m a Princess-I have never slept in a tent before.
Actually I soppuse its 7 days really

Some time back I went for some extensive hiking in the Indian Himalayas. I know: Many of you wouldn’t even think about walking barefoot up there! But believe me: It was SO much fun! I didn’t carry any shoes, not even in my backpack. I enjoyed every minute of the trip on my bare soles… The trek to the source of the Ganges river was a special experience: 36 km (18 km one way) of mountain trails, two nights in a tent… Climbing over countless rocks, wading through ice-cold rivulets… Crossing little patches of snow… Many interesting sensations for my well-trained bare feet! Yes, it’s all about additional sensual experiences – that’s what makes travelling and hiking barefoot so special! Feeling the rough granite beneath my soles, crossing a muddy meadow, patches of snow and little streams providing some refreshment… Tired feet are unknown to me, even after many kilometres of brisk hiking! That’s one big advantage of hiking barefoot… And there is the way I experience temperature: Nights are quite chilly up there (the thermometer once dropped to -2 ° C), but during daytime, things change quickly as soon as the first rays of the sun are touching the ground! It’s amazing to be able to FEEL the difference between a shady and sunny section of the trail! I was spending the night in an open tent together with other hikers. The morning was quite chilly, and while having a cup of chai, a girl from Tel Aviv admired my ability to “stay bare” in the cold! She told me she would love to do the hike barefoot too, and I assured her that after a few weeks of travelling barefoot, she’ll be able to do things like that without ever having to bother about her feet. On my way back I passed a couple in their early 30ies. The husband looked a bit surprised, spotting my tanned bare feet, but his wife gave me a big smile, saying: “Barefoot – that’s great”. What do you think: Is hiking barefoot more fun than wearing heavy alpine boots?

So every year my friends and I go camping with my family, and my boy cousin brings some of his friends. We hike up to this waterfall every trip, but this year we are gonna sleep up at the waterfall for the night. In order to bring less gear, we are only bringing one tent. Any tips on sharing a tent with 4 guys?
Also, our ages range from 14-16, so we aren’t thinking about having sex or anything like that.
there are gonna be 3 adults there, but they will be in a separate tent

For over 20 years I have dreamed of hiking the Pacific Crest Trail, which travels over 2,600 miles from Mexico to Canada. After surviving over ten years of some pretty serious depression, I am finally ready to start a new life and would love to finally do the trail before I get too old! Do any boot, backpack, tent manufacturers etc. ever sponsor hikers in desperate need…and if so does anyone know how to go about asking or applying?
I am planning on writing a book and maintaining a web site about my struggles, both with the hike and the depression as well as (hopefully) my triumph in conquering both. I would be happy to put their logos all over my site, test their gear and give them reports, etc. I just don’t know how to get something like that going.
Thanks!
