Your hiking in the woods- miles away from civiazation; -you have a tent, food, water and some medic supplies. Like, a few large/small bandages, one wrap and neosporin.(However you spell that..)

Your dog falls off a rock and breaks his hind leg and gets a large gash in his middle. What would you do?

I’m trying to see what kind of medical supplies I would need if I went hiking with my dog and to see what to do in worst case’.

    My brother showed me a website a few years ago that exclusively sold one item each day. These items were usually outdoor equipment like tents, kayaks, hiking boots, bicycles etc etc. But it was only one item each day, like an overstock situation. Any thoughts?

      We’re heading to that area around the end of June and are looking for good places to camp. We’re tent campers who like quiet and hiking. A nice swimming hole would be a welcome addition.

      Anybody know of pretty, quiet camp areas with lots of hiking?

        I’m looking for something within 50 miles of Toronto. Anything simple is fine. I just need to be able to rent a cabin or a tent for a night. Also, if hiking is available, it’d be great…I’m just not sure if Ontario has mountains. Googling topographic maps of Ontario didn’t turn up with great results.

          One of the first things I have learned when camping/backpacking is to never keep any kind of food inside your tent at all. If so, and one is backpacking, say through the Rockies, then where should you put your food when you are not hiking?

            We’re going up to the middle of nowhere for the weekend to get out of town. We don’t have a generator (though we will have his car battery). Just a tent and a propane grill. Right now lots of intimate time and hiking is all that’s on the agenda. Any other ideas for what we could do/take with us?

              I recently bought a tent for hiking with, and it is advertised as a 2+ season tent, not a 2 season. Can someone simplify this for me on what kind of conditions a 2+ can withstand?

                I’ve been trying to decide on a place to go hiking with a friend for a few days next week, but we don’t have a car, so I’ve been looking for parks that are easy to get to from a tour bus station or train station. For example, one that caught my eye was ??????? tat mok national park because, from what I’ve read, it’s easy to catch a rod song taew there from meung phetchabun. However, just from looking through some maps and photos, it seems like there might be a very long stretch of road to traverse after entering the park before we reach a trail (if anyone could confirm or deny this, that would be great). Not having a car, this poses a problem, since walking down the highway for 18 miles isn’t exactly the hiking we had in mind. We had the same problem at Khao Yai. Too much pavement before you find a trail.

                So, I was hoping you guys could suggest me a park that is easy to get to without a car and where the hiking begins soon after you enter the park. Also, I am looking for a park with campgrounds where you can rent a tent, because we don’t own our own tent either.

                  We live in NW CO and are looking for lakes to spin and bait cast for trout (or any fish for that matter) that are relatively close. We love to tent camp. Ideally we would be at as a secluded, treed site as possible near the water without much of a hike in as we are older. Thank you in advance and have a great day!
