I love to walk! It just makes me feel great. It gives a boost to my mood, for no matter how I started the walk, I invariably feel better when I'm through.

It's so healthy to walk, it's unbelievable. The President's Council on Physical Fitness states: "Walk every chance you get. Walking is actually one of the best all-around physical activities." And there's no arguing with the President.

Camping and hiking are a world of their own. There's no describing the excitement, exhilaration and joy of a mountain climb in the sunset. There are things you should be aware of though. (Not like me who learned the hard way). For instance, you walk with a bent knee when climbing. On steep terrain, breathe deeply and climb slowly with a shortened stride. Rest five to ten minutes of every hour even when you're not tired. I've acquired speed by tilting my body forward, thrusting harder with my legs, and even a slight crouch, with a longer arm swing. My length of stride is not too long, for the effort of forcing the body to reach that forward leg becomes excessive. Its also not too short, for than energy is wasted in swinging the legs too many times.

The key words for equipment are quality and weight. The best quality. The lightest weight. Think light! Every ounce is crucial! The Adventure Awaits!
