MOLLE Backpacks are well known for their strength, versatility and efficient use of weight and space. It is unsurprising that this soldier's best friend has found its way into the adventure and leisure markets. Being a keen outdoors guy spending much of my leisure time hunting and fishing in remote wilderness, I need the best kind of equipment. The MOLLE backpack serves this purpose well. If it's good enough for the US army it's certainly good enough for my needs! They are designed to make carrying heavy loads sufficiently comfortable, maximizing safety and minimizing fatigue. The use of these bags by the military is proof of the excellence of their design, which is flexible and customizable enough to carry almost anything required. Its many custom design features, enable the bag to be successfully used in many environments.

MOLLE is an acronym for Modular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment. The modular design comes in the form of a pouch attachment ladder system made from durable nylon webbing which allows a multitude of accessories and pouches to be attached to its loops. In this way, it can be tailored to the needs of the wearer, and many essential things for outdoor adventures may be attached to the outside to be reached easily and also to free up space inside. There is, however, ample space inside all MOLLE backpacks which feature differently sized spacious compartments and numerous pockets. Large amounts of water can be carried. In addition to the dual side pockets for water bottles, the popular MOLLE 3 Day Assault Pack can fit up to 6 L of water contained in hydration bladder systems. This is essential for longer trips, especially in remote areas such as mountains.

The weight is distributed to ensure comfort and ease of use. The shoulder straps, (featuring quick release buckles and a D-ring for the attachment of equipment,) the vital lumbar support, sternum strap, and the load-bearing waist strap are all padded to minimize pain and fatigue when worn for long periods of time. MOLLE backpacks may also be carried using the heavy-duty side or top handles. MOLLE has engineered many inventive backpacks ideal for personal use, as well as military use. Most of these have covered vent holes from which a walking pole, radio antennae, or hydration system bladder tube, may easily poke out. Grommets for draining are usually included as standard too.

Because it is vital that zips do not fail and contents spill out far away from home or civilization, MOLLE have engineered bags with self-healing zips, meaning that even when the bag is crammed full of equipment, if the zipper should split, it easy to be reconnect it without damage. All in all, MOLLE backpacks are sought-after bags, rightly known to be amongst the best designed of their kind.

Western Australia is home to numerous amazing sights and wonders you may enjoy by touring. Many groups of mates go on an escape around the region just carrying around their own basic necessities. Backpacking is the official term for this activity.

My wife and I have been hiking and backpacking in the Grand Canyon for 25 years. We presently live in the Grand Canyon Village on the South Rim and routinely hike below the Rim several times a week. At times we get frustrated with the crowded corridor trails and the mules, so we seek to satisfy our adventuresome spirits elsewhere. The Waldron Canyon Loop has been a long time favorite of ours, it has tremendous beauty along with scary vertical exposure, it has serious class III scrambling combined with sketchy route finding. There are long stretches of chaparral forest along with desert landscapes. This is a miniature Rim2Rim2Rim that will test the most stout and resolute hikers. Please do not attempt this hike unless you are very confident in your outdoor abilities - there is no one that can help you where you are going.

PREPARATION

This hike will take approximately 6-8 hours and is just a little under 12 miles long. You will need to carry a map and it MUST be the Sky Terrain Grand Canyon version. This map is far more detailed than any other available map and is topographical. You will be lost without this particular map. It is best to carry a backpack with a 3L hydration bladder and an extra liter of water, food, first-aid, sunglasses, etc. It would be a good idea to also bring a GPS, the Sky Terrain map has UTM coordinates on the borders. Long pants are a good idea, there will be a lot of brush and cactus. A utility tool with a pliers is handy for pulling cacti thorns that will inevitably spike your legs. Finally and most importantly, this hike is best performed when the temperature is below 75 degrees. Do not think about attempting this hike during the summer months. The best months are November through April depending on the snow levels above the Rim.

FIRST LEG - Hermit's Rest to Dripping Springs

This is a well known hike and well documented through various media sources. One travels to Hermit's Rest via shuttle or private vehicle during the winter months. You descend Hermit's Trail for approximately one hour until you reach the Dripping Springs/Boucher Trail junction. You head west on the Dripping Springs Trail for another hour, past the Boucher Trail junction until you reach Dripping Springs itself. This portion of the trail hugs the Redwall along the way and is prone to rock slides. It also has some very serious vertical exposure...at times the trail is one foot wide and you can look down into the chasm approximately 1500' below your feet. There are a lot of hikers that turn around on this trail due to the rough conditions and the vertical exposure. Dripping Springs itself does provide water, however true to it's name - one drip at a time. It would take perhaps a half hour or longer to fill your liter bottle.

MIDDLE LEG - Dripping Springs to Eremita Mesa to Waldron Trail

This is the crux of the hike and it is best to take a few minutes rest at Dripping Springs before the next section. The next mile is defined as a route not a trail. You will need to stop often and look around to determine whether you are on or off the route. As you travel beyond Dripping Springs to the north east along the wall, there will be a large rock. There are bushes between the rock and the wall with a very faint upward trail, this is your starting point. You will be traveling in an easterly direction and looking for cairns, (manmade rock piles). The route is very sketchy and prone to rock slides, you will be stepping over and around prickly pear cactus and other obstacles. Try to stay as high as possible, but constantly look for cairns. In about ten minutes you will see an obvious man made staircase wall. This staircase will take you up to the next level and switchbacks for approximately 150' of vertical. The footing is loose and quite often the route is covered by pinion trees. Finally you will end up on a very faint trail with very few cairns which heads westerly over and above the actual Dripping Springs. The faint trail will eventually turn to the northwest and follow a small drainage that widens as you begin to gain elevation. Finally you will turn away from this drainage to a smaller drainage and will finally top out at the rim on Eremita Mesa. This entire section is perhaps only one mile, but can easily take between 1-2 hours to complete.

Once on top of Eremita Mesa you will find yourself in a pinion, juniper and cedar forest. The ground is quite sandy and feels great compared to the roller rocks of the previous few miles. There is not a defined trail right as you top out, but head in a southerly direction and you will find an old two-track road that is now closed. This is the striding portion of the hike where you can cover some serious ground and let your muscles stretch out a bit. After a couple of miles you will come to the termination of this particular road. There is a Dripping Springs Road Closed sign and you will enter an open area. There will be a two-track road heading to the south and another two-track road directly across from you heading in an easterly direction. You want to take the road (across from you) heading to the east which more closely parallels the rim. This road does get vehicle traffic from national park personnel and is likely the old Park Boundary Road. Hike down this road for approximately 3/4 mile and there will be an old two-track road on your left (north) towards the rim. This road is closed to vehicle traffic and has brush piles in the road to keep vehicles out. This is the first road to the left after the Dripping Springs Road Closed sign - don't miss it. There are no cairns or signs directing you onto this road. (Next time though we'll build a cairn monument at the turn.) Hike down this road in a northeasterly direction for approximately a half mile and you will see the Waldron Trail wooden sign on your left. It is pointed in the opposite direction, but you will likely notice the trail as well.

FINAL LEG - Waldron Trail back to Hermit's Rest

The Waldon Trail is a nice respite from the two-track roads of the last few miles. You immediately descend in a westerly direction into a small drainage filled with sage and after a few hundred yards swing back to the north towards the main drainage. You will pass by a small dam and water hole that sometimes has water, but is obviously frequented by deer and elk. Quite quickly you will begin gaining elevation as the canyon to your right begins to get deeper and shows signs of being part of the Grand Canyon. The trail only meanders for about 3/4 mile before you drop down into a small drainage, climb up the other side and top out on a spectacular saddle that commands a view from south to north of Waldron Canyon. There are plenty of places to rest, especially the flat rocks with views of the Canyon itself.

Dropping down on the WaldronTrail is steep for the first couple of switchbacks, but then as the switchbacks become longer, quite easy. Before long you will find yourself on the floor of Waldron Canyon heading in a northerly direction up and over several drainages. In twenty minutes or so you will find yourself at the junction with the Hermit's Trail. Turn right (easterly) and head back up the beautiful rip-rap steps of the Hermit Trail until you reach the Hermit's Rest trail head.

I mentioned earlier that this hike is a miniature Rim2Rim2Rim. Basically, you drop down 1000' of vertical from Hermit's Rest to climb 1000' of vertical from Dripping Springs to Eremita Mesa. Then you drop down 1000' on the Waldron Trail to climb back up 1000' on the Hermit Trail to Hermit's Rest. So, the trail has around 4000' of vertical change and is likely just under 12 miles. There are some wonderful picnic tables to the west of the Hermit Trail parking lot with a nice view into Waldron Canyon to reflect on the days hike and enjoy a well earned cold beverage.

Nomads, vagabonds, and wanderers alike agree that a foldable solar panel is the hiker and camper's best option for recharging on the go. Generators are simply too heavy to take into the woods and full size solar panels too big and bulky to carry. A portable, foldable solar panel is compact; folding to about the size of a large wallet in which one would carry a checkbook.

Camping and hiking used to be a way for people to get away from the rigors of everyday life. They would pack up and head to their favorite spot in the wilderness away from home and everything technological. Cell phones, WiFi, GPS, and laptops quickly changed the way people traveled through the wilderness and shared their stories with others.

The inclusion of technology to camping and hiking trips has resulted in saved lives as well as the opportunity for others to read about the adventures online. GPS technology allows the more daring adventurers the freedom to go as they please without too much worry of becoming lost in the wilderness. Their only concern in the early days of travel with technology was battery power.

Foldable solar panels have easily taken care of the issue of sustainable power on long trips. Now people can head out into the woods with their cell phone, GPS unit, and a small laptop, and share their adventure live online if they want. Recharging all of their electronics is a breeze; just unfold the solar panel and plug up for a few hours during daylight hours.

People who don't stop often during daylight hours usually attach the solar panel to their backpack so they can charge their electronic devices while they're hiking. This method works great for people who enjoy hiking from daylight to dusk, stopping very few times during the day.

Some companies that make foldable solar panels include all the plugs you need to recharge a camera, phone, flashlight and laptop. USB adapters and 12V adapters are extremely light weight and not very expensive if they're not included with the purchase of the panel itself.

The days of carrying a heavy power generator and extra battery to store power are over. Foldable solar panels weigh 1.5 to 3 pounds and easily fit into a backpack. They're ready to use immediately upon unfolding; no need to wait for them to build up power before plugging in your electronics.

GPS and phone capabilities on long trips allow travelers to stay in touch with loved ones while enjoying the great outdoors. Most GPS units may even be tracked by those at home so everyone can be included in the adventure, even if they were unable to go themselves.

Advances in technology allow campers, hikers, and backpackers to blog and use other social media during their travels. They build a following on social media websites while doing what they truly enjoy. These nomads, travelers and wanderers often live their entire lives traveling from place to place and sharing their lives online.

Foldable solar panels have been a very welcomed addition to the backpacks of many travelers who prefer a much simpler life on the road; or in the mountains, deserts or other terrain. Charging their electronic devices on the go is simply a way of life to these nomads and vagabonds.

One of the most unique hikes in all of the National Park system is the Narrows, of Zion National Park, in Utah. For the adventurous, this 16 mile trek from the trail head north of Zion back into the Park itself, involves wading, and occasionally swimming, through the Virgin River, as you travel the slot canyon that the river has carved through the Navajo Sandstone. You'll encounter free standing arches, waterfalls, springs, and sheer walls of limestone towering up to 1000 ft over head. Although river hiking is strenuous, and a back country permit is required to hike the entire length, you can opt for the easier day hike (no permit required) that starts from the end of the Riverside Walk trail in Zion.

Before you even consider hiking the Narrows, you must be aware of the dangers. The Narrows are slot canyons which are prone to flash floods both during and after periods of heavy rain (both in Zion, and further north on the Colorado Plateau). The Park service displays the current weather conditions and flash flood potential (from Low to Severe) in the Visitor Center. Since much of the hike is over slippery rocks under a rapidly moving current, injury from slips and falls are common. A good pair of water shoes, neoprene socks (the water can be quite chilly), trekking poles, and a dry pack is highly recommended.

The trail head for a day hike of the Narrows, is actually the Riverside Walk, beginning at the Temple of Sinawava, the last stop on the Park's shuttle bus route. This first mile is a relatively level paved path that runs parallel to the Virgin River, ending at a small overlook, with paved steps that lead in to the river. This is where the actual bottom-up (because you're hiking upstream) hike of the Narrows begins. Unless you plan on wading the entire way up the middle of the river, you'll immediately cross the river and hike along the far shore. Approximately ¼ mile upstream is the reason you'll want to have a dry pack with you. Here the depth of the river increases to ~4ft for close to 50 ft, so all electronics (cameras, iPods, etc) need to be kept high and dry.

Once past this section, the hike itself is relatively easy, as long as you maintain a reasonable pace, and be careful where you're stepping. Remember, you're in a river, so the rocks are slick, rounded, and many are unstable. Also remember to keep your trekking pole (or hiking stick) downstream to help maintain your balance, especially when crossing in sections where the current is swift.

The average hiker will take 2 - 3 hrs to travel the 3 - 4 miles to the section of the Narrows known as Wall Street. Here you'll see the stunningly beautiful slot canyons that make hiking the Narrows such a memorable experience. Conventional wisdom is that it typically takes 2/3 of your time to hike out, but I found that hiking in we stopped so often to take photos that it took us longer to hike in, than it did to hike back out. Every turn in the river brings spectacular new scenery and stunning views that you'll want to remember.

One last bit of advice. Only 80 backcountry permits are distributed daily for those who plan to cover the entire 16 mile hike, while over 2,000 visitors a day will attempt the shorter day hike up from the Riverside Walk to Wall Street. So if hiking the Narrows is on your agenda, arrive early and beat the crowds, then enjoy a delicious lunch back at the Lodge.

Hiking tents come in variations. One may not really be able to categorize in what aspect would make a tent better. But there are so many things to consider before one can get the right tent for their hiking activities. Hiking tents are carried onto one's back. For some, it should be lightweight since one will be hiking or walking down long roads. However, for some, it is better to choose one that has the right material for its durability. These products come in so many variations like the sizes, shapes and designs. One will definitely be confused with what to purchase because of these. But as long as you have certain considerations to look into, you will definitely land on the right decision.

The first thing to consider is its weight. Keep in mind that during hiking, you will be carrying all of your things on your back. So, it is better if the tent will not be too much on its weight so that you can have an easier time walking to your destination. Some hiking tents can fit in regular backpacks. This can be better as you are taking off excess weight from carrying the carry-along bag of your tent. You can also share the weight of your things. If you hike in groups, some other members of the group may carry the poles of the tent while others carry other stuffs.

The inner space that the tent provides is an important factor to look into. If you will be going in tandems, then the tent should be able to accommodate at least two to three persons. This should provide the both of you enough space in the tent to move around. It can also keep all of your things. Always ask how many people the tent can accommodate. This is to avoid crowding inside the tent. This will also give way to your backpacks and other things.

The way it is set up is also an important point to consider. Choose one that is easy and quick to set up. Check on the instruction manual first so that you can make sure that it is easy to follow and you are capable of setting it up. The most common complaint about tents is that it is difficult to build and takes time before one can set it up. To avoid this, make sure that you have read its instruction guide.

And lastly, check on its durability and how it can withstand weather conditions. During hiking, no one can really predict the weather. And it is important that the tent can withstand rains and extreme sun rays. This should be your weather defense while you are outdoors. Check on its material if it does not easily break or get damaged. It is important that your tent can protect you while you are out in wilderness.

Choosing the right tent will provide the most comfortable and best outdoor adventure. So, thorough inspection on the tent will help you achieve this.

Sleeping bags are very important for a camper. This is where they can spend the night during their camping period. This is also where they can rest comfortably without being too exposed to the outdoor elements. This can also be a carrying bag when one is traveling. This is like carrying a tent in a bag. It is very convenient, easy to transport and useful. No camper should be without this equipment. However, it is important for a camper to choose the right sleeping tent to purchase. This is to make sure that they will be able to sleep comfortably even while they are in the outdoors. Here are some tips so that you will land on the right decision on which sleeping bag to purchase and use.

First of all, you must consider its weight. Keep in mind that you will be carrying too many stuffs and equipments. And you cannot afford to add more weight to your things. Choose a sleeping bag that is light weight and easy to carry. It should be comfortable and convenient to bring along. Another thing to think about is how much tolerance it can have with different temperatures. Some people would want to camp in mountains that are too cold. It is important that your sleeping bag can withstand cold and heat which will be helpful in protecting the camper from any bad weather.

The size will also be a factor to consider. If you are a tall person, then you cannot fit in a small sleeping bag. Make sure that you check on the size right away before purchasing it or you will be facing a big dilemma. Sleeping bags are present to make you feel comfortable while sleeping even when you are in the outdoors. If the bag does not fit your size, then you will not have a comfortable time sleeping. And lastly, make sure that the sleeping bag is water resistant. You would not want to sleep on a bed that is soaking with water, right? So, ask the store if it can resist water so that you will remain dry and comfortable while sleeping in the outdoors.

This can be crucial to the life of a camper. If they have purchased and used an incorrect choice, their camping experience will be affected. So, making the right choice should always be practiced. You should only buy your sleeping bags from known stores. Also, choose one that has a good and reputable brand. With this, you will never regret ever buying one. One of the known and well trusted brands is the Black Wolf sleeping bags. These are more preferred by many campers as they are giving them the best quality of products which campers can be able to make use of for a very long time. Known brands are more trustworthy as these are the ones often used by many campers around.
