    What kind of food should i bring for hiking/camping?

    You can eat cheaply. You do not need the fancy dehydrated food packages that your cousin is probably buying. You can build your own with instant brown rice, instant pearled barley, quick-to-cook, thin-style, whole-grain pasta. A few foods you can pack: Nuts, dried fruit, Bear Creek soups...

    do you enjoy hiking in the rain?

    You never hiked Mills Bluff, Wisconsin. One hundred-twenty minutes of hiking, one hundred-twenty-five ticks. Hiking questions are best asked under "Camping."

    What would i take with me on a hike of the appalechians?

    Learn to abbreviate etcetera before you attend college. You will not be likely to be hunting for provisions on the Appalachian Trail. State laws govern the harvesting of game, so you will need to comply with wildlife regulations of different jurisdictions. You should have overnight...

    Best father-son international week long hiking/backpacking trip?

    Backpacker Magazine and National Geographic offer some ideas. Personally, I think New Guinea is lush. In the United States, I enjoyed living among the bears of Katmai, Alaska, except for the rain forest weather. For the sunny weather of Colorado, I think that Holy Cross Wilderness Area or...

    WOuld these boots be appropriate for hiking?

    Get over cute and start looking for a worthwhile, serious hiking boot. I would be FOF LMAO if I saw a woman wearing your choice of boot on a hiking trail.

    I need to make something/anything with nothing but stuff from the outdoors....

    "No knives or tools or anything" eliminates just about EVERYTHING. If you are allowed basic stone-age tools, then you may try making spearheads by breaking rocks or obsidian. You can try fire-building. You can construct animal traps and snares. You can build a canoe from bark and use roots...

    Cooking outdoors - would this work?

    I suggest for ease of use, control of temperature, light weight, clean flame that you purchase a folding metal stove enclosure, $10, and a can of Sterno, $4, with a small kettle, $10. The Sterno fuel can will last about one day of cooking with hot water. Generally, Sterno is sold in a...
