Tips on being a Good Backpacker

Foods is Priority As a backpacker, you must understand though that your health must be your priority when packing up your food. It would be very depressing if due to some health reasons, you would have to shorten your trips or go home earlier than expected. Thus, you have to consider the nutrients of the food you will bring along. You will need foods that are high in calories. Surprisingly, most foods with high calorie content get to be the lightest foods to pack as well. Those with pure fats, proteins and low moisture carbohydrates tend to be high in calories. Nuts, granola bars, bread, fruits and veggies can be counted under this category. There are specific foods though which you should not miss placing in your backpack. First in the list is olive oil. Olive oil by far is the healthiest of the oils which you can use as dip for your bread or any corn product.

The most important thing to bring along is your sleeping bag. Hiking sleeping bags can be one's temporary bedroom while out in the woods.

One hour climbing from Kalimati, we come in Arcopodo, Now the twins statues here are missing. The trail is narrow, stepy, and dusty. The deep valley in the left and in the right side through the woodland. The next journey is an open area with sandy, stepy and dusty. Hoping a good weather stay with us. One step we walk, a half feet we go down and burried in the sand. A cloudy night or fogs can make the sight not so clear. A storm can be so dangerous to contonue to the peak. In the top of the mountain, called Mahameru, We can enjoy an unforgettable and fantastic panorama towards many peaks of East Java, coasts and se...
