BACKPACK CAMPING

Planning on hitting the trails? Backpack camping is a great way to camp, because you can often get to campsites deep in the woods where cars aren’t allowed. Here are some tips that will help you and your family:

• If some of your supplies come in large containers, repackage
them yourself into smaller containers so you’re only carrying
what you need for the trip.

• Make sure that most of the weight is in the center of the pack.
This helps reduce the amount of strain on your back.

• Tighten all of the straps. It’s a lot easier to carry your pack
when you’re wearing it the right way!
