The outdoor sport of hiking to a remote location and setting up your overnight camp requires plenty of preparation and fore thought concerning several aspects of this popular outdoor sport. first is to as yourself if you are in shape to complete the overnight camping trip you have planned. if not then get in shape or you are going to suffer and not be able to keep up with the other hikers. To assist you in this is always use camping hiking gear that is as lightweight as possible. Many novice's to this outdoor sport make the mistake of thinking they can use normal household items to fill out their backpack. This a serious mistake for a couple reasons. One is the weight and the second is the size. Let's take camping cookware for example. What you have in your kitchen is NOT what you need for camping hiking gear due to the bulkiness and weight. Select good lightweight camping cookware designed especially for backpacking. Other than good hiking boots your next important item of camping hiking gear has to be the backpack you use. Again, and I cannot stress this enough, lightweight is the rule. Especially if you are only going for one night. For longer overnight trips a slightly beefier backpack is required due to the additional supplies you will be toting.
