I learned how to backpack after the age of 50, when at the time, I didn't even hike. Which means if I can do it, so can YOU! I've now been backpacking over a dozen years and have compiled a system of the best practices to safely learn how to carry you 'home' on your back.
We discuss how to condition your body to carrying weight, and how to do so progressively and safely so you minimize any change of injury.
Couple this episode with the How To Buy, Fit and Pack Your Backpack to develop YOUR backpack system. Be sure to check out other skills and checklists on the podcast and this website, to drill down even deeper on what goes in your Emergency Kit, how to filter your water, gear tips and hiking tips. See the complete list HERE.
