Backpack Compact

Backpack Compact
Bible Camp?

I’m going to Bible camp tomarrow, and I feel like I’m bringing too many bags with! I’m bringing my Duffle Bag, Sleeping Bag (in it’s bag thingy), Pillow (it won’t fit in my duffle), and backpack (as a carry on for the ride up). does this seem like too many bags? Any ideas on how I can compact my stuff?

I can totally relate, I always feel like an over-packer but I never know how to get rid of anything. One idea is maybe if your Duffel Bag handles could strap around your pillow it just looks like one bag and you can still carry it by the handles. Or if there is another smaller pillow in the house that you could use for camp (like a small couch pillow). Or maybe the pillow could fit with the sleeping bag. You could also count on using a jacket as a pillow, although that could be uncomfortable if you’re spending more than a few nights. But to be honest, it doesn’t sound like you have too many bags, because you have to bring the sleeping bag, backpack and duffel. Good luck.

Backpacking – Top Tips On What To Look For In A Backpacking Stove

As there can be many options when it comes to buying a backpacking stove so many backpackers get confused in choosing the best stove. It is an extremely useful item so making the correct choice is key so follow these great tips to realize the options that are available.

When it comes to choosing a backpacking stove the first thing you should consider is choosing a stove that actually satisfies your backpacking needs. A huge bulky stove is no good for backpacking but in contrast, a stove that is too small isn’t much use either as it will be too small to prepare your food. Although you should consider your own requirements when you are choosing one, there are a few basic points to bear in mind that every backpacking stove should have.

A backpacking stove needs to be durable and sturdy. It is much safer to have a sturdy stove. Look for features like strong legs as you may not always have smooth ground to set up your stove. You should be able to stir a pot without it tipping over.

Choose a stove that is easy and simple to use. Look how easy it is to set up and fold up once you have finished using it. It should fold up to be very compact so it can fit in your backpack without taking up too much room.  Observe how easy it is to connect up to your fuel and disconnect afterwards. Fully read the instructions and understand how to vary the heat. There are stoves available with built in wind screens – this is something you may want to consider as it is a brilliant help in windy weather so that your stove stays lit throughout your cooking.
