Backpack Camp Questions
Is it too dangerous to backpack in Western Europe?
by backpack, i mean camp outside in a tent for most of the trip. my mom backpacked through europe when she was my age in the 1970′s. is it too dangerous to do that now? which western european nations are the safest for backpackers?
It’s certainly not dangerous, but the problem you will find these days is just where to put up your tent. When your mother backpacked through Europe it was probably OK to camp by riversides or in parks in big cities. Nowadays this is not allowed, and wild camping in the countryside is also not allowed in most countries. The majority of backpackers sleep in hostels and these can be found throughout Europe.
Also, when your mom travelled through Europe she could probably stay as long as she liked. Now you need to be aware of the Schengen Zone, which includes most of Western Europe with the exception of the UK, where, as an American citizen, you can only spend 90 days out of every 180 days.
If you’re serious about backpacking through Europe, get a copy of Lonely Planet’s book ‘Europe on a Shoestring’. It’s aimed at budget travellers and, as well as being a travel guide, gives tips on budget accommodation, food, transport, visas etc.
Nothing Like A Little R&R In Your Camping Hammock
It is likely that everyone has seen camping hammocks before, and gets to play the idea that they are fun and a sure kind of novelty. Portable hammocks are often compared to folding camp chairs when it comes to their use that is to offer comfort when lounging around or dallying some time in campsite, but not associated with necessity. A serious camper frequently does not take much especially when it comes to comfort items. Much of what they would bring is their tent, backpack, food, and several clothing, probably at times include a good reading material such as a book or a magazine or even maybe a harmonica to play during campfires. Backpacking camping hammocks are always considered large and heavy regardless how safe they appear to be.
Camping hammocks are not the conventional approach to backpacking, however if realized could be a very helpful part to any backpacking. In a conventional way one can always acquire tents, sleeping bags, or may be a sleeping pad that can be used when resting or snoozing and to keeping warm. Conversely, camping hammocks provide an easy way to keep anyone warm from the ground. This may sound unbelievable but it is true, an all-weather camping hammock is certainly more comfortable than others except for heated sleeping bags. This is mostly due to the air that envelops you rather than the on ground where the heat is rapidly taken away.
Camping hammocks allow you to remain warmer by protecting you from the ground and even with much fewer equipment. They are lightweight and thinner than similar sleeping bags, you might even not need a tent or a rain fly except for when it’s really rainy or extremely cold. Camping hammocks can be reasonably utilized in just about any kind of weather especially because you are camped high from the ground and can sleep or relax comfortably. You can always find a suitable camping hammock specifically designed to whatever weather in places you are residing through.
Although, there are weather conditions that may be taken into consideration when conventional tents and heated sleeping bags are much better to use. For instance, if you have to contend with snow or an extremely cold weather it is much advisable to utilize a camping tent that can insulate and secure you during this kind of condition. As much as you would like to take along a portable hammock, this may not work out fine. Even so, for anyone who enjoys the outdoors and camping out, a portable hammock can offer many advantages. Besides that is lightweight and portable, it provides a great place to relax and sleep comfortably.
