Backpacking

Angela Scott and I are planning to try out backpacking. so we saved some money and got a few basic essential as a preparation–yes I know that we are spending a lot of money on something we haven’t fully tried out yet….*cough*….similar to my parents impulse buys……*cough* : )

but we figure we love hiking and camping and put it together and you get backpacking woohoo!! And the idea of up and leaving whenever we please with only the bare essentials is too tempting to pass up.

also sense at the moment I have no plans for my future and I have nothing in-particular to save up for why the heck not. outdoors here I come!

So far I have:

It was a ton of fun try out all the stuff in the store! They put my weight in our packs and we walked around trying the different packs out. oooooh and the pack we picked has a whistle in one of the buckles (suppose to keep the bears away lol–RIIIGGHHTT!) and they took of the hip belt and put it in the oven and then we had to wear it for a few minutes so that our hip belts would mold to our hips HOW AWESOME!!

still need……..

•  shoes
• water purifier
• socks!! gotta love ‘em

………not sure what else yet thats basically all we need minus food stuff and maybe better suited clothes, and I got pans and a stove thing from my dad who used to go backpacking too.
