the above information which you have provide is not tips.What does this line is meant for "Start early, go fast and pack light".The only thing which i can accept is the pack light part.Other things are not even considering.What winner has said is trueWhen i was hiking for the first time, i was a newbie without the knowledge of the rules and the basics of hiking. So waht should one know before hiking? What to have?
Here is a small tip for that,
Start early, go fast and pack light.
Hope it helps someone.
Sunny, I like you already. The simple fact that you are totally willing to give us your opinion without regard for your personal safety on this site as being a troublemaker, a miscreant, or someone who should be chastised and sent packing, is a blessing. Too long have I sat back and thought the people on this site have no soul. I want someone who will bite back. I like it when a person stands his ground.I think he was trying to tell us something and you people just offend him. You people just shut up and listen or dont tell anything you dont contribute anything and what the hell??
Great advice! I just started doing this on hikes 10 miles or more to help prevent blisters.also change you socks 2 times a day
