You have hiked up the steepest mountains, across the rockiest plains, and down the deepest caves. It may seem that there are no more challenges for you and your Brass Beaded Neck Chains. If so, then try wilderness hiking and camping! Those who want to truly get back to nature when camping, will enjoy wilderness camping. There are no trails. There are no campgrounds. And there are no facilities. However, you should make some traditional and special considerations when hiking and camping in the backcountry:

1. Be prepared. Be as ready as a Boy Scout for wilderness hiking and camping. These areas are very distant and secluded from cites and towns. In addition, the weather tends to be brutal in these regions, so be on guard for extreme temperatures and precipitation. In the wildness, self-preservation is the name of the game. Assistance could be days away, so do your best Davy Crockett and Paul Bunyan impersonations. Equip yourself with knowledge about how to survive in the wildness, as soldiers equip themselves with Military Neck Chains. But most importantly: use common sense! It could literally keep you alive!

2. What’s the plan? It is highly advisable that you inform someone you know, as well as the rangers at the national park field headquarters, about your itinerary. When wilderness hiking, sometimes you are days away from any assistance, so informing someone of your whereabouts and tentative camping plan, are as vital as wearing an ID on Brass Beaded Neck Chains or Elastic Neck Cords.

3. No yellow brick road (or trail). Hiking remains one of the most challenging aspects of wilderness camping. Typically there are no trails, so make sure to store a good map in your camping backpack. Coleman backpacks come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and colors. Fortunately, they can make it easier to survive the harsh environment of the wilderness. The terrain will be rugged, and vegetation will make your trek even more challenging. So you can probably hike an average of one miler per hour. That may not seem like much, but remember that without trails and their markers, your hike will be no walk in the park.

4. Doh! I forgot… It is even more crucial than when going on standard hikes, to bring all the gear you need when going wilderness hiking and camping. The nearest convenience store could be days away, so make sure that you have what you need. Your gear should include:

• Backpack
• Binoculars
• Cooking pot
• Extra set of clothes (don’t forget the socks!)
• First aid kit
• Flashlight (with extra batteries)
• Food
• Insect repellant
• Lantern
• Plastic bags
• Raingear
• Sleeping bag
• Stove and fuel
• Sunscreen
• Tent
• Toiletries
• Watch
• Water bottles with filter

5. Leave only your footprints behind. Campers are usually encouraged to clean up their campsites when leaving, and to never leave any garbage along the trail. However, it is particularly important that you “leave only your footprints behind,” including your valuable Elastic Neck Cords, when wilderness hiking and camping. These pristine areas are often part of national parks, so particular care should be used to keep them intact. Also, it is important to follow national park rules and regulations when in the wilderness. You must never take, shape or change the wilderness in any way.

If you love hiking and camping; and want the ultimate challenge, then consider wilderness camping. The key is to be prepared with the knowledge and gear that will make your experience as rewarding as wearing outstanding Military Neck Chains. Have a “wild” time camping in the wilderness!
