Get High, Literally
August 6th, 2010
One of the most enchanting places on Earth is atop a mountain. The air is fresh. The view is fantastic and you’ll be closest to the heavens. When climbing up a mountain make sure you have the right gear. Bad or wrong gear can cost you your life. Some essential gear are backpacking tent, sleep bag, earth pad, stove and a Swiss or hunting knife.
When getting a backpacking tent make sure you get one that’s suited for the terrain you’ll be climbing in. I once went climbing with some friends. One guy lost his tent due to high winds. Good thing we were there. If not, he could have died from the freezing weather.
