How do I choose the backpack?
Different from backpacks of daily use, which support about 15 liters, the cargo backpacks are known as the backpacks of camping, they usually carry from 60 to 90 liters. And why all this? If you are going to venture through the night outdoors and go walking, then your backpack should bear the weight of tent, sleeping bag to sleep, clothes, food, pots ... But when choosing a backpack, try it before the decision. Make sure it is comfortable, if it has regulation that adjusts the distance between the shoulders and hips. Handles, belts and cushion back are fundamental. You will carry too much weight for long hours and need to wear something comfortable. Another important point to be noticed in the choice are the pockets, embedded rain hood and tape for you compress and store material from the sidelines. There are also backpacks that bring output to hydration hose and special location for the cantle flexible. They are increasingly used and always very efficient, since you do not need to stop exercising to moisturize.
How do I choose the sleeping bag?
First you must decide the format of the sleeping bag. There are two types available in the market. They are:
Camping - are rectangular. They usually open fully and become a cover. Some come with hooded, which facilitates in cold nights but, in general, they are bags to warm places, because the greater openness lets the heat escape easily. For those who move a lot during the night, these models are the best.
Mummy - accompanies the format of the body and heats better, and it is more compact and lightweight. All such bags have zippers and allow transform it into bag of spouses (make sure you bought bags with zippers placed on opposite sides, so that you can join them). Some come with compressor tapes to reduce the size when stored.
But before any decision you must examine some issues. How you intend to use your equipment, in which time and situation and so on. Are you going camping near the car? Will you use it in camps wild, and therefore need to carry it inside the backpack? Do you only camp on beaches and in warm places? Do you need a multi function equipment which become a cover or a sleeping bah which supports negative temperatures?
The sites and specialized stores bring some of those answers in the characteristics of the products that can help you choosing it.
What should I concern before buying a tent?
Like everything, it is worth to think about how you will use it. It is to carry in the back? Then, the weight will make all the difference. For how many people? Remember that a tent for three people is heavier than to two people but, in contrast, if three will be using it, the weight can also be divided into three. For three or four seasons? (This is a convention that defines whether the tent is for summer, spring and autumn, three stations, or also to winter, four seasons). If you want to use it only in Brazil, the option is three seasons. If you want to use in high mountain, you need one of four seasons and, most likely, with skirts on the over-roof, to close it decently in the cold and snow season. Moreover, it will be a little "uncomfortable" in a camp in the Brazilian beaches. One of the most important tips to give to you is that once you have chosen the tent and bought it, learn how to mount it before the trip. In some cases you will mount it at night and read the manual in the light of a flashlight is somewhat complicated. So in the same store, ask the seller to teach you how to mount the tent and come back home again to mount it so it becomes practical.
