#25 My Hobbie

     My favorite hobby is backpacking I go once every 4 months on a trip to go backpacking. Its is a very fun hobby filled with adventure, beautiful view's, and a switchback mountain here and there. I like to think of backpacking as a combination of camping and hiking with a backpack. It is something that requires a taxing amount of planning before hitting the trail you must buy food check the map and choose a safe route to hike, finding a place to camp out for the night, and if you are going to need a topography map to measure a mountains elevation.
     The preparation is getting food and the kitchen equipment necessary to cook the food a typical hiking meal for the day would be eggs, meats, cheese, and gorp for the trail. It is obvious that when backpacking a sense of direction is necessary often when hitting a trail head leading you to your correct destination. It is my personal favorite to try and pick the sleeping spot around five is when we stop hiking in order to set up the camp prior to sundown usually on flat ground. I am always excited to  do what it takes to be a prepared and ready for the hike and it is something that i have truly became accustomed
