Outdoor Survival | How To Prepare For Beach Backpacking

In this episode we welcome back Fred for another conversation surrounding outdoor survival. This time, he brings along his son, Daniel, as they recall their most recent backpacking excursion down the east coast.  They covered about 47 miles in 3 days. Even when you're going on a shorter backpacking trip, it's important to decide how heavy of a pack you're willing to carry vs. how prepared you want (or need) to be.  Topics covered in this episode include: footwear, water carries and resources, wildlife, mental toughness, skin protection, and food packing and preparation.  It's always a comfort to have a hot meal at the end of a long, exhausting hike. That's why they took some Valley Food Storage meals along with them.  Want to add some new freeze dried food  and 72 hour emergency kits to your outdoor adventures? Valley Food Storage is offering a special deal for our podcast listeners.
