A video show you how to use Hiking Poles.

There is a useful post on winehiker witiculture:

These Top 25 Rules, by their nature, are preventative, but they should not prevent you from enjoying your day in the wilderness. Instead, they are intended to help you be prepared for those instances when adventure can become disaster.

I don’t know if it’s the same in the rest of the world but here in Italy when walking on hiking trails is very hard to meet women, I guess that 80% of hikers are men.
If you are a woman here’s a checklist of six reasons why you should do mountain outdoor activities:

1. Walking uphill uses the muscles of your buttocks, you can avoid step machine and save your money!
2. Walking downhill stimulates abdominal muscles and lowering blood sugar levels, is it not enough?
3. If you use hiking poles you train also your pectoral, you can say good-bye to silicon!
4. Walking is one of the better way to avoid cellulite!
5. Every activity burn food calories, but more is the altitude more are the calories burned: yes, you will loose weight!
6. The sun shining even on mountains, it’s easy to find a place apart where to get a healthy glow.

If you are a male, please send an email to all the women you know with a link to this post, I’d like to see their opinion about it.
If you area female, please post your comments (however I guess that these six reasons are good for men also, everyone can comment this post).

The Haglofs Trident II Jacket is fit for summer hiking and all outdoor activities that needs a breathable Windstopper apparel.
Light and easy to pack, it’s Conceived to give us big comfort and durability, it has two large zippered chest pockets for a large accessibility and a 3-way adjustable hood that can be rolled up for easy storage when we don’t need it.
