Yours truly by the Manistee River Trail

Welcome to Pure Country Hiking.com!

It is possible for you to have a safe and fulfilling backpacking experience.

The Backpacking Basics section contains articles on the essentials for backpacking, how to take care of your gear and clothes and much more. Articles will be added constantly and we will try our best to keep you up to date with what is going on the backpacking world. The easiest way for us to do that for you is through our Newsletter. There are other articles in all of our sections so be sure to check them out.

Since wilderness survival is such a strong element to backpacking there is a Wilderness Survival Guide for you. Hikers should know this information in order to stay safe on the trail. Most backpackers that lose their lives do so because of a lack of knowledge on how to survive. Be prepared!

Lightweight trekking is a big subject and covers a lot of ground. One of these is food, cooking food and Drying and Dehydrating are a source of a lot of conversation. Learning how to do these tasks can be a lot of fun and they can also be a challenge. We are providing information that you can use to do dehydrating and will be adding cooking later

So for now help yourself to our information and check back to see what else is new. We will be updating every week and bringing you new information.
