3 day camping backpack image

John

I just got a Goal Zero Nomad 3.5 from REI but im not too sure that im gonna like it. I am going on a 9 day camping trip in North Carolina and will need to keep head lamp, iphone, and GoPro charged. Im not too sure that this little thing can do it. I do want something small and lightweight so its easy to carry on a backpack. Any suggestions?

Answer
You just bought the best that money buy. However weather and where you place it will make a difference. I have found that strapping them to the top of my pack I don't have to sit around and wait for my electronics to charge. I use it them to recharge batteries for my camera, GPS and ham radio

what are the rules, and regulations for camping in michigan on hiking trails?

Ryan Labar

the situation is, there is a 30 mile hiking trail we plan on backpacking the entire trail over the course of 2-3 days. being that it is not private property, but also not state forest area, can we legally camp on the trail with a proper camping permit?

also does anyone know the rules for camp fires in this situation?

thanks in advance!

Answer
What 30 mile trail? there are many. When a trail traverses many districts camping just anywhere can be an issue, ie adjoining private property local ordinances etc. National forests allow dispersed camping and that to some degree allows you to camp almost anywhere the limitations being 200ft away from water etc. State forests are more stringent as well as county parks so a good study of the map will be necessary and calling ahead to find out when and where you can camp.
