camping backpack with chair image
Pashu~Chan
Air Mattress, tent, cooler, folding chairs ect. I need it to be a very durable brand. My boyfriend and I are fairly overweight. I'd say the weight capacity between the two of us should be 500-600+ (he is either just below 300 or just above, im just below 250) if it matters.(don't hate fat kids need love too) And where would you suggest I buy them. I honestly don't want to order offline unless its absolutely needed. Price isn't an issue if its absolutely worth it.
Answer
You can easily spend ten times as much money on backpacking gear from high-quality brands as you need to spend for car camping equipment. Top brands include MSR, Big Agnes, The North Face, Marmot, Patagonia, Mountain Hardwear. However, you may be able to survive in gear that you purchase from a department store. You can purchase a double-thick air mattress from a department store that is about a fourth as much in cost as a Big Agnes Dual Core sleeping pad that is only 2.5 inches thick. Buy the gear to meet your needs, not the brand that seems the "best" to you.

How do I get in shape for backpacking?

I'm relatively out of shape- I only really walk. My boyfriend wants me to go on a backpacking trip with him in about a month and a half. It's going to be easier because I'm not the only first time backpacker going. I grew up in the mountains, so I'm used to higher elevations and hiking. What else can I do to get into shape?
Answer
Besides finding some local trails and begin hiking, preferably with a backpack, building up the weight.. make sure you have a decent pair of hiking boots.. not sneakers and you should break them in..before the first backpacking trip. Assuming your boyfriend has a list of equipment and clothes to take, I suggest a headlamp with a spare pair of batteries... you'll appreciate it more than a handheld flashlight! I am the camping committee chair for my Scout Troop. But back to getting in shape.. any aerobic exercise will go a long way for the backpacking.. and pack light.. that extra pound can feel like 10 when your carrying it on you back! Practice a few times with a pack loaded with everything you plan to take.
