Backpacking - Six Ways to Save Money

As pack weights get lighter and going into the wilderness gets safer, backpacking also is getting more and more expensive. How do you save money without giving up the ultralight equipment and safety gear? Let's look at a few different ways.

Backpacking  in the most remote places has become much safer now that there are personal locator beacons. One I recently saw advertised lets you call for help to 911 and family or friends at the touch of a button. It will even locate you on Google maps so others can see exactly where you are. Of course, at almost $200 for the device plus an annual fee of $100 per year for the service, it isn't cheap.

My alternative? Just bring your cell phone and GPS unit. If you already own the phone you will only have to buy the GPS, and using it is free. When in trouble you can call for help on your phone and give the coordinates of where you are. They can type them into an online service themselves to see where you are on a map. Since your cell phone probably isn't satellite based, coverage won't be quite as good as the expensive locator, but it is a reasonable way to save money. Here are five more.

1. Buy used gear.

I would never buy an old sleeping bag, because the filling gets destroyed with time. On the other hand, there is nothing wrong with used aluminum pans or tent stakes. I have seen both in thrift stores for a fraction of what they cost new. You can also find some decent backpacking equipment online at either Ebay or in outdoor forums which allow users to sell their old gear.

2. Stay close to home.

A big part of the expense of backpacking can be the travel expenses to get to the trailhead. But do you really have to go 2,000 miles to backpack somewhere beautiful? If you intend to eventually hike some of the trails closer to home, why not start with them? Inevitably there will be destinations you never get to, so why not have them be the more expensive ones?

3. Buy real foods.

Forget the expensive freeze-dried backpacker's meals. Bring nuts, granola and other inexpensive real foods. For cooked meals, bring instant brown rice and a fast-cooking legume like red lentils. Noodles with olive oil, parmesan cheese and spices can be more delicious than a freeze-dried dinner and cost only a fourth as much. Many supermarket foods are better than specialty "backpacking meals" in my opinion.

4. Buy regular clothing.

Contrary to the impression given by outdoor clothing manufacturers, you don't need a new high-tech wardrobe to get out into the wilderness. Instead of a $16 super-wicking t-shirt, try a 50/50 cotton polyester blend t-shirt from Wal-Mart for $4. It will probably be more comfortable, and dry almost as fast if it gets wet. In a warm climate with brief summer showers you can forgo the $120 waterproof/breathable rain jacket in favor of a $20 low-tech one, or even a $2 emergency poncho. There are usually ways to save a lot of money on clothing if you consider where you'll be going and what is truly necessary.

5. Base camp.

If you just want to get out and hike, you might consider camping in your car or in a cheap tent next to it. You can hike all day with just water, food, and the few other things you need in any cheap day pack (buy it used at a thrift store to save money), and return to the car to sleep. You don't need a great sleeping bag, backpack, tent or other expensive gear if you don't plan to spend your nights out there in the woods. This technically isn't backpacking, but perhaps the point for you is just to see and hike in some beautiful places, and on a budget.

undies under compression shorts?

do you you wear undies under compression shorts. I wear white underarmour compression shorts when jogging and a black t-shirt. I don't wear any shorts over my compression shorts. just wondering, though, if I should wear undies underneath. I mean, i think it would defeat the purpose of wicking away sweat, but I wonder if should. If so, should I wear a thong or bikini briefs? with a bikini I would have VPL so would prefer a thong, but then you can see the outline of my thong. And what color. I only have white and red thongs. They both show a bit.

Thanks for your help.

Just go naked under the compression shorts, maybe throw some shorts on over the top if your uncomfortable exposing yourself that much but no undies under your compression shorts its just isn't comfortable and it kinda defeats the purpose.

Vintage Rock T-Shirts $24.24 These artifacts of the original rock and roll era recall a time that seems simpler, less commercial, and more meaningful. The tee shirts shown here weren't produced for commercial use but as promotional giveaways by record companies, fans, and festivals such as Woodstock, and the designs from the early days look homemade and amateurish. As band shirts became available, record companies discovered the promotional power of the tee shirt as human billboard, and their lucrative potential was realized, with shirts bearing logos, band names, show venues, and other marketable details. Ultimately rock tee shirts worn with jeans and sneakers became a uniform of conformist non-conformism. Now the tee shirts from these early days have become one of today's hottest--and most costly--fashion trends. For many people, rock and roll has become a lifestyle. "Vintage Rock Tee-Shirts" is a snapshot of this earlier era, with hundreds of T-shirts, advertisements, logos, and archival photos.

Vintage T Shirts $36.95 With the addition of just a few letters or an image the simple T-shirt can become a personal billboard. What started as the standard issue undershirt of the U.S. military, by the mid-1970s had evolved into a means of self-expression and individualism. Musical taste, political slant, favorite TV show or movie, vacation destination and brand preference — it's all on a tee. From DIY to the mass market, the printed T-shirt has been embraced by fashion designers and artists, street culture and brand-building corporations. Yet its basic form and function are unchanged. This quintessentially American item — best teamed with a pair of blue jeans — remains the simplest and most direct way of broadcasting our ideals and allegiances, sense of humor and cultural passions. Selected from the collection of Patrick and Marc Guetta, owners of World of Vintage T-Shirts on Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles, this book assembles over 650 stone-cold classics of the genre. Drawn primarily from the golden era of the 1970s and 1980s, these vintage T-shirts are not merely nostalgic artifacts; they represent an historical record of political, popular and corporate thought in America. "Vintage T-Shirts" documents the most striking variations on this infinitely versatile garment." "With an introduction on the history of the T-shirt in American popular culture by Alison A. Nieder, " Vintage T-Shirts" is an essential work of reference for anyone interested in pop culture, fashion, or graphic design
