These are a few of the main considerations that need to be addressed when planning your trip. It is important to begin the planning process as soon as possible; two years ahead of time is not too early. This allows plenty of time to book your trip and work out the details. Each trip requires a different equipment checklist depending on where you go, when you go, and what type of camp you utilize. Being prepared is the main ingredient in the recipe for a satisfying and successful trip.
