Step by Step Into the Devoted Hikers’ Net

Once you get into the spirit of some sort of sport or recreational activity, in my case hiking, all of a sudden, you start to zero in on all the details that could take the whole experience up a notch. During the last five months, one could bet their bottom dollar that every Saturday and Sunday morning I’d be soaking up fresh air and sun on some glorious mountain’s top.

However, as my legs got stronger, my hikes got longer and the next thing I realized needs an upgrade was my throwaway plastic water bottles routine. The one thing that inevitably happens when one spends 8-10 hours a week being a total nature freak is, well, the obvious – healthier lungs and a nicely shaped behind, but also the emerging of a greener mind.

Since I decided plastic bottles can no longer be the vessel of my hydration and glass is just all too fragile a material, I turned to stainless steel, of course after doing an extended research on all their benefits. It’s no wonder the most common types of sports drink bottles Australia famous athletes use are in fact made from stainless steel. It’s the natural choice for any pro since these bottles can take a lot of abuse, I mean a lot, and still last for years to come.

The next thing I did as to ensure my hikes are going to be more pro-like was to buy myself hiking boots. These are really convenient even for someone who just likes to go on an occasional trip to the nearest hill once a month, but for devoted adventurers, these are a must. Now since the weather is nice and warm, I got myself low-cut hiking shoes. These ought to be used for short backpacking trips during daylight and with light load, so it’s just what I need.

The most important things to look for regarding these boots are: durability, breath-ability, waterproof membranes, great support and also short break-in time. For those of you that are not familiar with the term, break-in time means that you’ll have to wear these boots at least once, while running some errands on foot for instance as to let them adjust to the shape of your foot. Luckily I did my research and didn’t make the mistake to go hiking before having a nice stroll to the nearest mall, otherwise it would have been a rather uncomfortable experience.

You can probably guess that now with my new boots and two stainless steel sports drink bottles Australia top notch choice I am more than ready to conquer new heights and feel much more motivated for future hikes. If my story inspires you, why don’t you give it a try?
