FollowI love outdoor recreational activities. One of my favourite outdoor activities is hiking. There’s always something to look forward to whenever you hike – whether it’s a waterfall at the end of the jungle trail or to the peak where you’ll be treated to some of the most spectacular sceneries. The sounds of the waterfall or waves beating the rocks when you’re almost reaching the destination motivates you to push yourself harder to move on when you’re physically and mentally exhausted. Standing atop a hill and admiring the awesome view after a long and grueling hike makes you feel invincible and surreal.
One of the longest hikes that we did was at the Rangitōtō Summit Track in Auckland, New Zealand 7 years ago. The hike involved walking on black rock created by lava flows on a volcanic island with panoramic views over the gulf. There were steep ascents (which were the toughest part of the hike), technical scrambles and bumpy terrain; all of which made us feel out of breath.
Cass was only 6 years old at that time and it was quite tough to hike with her. I had to carry a big backpack with all her paraphernalia and that was extra weight to carry on my achy shoulders during the hike that lasted several hours. Hubs even had to give Cass piggyback rides several times throughout the hike. Whenever he carried Cass on his back, he moved his heavy backpack to his front. That was a tough hike for the both of us. Six other people who were hiking with us, including our two older girls, were always in front and waiting for us. That hike was not in our original itinerary and we were not well prepared for it. Hubs should have worn tactical clothing and I should have worn a pair of tactical pants so that I could distribute the weight of my backpack contents to the pants.
Tactical clothing is built to withstand the elements, and the abuse of wear and tear. These specially tailored clothing are a solid choice for the adrenaline junkies and adventurous travelers. If you’re into mountain climbing, rock climbing, jungle trekking or hiking, it would be a smart choice to get some tactical clothing to protect your body from scratches and the elements.
