Hiking and camping are ideal summer sports, but for the adventurous type they are also fun in the winter. There are basically two types of camping, one is the no frills method where all you take is a tent and sleeping bag, if even that, and a few other necessities. The other type is luxury camping where you have all of the bells and whistles such as trailers, electricity, running water and washrooms. Some items such as first aid kits and backpacks are useful in both types of camping. Hiking also comes in two styles with short afternoon trips or overnight hikes, but with hiking you need to take along the same gear, no matter how long your adventure is going to be.
