Trying to get my girl into backpacking, any tips?

She will NOT poop in the woods. I will guarantee that. I think I might put some ExLax in her coffee just to see what she does, my guess is she would hike back to the car and poop inside it instead.

lol!!

if she doesn't hike much, get some moleskin for blisters, and make sure you plan good meals. I found in years of backpacking that as long as I got a good night sleep (good tent, good sleeping pad and good bag) and ate well, the rest of the trip really didn't matter. last time I took my wife camping it got down to about 25 degrees, but she didn't care, she was in my 0 degree bag on a thermarest, and we had fettucini Alfredo with cajun shrimp (not out of a bag).

Thats good advice, thanks man ^ Weather is calling for mid 80's H and mid 60's L which will be mighty fine compared to the heat down here.

I would judge it on her background...One girl before always said she wanted to go camping/hiking with me....Her idea of hiking is like 1/2 mile, cut trail in a park...My Idea of hiking is 10-15+miles...Girl I'm talking to a lot now, not dating yet, heck she might could out hike me! I think its sexy when I see her in her shorts tanktop and hiking boots...lol

No pooping in the woods? Really? She seems like the kind of girl, where if she HAD to go, she would.

Light pack ,snacks ,extra socks ,good broken in boots ,mole-skins are a must ,walking stick? ,Ipod? ,
something like " VitalLyte : to replace electrolytes

Well unless she can contort her body or you got a REALLY big backpack i dont think you'll be getting her into it....

Hopefully she will learn that less is more when it comes to backpacking.......alcohol is definitely a must. Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!
