Those who are already outdoor enthusiasts will know however, that to keep the countryside and all natural surroundings as beautiful and charming as they have been for decades. This section is an Eco-Friendly Hiking Guide while you are on your Swiss Alps adventure.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Tips for Eco Friendly Hiking<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>When you hike or camp, always leave the area at least as good as or better than you found it. Though you might want to take home a flower, rock, or arrowhead as a reminder of your trip, think about the results if everyone followed that impulse.<\/p>\n<h3>\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <strong>Stick to the Path<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1123377 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/tripatlas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Stick-to-the-Path.jpg\" alt=\"Stick to the Path\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" \/>This might seem like common sense, but often people go hiking or walking to socialize and so may end up walking two or three abreast in order to hear each other talking. The problem with this is that many paths and trails are only designed for one or two people to walk along.<\/p>\n<p>By deviating from the path, your feet will cause erosion to the ground that is not used to being walked upon which will damage the environment. Try and stay in single file and if you see other footprints from someone who has recently strayed from the path, then be sure to avoid that area to give it a chance to grow back.<\/p>\n<h3>\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <strong>Small Is Better<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Keep group sizes small, ideally six people or less. This will minimize the impact on the area and also help keep noise levels low so that you don\u2019t disturb others seeking the solace of the\u00a0wilderness.<\/p>\n<h3>\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <strong>Creating Campfires<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1123376\" src=\"https:\/\/drprem.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2018\/12\/Creating-Campfires.jpg\" alt=\"Creating Campfires\" width=\"800\" height=\"1199\" \/>Most public campsites already have campfire regulations in place, so make sure to read these before you start building a fire. If there is not already a stone ring, then create one for yourself with a few stones, this will prevent the fire from spreading. When you collect wood to use in your fire it is important to stick to the 3 Ds rule, only collect sticks that are: Dead, Detached and Downed<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How to Take Your Hike High-Tech<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Taking a hike is a great way of taking a break from your hectic life and enjoying the serenity of nature. Going off the grid for the day doesn\u2019t mean you have to completely abandon all of your helpful tech. There are many tools you can use to make your hike easier and more enjoyable. Utilize these devices to improve your time on or off the trail.<\/p><div class=\"3a64bb57635b757d04b12bcf0c14b9a3\" data-index=\"2\" style=\"float: none; margin:10px 0 10px 0; text-align:center;\">\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\"\r\n     data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-9477973674766713\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"8885944693\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n<h2><strong>1. Take Pictures with a Digital Camera<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-42796 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/ecofriend.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Armed-with-your-camera-800x581.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"581\" \/>You&#8217;ve been climbing for hours through overgrown brush and tall trees. Finally, you break through the muck and find yourself at the top of an expansive vista. The ground drops below you to reveal the most beautiful scene you ever could have imagined. While your brain is great at preserving images, a digital camera is even better. Capturing the imagery of your hike will let you reflect on these tranquil times when you&#8217;re feeling stressed.<\/p>\n<p>To take things one step further, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.backpacker.com\/gear\/8-gadgets-and-apps-for-thru-hikers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">invest in an action sports camera<\/a> to record your entire trek. These cameras are impervious to water and dirt, meaning you can take them with you anywhere to capture both photo and video.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>2. Navigate with GPS Systems<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Sticking to the trail is one way to play it safe. But if you&#8217;re feeling adventurous, you might want to stray away from society and into the wilderness. Doing so can be dangerous, as it increases your chances of getting lost. That&#8217;s where a <a href=\"https:\/\/coolhikinggear.com\/10-cool-hiking-gadgets\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">handheld GPS system<\/a> comes in. Similar to those clunky devices you used to have in your car, a handheld GPS relies on satellite technology rather than 4G or Wi-Fi. It will work to guide you home even when your phone loses its signal.<\/p>\n<p>Another benefit of having GPS is that you can try your hand at geocaching. Geocaching is a fun game where you use coordinates to guide you to hidden locations in the woods. Inside, you&#8217;ll find a logbook as well as mini &#8220;treasures&#8221; left by fellow seekers.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>3. Stay Charged with Solar Power<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-42798\" src=\"https:\/\/ecofriend.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Solar-powered-charger-800x579.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"579\" \/>Without an outlet to plug into, chances are your phone, camera, and GPS are going to die in just a few hours. This is fine if you&#8217;re going for a short stroll, but if you were planning on taking a full-day trek or camping overnight, you&#8217;ll need a way to top off your devices.<\/p>\n<p>Luckily, the bounties of nature can provide if you invest in a solar power charger. This device absorbs the sun&#8217;s free energy and stores it in battery cells. After a few hours of sunbathing, it will be ready to give your coveted devices the juice they need. Not only is this a green method of harvesting energy, but it&#8217;s also a lifesaver if you get stranded somewhere and need to call for help.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>4. Keep Your Hands Free with a Smartwatch<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>When you&#8217;re hiking around on a treacherous or slippery trail, you really need both hands-free in case you slip or fall. However, if you&#8217;re trying to navigate or check your messages, pulling your phone out of your pocket every five minutes is extremely cumbersome. The solution to this is to invest in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.t-mobile.com\/offer\/smartwatch-wearable-technology.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Samsung watch<\/a> from a carrier like T-Mobile. This type of device makes your hikes much more convenient, as you&#8217;ll have instant access to all of your notifications just by glancing down at your wrist.<\/p>\n<p>Best of all, T-Mobile offers the DIGITS program, which allows both your smartwatch and your cell phone to share the same phone number. This means you can use your smartwatch to make calls and send data even if you don&#8217;t have your phone with you.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>5. Groove with a Portable Speaker<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-42797\" src=\"https:\/\/ecofriend.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Portable-Solar-Powered-Speaker-800x541.jpg\" alt=\" Portable-Solar-Powered-Speaker\" width=\"800\" height=\"541\" \/>While the humming sounds of nature are a pleasant change from the honking horns and boisterous voices of the city, sometimes they can start to sound a little overwhelming in their emptiness. To fill the void in your ears, turn on your favorite song with a portable speaker.<\/p>\n<p>Portable speakers are also a great way to listen to e-books as you walk. This allows you to engage both your body and mind.<\/p>\n<p>Traditionalists might frown upon some of these high-tech gadgets for hiking. However, once you give them a try, you&#8217;ll realize what you&#8217;ve been missing out on during your adventures.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Some other Gadgets that make your camping trip blissfully green<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>People with penchant for traveling, trekking, and camping keep taking camping trips every now and then.
