Ralph Drollinger Talks Hobbies: Backpacking and Hiking Basics

From Ralph Drollinger

Ralph Drollinger is a man who encourages healthy physical activities, and his list of sports and hobbies are testament to this fact. One of his preferred outdoor activities is backpacking, an activity that combines healthy exercise and communing with nature. While it is a popular outdoor hobby and comes highly recommended for a good cardiovascular exercise with excellent fat-burning advantages, backpacking still needs adequate preparation.

Beginners should start by looking up information on backpacking through books. There are many reputable books on the subject that can properly orient a novice backpacker of things to expect for the trip. Reading up on backcountry first aid is also a requirement.

Ralph Drollinger goes on to say that in terms of references, Courses and Backcountry Organizations can provide valuable information to a novice backpacker—especially first-hand information coming from their experience in the trail. This is something that a person cannot get from the books.

Getting in shape for the trip is key. The novice might say that the point of the trip is indeed to get in shape, but there is still no excuse for exercising and preparing the body prior to the strenuous activity. Knowing the body’s physical condition will aid in deciding what kinds of preparations will be taken. Swimming, walking, and biking (human powered) will strengthen the legs and help a person develop more endurance for the trip.

Ralph Drollinger is more than just an athlete—he is also a leader of a religious movement that aims to enlighten the nation of the Word of the Lord: Capitol Ministries. Full details of his projects can be found at www.capmin.com.
