How to Get Rid of Common Sickness in Camping and Backpacking Trips
Why should you let contaminated water spoil your camping and backpacking adventures? Be in the know and take extra steps to avoid getting sick while on travel. Remember that about 80% of travel diseases are caused by unclean drinking water according to World Health Organization. Learn to follow simple reminders and you will be safe.
The common microbes in backcountry drinking water include giardia and cryptosporidia that cause chronic diarrhea and vomiting. In the wilderness of North America, giardia has been found in 90% of these waters. The bottom line therefore is that these waters are not safe to drink. There are however available methods of treating water to avoid sickness like boiling, iodine treatment, bleaching or simply with reliable water purifier.
There are several ways to ensure that your water is safe for drinking and for food preparation. The best way available is to boil your water. This way, most microbes will surely be eliminated. But if you are an ultralight backpacker, this will be a significant consideration as you need to pack boiling equipment. For a lighter load, you can use a reliable water purifier like Katadyn Filter . Most water purifiers are designed to kill most microbes in backcountry drinking water. Other available options are the use of iodine and bleaching tablets to purify water. These methods however leave a bad taste on water.
Keep yourself fully hydrated by drinking a lot of water. It is recommended that you bring bottled mineral water. You can drink hot coffee and tea including beer and wine as these are safe. For hand washing purposes, it would be better if you carry a bottle of hand sanitizer in cases that water is not available. Treat water first before using it for taking medicines, for bathing, brushing your teeth and food preparation.
In preparing your food, make sure that you wash cooking utensils including fruits and vegetables properly. As a common hygiene practice, you should wash your hands first before touching food for cooking or before eating. It is recommended that you wash fruits and vegetables first before packing them in clean containers prior to the trip. If possible, plan meals that do not require perishable ingredients such as fresh meat and chicken. This is to avoid spoilage and possible food poisoning. Canned and dried foods are safer if you plan to camp for several days.
Aside from food and water hygiene, make sure that you also follow proper waste disposal. Improper sanitation practices can lead to stomach upsets. Do not forget to bring clean towels and bring extra if possible. Remember that safety should be on top of your priorities when camping or backpacking.

'I'm A Backpacker...Get Me In Here!' by Chantelle Keady
.
A backpack fitted with pocket(s) that are suspended on the wearer"s front side (chest) and loaded in such a way that the load in the front and the load in the back are about equal is called a bodypack. The majority of the load on a bodypack is carried by the hips.
