Best Outdoor Activities
Most health and fitness enthusiasts agree that living an active lifestyle is important to a healthy life. Participating in an outdoor activity not only benefits a person physically but it also has social rewards.
The outdoors as a social or physical setting provide the needs of physical health, risk-taking, self-sufficiency, the needs of achievement and building social ties. An outdoor activity is simply an activity in which people “show what they can do”.
There is a long list of outdoor activities that are divided into several categories. However, these 3 are the best outdoor activities you should try
Backpacking
For people who love to explore the wilderness and is an avid nature lover, then backpacking is a great outdoor activity to try. Not to be confused with backpacking for traveling purpose, overnight backpacking is carrying gear (cooking kit, stove, clothing, shelter, bedding, water, and food) in one’s back while you hike for more than a day and involves camping.
Trips for backpacking often consist of one night that can last for weeks and even months, sometimes aided with planned resupply drops or points. Aside from its health benefits, backpacking also allows you to venture to remote places that are typically not accessible by any other means.
Saltwater Fishing
For those who love fishing and want to take it to the next level, then they can try saltwater fishing. Saltwater fishing is a general term that is used to describe fishing methods in the ocean. This outdoor activity can be done on a pier, on a boat or on shore (surf fishing. Anglers use artificial or live bait according on the type of fish they want to catch. Some of the best fighting fish for saltwater fishing that would satisfy any anglers are marlin or tuna. The big drawback of saltwater fishing, however, is that it is only available in countries or states that border the ocean and you have your own special fishing gear that can handle large catches.
Kayaking
For people who just love exploring either calm, kayaking is the outdoor activity they will surely love! Kayaking is the use of a kayak (a narrow and small watercraft which is propelled with the use of a double-bladed paddle) to move across the water. You can enjoy calm water and beautiful scenes or you can try to challenge a friend and do a kayak racing with them. Boatcrunch have a boat-load of kayaking resources and boating guides, they're my faviroute boating blog.
