ice spikes for shoesNow that it is getting close to the end of the summer, I have started to spare a lot more thought for all of the different things that I am going to need when I am running around during the winter time. I have to make sure that I will be able to keep myself safe when the weather gets icy and the areas around my home start to be covered in a lot more ice and snow on the whole.

I have been able to buy a lot of different pieces of equipment that I will be able to use when I am out in the snow during this winter. I have become especially concerned with finding some different types of products that I can use for my own safety. I think that certain tools such as ice spikes for shoes would definitely be helpful when I was getting around in the winter.

Where I live, the winters are often pretty bad, so I just makes good sense to prepare myself and to make sure that I have all of the different pieces of gear that I might need to make sure that I am able to do what I can to keep myself safe. This winter will be nice with the right supplies.

waist pouch bagWhen I go out hiking in the woods, I generally will carry the vast majority of my gear on my back in a backpack because I am able to carry a lot of gear including emergency supplies with me this way. However, this is not at all the most convenient way for me to carry item that I would like to be taking out and putting away often such as my camera. For this, I make sure to have another bag.

To make different items extremely accessible, I try to make sure that I am able to easily carry all of the different products that I need handy in a waist pouch bag instead. This pouch puts the most important items right within my reach so that I have them when I need them. This is where I keep my bear spray and my camera since these items are ones I would need to take out quickly.

It is great being able to have a bag like this that will make it significantly easier for me to get to the items I need quickly. Everything else can easily be placed into my backpack where it takes me a while to get to it. Items that I don’t have to have right away and may never use belong in the backpack for sure.

I found many great backpacks that would definitely be good to go hiking with, but I wasn’t quite sold on any of these backpacks specifically.
