Experienced hikers find 500 miles of trails in Shenandoah National Park. Some are short, suitable for a day-hike. There is a 101-mile long trail running through the entire length of the park, which is a part of the well-known Appalachian Trail.
These trails are marked with blazes of paint on trees to indicate the type of trail it is. These forest traffic signs are white (Appalachian Trail), yellow (hikers and equestriennes), blue to indicate hikers only and unblazed trees mark all the nature trails for hikers.
For longer hikes, you need supplies, just in case. Consider taking a 3-day supply of water packets, food packets, matches and emergency shelter. Perhaps a flashlight, pocket stove and a rope tent should also be taken along. You can find lightweight warmth in space blankets and reusable rain ponchos. A compass is useful if the hiker knows how to use it.
You can easily fit these compact supplies into your backpack. Find these and other supplies at the outdoorsman's favorite place to shop: www.survivalistemporium.com. You will find quality merchandise at low prices. Each purchase includes another hiking and/or camping essential, the army-style can opener at no extra charge.

Wilderness Survival
Wilderness Survival
Excitement rises as you look down a new hiking trail and follow it into the deep woods. It's always a challenge not knowing what new sights and sounds you will discover. Something of the explorer inside you emerges as you start down the path. The air is crisp and spring foliage is new and fresh. This trail is unknown to you and, as yet this season, unblemished by modern man.
Before you embark on this wondrous new journey, prepare for any possible small or large emergencies. Keep safety in mind for yourself and your family. Be the primitive man who knows how to face the elements of nature, as a survivalist. Nobody ever starts out one morning, ties up the laces on his hiking boots and straps on a backpack, saying to himself "Yup, I think I'll go out hiking today and get lost."
Yet how can you think of everything you need? What might you forget? First aid, emergency food, rain gear? Take your dilemma straight to The Survivalist Emporium. You can find everything you need, small, large and in-between. The gear is compact, lightweight and good quality. Get whatever you need online at www.survivalistemporium.com. Shop fast, save valuable time and get out on the hiking trail for a day of sunshine and adventure.
Keep your kids – and yourself – safe. You need to see everything The Survivalist Emporium has to offer. Be a real outdoorsman in your children's eyes. You need to quickly locate everything necessary for the hiker and camper in one convenient online store. The Survivalist Emporium IS THAT STORE.

How To Take A Hike Safely
Families who go on a camping trip frequently enjoy hiking through the woods as part of their recreation. Trails through remote areas may be well marked. Although people enjoy being out in natural surroundings, it is wise to take along some modern safety products in case an unthinkable event happens.
Of course you don't expect to get lost on a marked trail. Just like you don't expect to drive down the wrong road, you don't expect to walk down the wrong trail. In that unpleasant and even frightening situation, you'll be glad you brought along a few extra supplies.
At The Survivalist Emporium you can find items made for your protection. You need the following:
· Esbit Pocket Stove – weight 3.25 oz.
· Fuel pellets
· Wooden Matches or Fire starter (various styles)
· Heatsheet Blanket – weight 3 oz. (fits 1 or 2 people)
· Water packs
· Food packets
These are all lightweight and designed for easy carrying. You need to take them along on a hike as a minimum precaution. Slip them into your convenient backpack along with an emergency rope tent to ensure a safe hike through the woods. Find these and other outdoor supplies at:

Experience The Joys Of Camping Out
The joys of camping are prominent on a warm sunny day. You fish at a nearby lake or stream and shade your eyes from the glint of sunshine off the water. The silvery scales flash as you reel in your first fish of the season. Head back to the campsite to clean and fry up your catch of the day.
Light the fire and get those fish ready for the lightweight stainless steel camping utensils. Find them at www.survivalistemporium.com. These are easy to pack and carry and they fry your fish to perfection. Everyone will gather around the campfire, waiting as they enjoy the aroma of fresh fish frying.
This mess kit is made of quality stainless steel with a stay cool handle. Small enough to pack for overnight hiking. The kit has five pieces with a frying pan cover that doubles as a plate, a cooking pan with a lid for your side dish and a plastic cup. You even get a military style can opener for that can of beans to put in the cooking pan. All you need is a knife, fork and spoon and you are set to enjoy your meals at your campsite or on a hike out in the wilderness. Find the set at www.survivalistemporium.com

The Axe: A Camping Necessity
Where will you camp this summer? Yellowstone, the Smoky Mountains in Tennessee or the Kettle Moraine in Northern Wisconsin? Will you take your RV or opt for the rough and tough camping experience of sleeping in a tent? No matter how or where you camp out, there are certain tools that are a necessity.
One of these is the axe, which is a multi-purpose tool. Use it to cut rope, wood branches or small trees. You can cut stakes to stabilize a tent or tarp. Then that same axe can serve as a hammer to pound those wooden stakes into the ground. You can cut three long branches to make a tripod to place over the campfire and use it to dry out clothes. The height keeps the clothing above the fire to prevent scorching them as they dry out.
An axe can also serve as a weapon for protection when you hike in a remote area. A compact size axe fits easily into your backpack. One portable, lightweight version comes in 3 pieces that extend to 13"; yet it fits into a 6" canvas belt pouch when disassembled. It's named "The 3-Piece Heavy-Duty Commando Hatchet Kit" for good reason. See for yourself how sturdy it is by visiting www.survivalistemporium.com

Patios, Basic or Fancy Pattern?
It's always good to have a choice when you spend your money on something new. Are you and your family still spending time out in your yard without any hard to surface to put a patio set or even a picnic table on? Would you like to be able to step out the door and fill your bird feeders with sinking into the muddy grass on the days after it rains? You deserve a patio this summer.
If you have a limited budget, you can start with a standard concrete in the shape of your choice and the size of your choice. A small patio can hold a table and chairs plus a barbeque grill

Stamped Concrete
It's amazing to see how concrete has evolved since ancient times. The Acropolis, crumbling, but still intact enough to exhibit the longevity of concrete. The patios of today are not simply gray or grayish white expanses on which to set your outdoor furniture and your gas grill. When you have a cookout - have it on top of a concrete patio that is reddish, blue or even green. It is not a plain expanse. It looks like brick. It looks like granite. It looks like pale beige marble. It is as beautiful as an artistic brick indoor interior floor.
As impressive as your special barbeque sauce may be, your new stamped and colored concrete patio will be even more so. I love the patterns at http://www.allterrainconstruction.com I found them on the Internet. Beautiful, complementary to the color of your siding or the bricks your home is built of. See for yourself what is available in the Milwaukee area.
