Posted on June 28, 2008 - Filed Under Travel | Leave a Comment
Backpacking can get expensive, but here are some easy ways to keep that costs down.
As pack weights get lighter and going into the wilderness gets safer, backpacking also is getting more and more expensive. How do you save money without giving up the ultralight equipment and safety gear? Let’s look at a few different ways.
Backpacking in the most remote places has become much safer now that there are personal locator beacons. One I recently saw advertised lets you call for help to 911 and family or friends at the touch of a button. It will even locate you on Google maps so others can see exactly where you are.

It nearly always pays to get cancellation cover for your holiday trip abroad. All
at the same time that you booked your holiday, which could be several
months before the actual trip. That way, cover would be provided for a
range of events, such as unexpected serious illness to the policy
holder, travelling companion and quite often, illness or worse of a
close relative which results in you having to cancel your trip. Whilst
on the subject of cancellation, do check that the same level of cover
extends to curtailing or cutting short your trip and also look out for
holiday abandonment, which is closely linked to cancellation, for when,
after a set period of delay at your departure airport or seaport , your
policy offers you the option of not continuing your trip and being
reimbursed for your costs up to a specified limit. So the best advice
is that travel insurance
should not be relegated to a ?necessary evil’ purchased just before
your travel but should be considered as a fundamental pre-requisite to
protect your holiday investment.
