Hey all.
I don't usually post here and honestly have no expectations but i thought i would ask - does anyone have experience with multi-day back country hikes and camping ?
I have always loved the wilderness and camping and was diagnosed 20 months ago with T1D. Since then i have been as active as ever and have been 'car camping' a handful of times, and day hiking and bunch as well without issue. This summer i want to start to do more multi-day hikes in the back country (which means - middle of nowhere. No roads, no cars, no houses, just forest and lakes).
I have been meaning to set the days this month to get everything arranged and have started buying gear but i was curious if anyone has any tips for a T1D going out into the wild hiking for 2-4 days beyond the standard - bring enough food and insulin lol
EDIT - for those who do not know me I am located in Canada just an FYI in case it matters for some reason.
