Ladies,
Please forgive me for intruding into your forum, but I need advice. My sweetie has agreed to go on her first backpacking trip and I want to make it the trip of a lifetime. She has car camped dozens of times and day hiked many miles but just never backpacked.

I have a scenic trail picked out to a spot beside a great creek. There are great spots for a tent and I'm planning to cook a nice dinner. She has a well-fitted pack and broken in hiking shoes.

What suggestions can you offer that a man will not think of?
