Bugs and Birds And Your Fancy GPS Camping Gear

10 January, 2008 (03:51) | Hiking Gear | By: Wood Chuck

I was tickled to find that my new fancy GPS unit also was able to determine altitude and barometric pressure along with all the other great things.  As I’ve previously mentioned, it’s still good to know the basics to supplement your fancy camping gear.  Did you know that birds and insects tend to fly lower than normal in heavy moisture laden air indicating that rain is likely.  Also, insect activity often increases before a storm while bee activity increases before fair weather - put that in your GPS.  It’s also good to check with the weather services before any trip to back up the bee’s and GPS.
