Hiking Sierra Nevadas
New at Camping - Help...Please!?

I'm going camping at Devil's Bathtub (Central Sierra Nevadas, Near Edison Lake) soon...I'm an inexperienced camper. I'm going with my boyfriend and a friend who are experienced. My only camping experience consists of 3-4 days trips here and there, but as car camping, or in tent cabins. I've gone tent camping a few times, but only once in a secluded area - where I hiked in (2 miles, 1500ft. elevation gain) and only for one night. This trip is 4 mile hike - 3000 ft. elevation gain, and for 3 nights only. But hiking in makes me nervious, I don't enjoy being isolated - I worry the whole time that there might be an emergency, not really injury, but sickness and what would we do? Last time our cell phone worked and that was really comforting, but I don't know how to find out if this area has cell phone range? Also I'm not in great shape, but my boyfriend really wants me to go - and says he'll hike as slow as I want. Any tips to ease my troubled mind???

Write down things that you think are essential and may be overlooked. Go over your list with your boyfriend to see if he has those items, if not, get them together yourself. Emergency items may be extra battery for your phone, first aid with Tylenol, gallon extra water, some power bars, extra batteries for the flashlight, things that you would want in your car in case of an emergency. These things you can leave in your car afterwards, and you will know you're covered there. Make sure you have things for your car in case of a flat, cables, a few tools, things like that. Don't forget hygiene items as well! Once you have seen how prepared your boyfriend is, and helped, perhaps that might alleviate some anxiety you have. Happy camping :D
