Plastic soda or water bottles make great inexpensive water bottles. A 2-liter bottle fits nicely into the side pocket of most backpacks.
Cooking over a fire
If you like to cook over an open fire, there is nothing like a small rubber hose to encourage reluctant wood, or coax a small ember to life. Start with a 3" piece of 3/8" aluminum or copper tubing. Slip an 18" piece of rubber tubing over the metal and you are ready for action. No more bending over with your face next to the fire trying to blow at just the right spot. One caution! Don't breathe in through the hose.








Membership in Friend's Outdoor, Hiking, and Camping Club is a mere $15.00 per person, or $25.00 per family, per year.

Non-members are always welcome on hikes ($3.00 charge), or at the monthly meetings (free).

Monthly meetings are held to discuss past and plan future activities, as well as to offer an opportunity for prospective members to meet some of the existing club members.  
The meetings are at the Boulders On Broadway, 530 W. Broadway Rd, Tempe, (map) at 7pm, usually on the first Monday of the month. Note some holidays may effect this. Please check back here for updates, and always confirm the day of the meeting on our Newsletter. Contact us if you have questions.  Non-members are welcome!

Our current club membership is about 60, made up of people from 25 to 65, married and single, ranging from artists to engineers to trail bums!

Children are welcome on most hikes, but please bear in mind to match the hike and youngster appropriately. Leash laws apply!

Dogs: Unless prohibited by the Hike Leader, well behaved, leashed dogs are welcome on hikes suitable for them. That presumes that they are allowed per the managing agency (USFS, BLM, etc.). Dog owners are responsible for "picking up after" their pets, and must obey all leash laws. Note pigs and other farm animals are not allowed.

To join by mail: Please send your membership check to: Friend's Hiking Club c/o Kurt Sedler - 50 East Myrna - Tempe, AZ. 85284. Include your name, address, phone number, and email address. You may also join at any hike, or at any of the monthly meetings.
