Backpackers travel insurance is essential to have if you are planning on taking a trip away for any amount of time. There are constantly stories of how students taking a gap year go travelling, stay in hostels and things go missing out of their backpacks. Those who have insurance will be covered for their belongings, including their money and passport, but those who don’t, have a major problem on their hands.

Backpacking and Gap Years for many people, especially students, is the only way to travel as it is the most affordable way to travel the world. It is appealing to many as it gives you the experience of culture in the countries you visit, wherever that may be, but unfortunately you have to be prepared for the worst, just in case.

When planning a long term adventure holiday or gap year travel insurance, most travellers think first about where they want to travel to. But arranging decent backpackers insurance cover is also essential. If you have the right backpackers insurance policy or gap year insurance cover, you won’t just be covered for your losses, but also if you hurt or injure yourself, you will have peace of mind in knowing you can get the medical treatment you need.

If you are the ‘outdoorsy’ type who likes mountain climbing and other adventurous activities, then having the right insurance really is the most important thing about your entire trip. Not every country has a free health service like the NHS, so without insurance, you could find yourself facing expensive medical bills, when you probably can’t afford it.

We here at ‘Backpacking with Brian’ (by Bryn Parry, available at www.authorhouse.co.uk for £8.30) are conducting a survey into the, little discussed, phenomena of ‘Scary Doll Face’. Any data you could supply will be much appreciated, just choose the appropriate response- Is your ‘Dollyphobia’ a result of- a) a past experience of the bad kind with one of these small plastic people (eg rejecting you for no apparent reason)? b) Have you been conditioned to ‘link’ these pre-pubescent polythene creations with the aroma of a ‘ripe nappiefull’ from the ‘real thing’? c) Does the piercing stare of their synthetic, loathing-filled, eyes burn deep into your frontal lobes? or d) Do you have an explanation of your own? oh yes..and e) Have you read ‘Backpacking with Brian’ yet… and if not… why not?

This is an amazingly roomy tent. It provides an 48 sq feet of living area within a very portable 7 lbs 7 oz carry weight (and that’s my upgraded carry to include tarp footprint and 10 MSR “Groundhog” tent stakes too; factory weight is listed at 6 lbs 6 oz). Add even more space for the two large vestibules that are provided by the tent fly. This roominess provided outstanding livability to us three backpackers on a wilderness adventure to high altitudes (me, son, dog). Three people could fit in a more cozy manner. Mesh integration is excellent. Pole attachment is via both clip and uncoated sleeve system. Several nights spent in the tent seem to indicate a dry, well-ventilated interior. Hard core snow and rain resistence was not tested on this trip but stake out provisions are provided for better tent strength. A very useful mesh gear loft is included along with four interior pockets (albeit they are not tightly sewn. Many parts of the Recluse are seam sealed but the bottom tent seam (catendary sewn) should be sealed by the user. The vestibules are well-executed and provide an incredible amount of dry gear storage area. The chosen light Mossy Green and light grey colors are excellent are provide more subdued camping and excellent, bright light filtration inside. But remember this is a sub-$100 tent so you will give up a few things in that choice. Close inspection of the “Recluse” tent model will reveal it to be a medium quality tent with compromises made to achieve that …
