What do I need for outdoor hiking?

 Everyone hiking must be well prepared with things so that you do not have to worry about danger when hiking, but it is important to note that not all hiking equipment should be carried in any one hike, you can selectively carry it, you can choose according to the hiking location, the list, there are some belong to the camp comfort supplies, is something you may want to bring. As a rule of thumb, start out with a pack that weighs 20% of your body weight and gradually increase it to 30% or however much you feel comfortable with.

However, the park-type attractions mountain; Oh, wave shoes and sneakers should be enough.

Hat, gloves

The role of the hat in addition to shade, but also to reduce the heat of your head; the body's heat seems to have a large proportion of the head from the emitted, especially when the temperature is low. The role of gloves in the subtropical mountains does not seem to play too big a role; however, when hiking in the mountains without it, I believe there will be a chance that you will more or less miss it.

Sunglasses

In the outdoor hiking, sunglasses are also essential. Can block all the eyes uncomfortable UV rays and other glare, the role of sunglasses not only shade, but also to protect our eyes from the wind, so choose a comfortable sports glasses is very necessary. For example, the international brand OAKLEY OAKLEY, rudy Ludi, domestic brand OUTDO Gaote and other sports glasses are a good choice.

Soprano whistle

The Dragon Boat Festival has arrived, may your life dumplings have happiness and sweetness, dumplings have love and smooth.

knives, fire, headlamp (flashlight)\ hiking stick

Knives: sharp multifunctional military knife should be your first choice, its saw and knife is likely to be your highest frequency of use in the outdoors; and the knife may sometimes be used with drugs, such as encountered snake bites, so it must be sharp.

Fire: Be sure to pay attention to waterproof, you may really need it to save your life in critical moments.

Headlamp (flashlight): It is always redundant when not in use, but my habit will always bring it; and will bring spare batteries and bulbs. Long-distance communication at night it will also play the role of a whistle (you can use a lens to do this work during the day); learn the Moore code will help you communicate with your companions more.

Medicine

Huo Xiang Zheng Qi capsule, cold medicine, erythromycin ointment, white medicine powder, white medicine spray (live oil), bandages, tourniquet, snake medicine, alcohol, cool oil (wind oil), personal special drugs and so on and so on.

Food

According to the principle of small size, light weight, high nutrition and easy to eat, prepare according to your own itinerary; the general custom is to do 1.5 times the redundancy for short trips of less than 2 days. For long trips, make a 130% redundancy for 3 days (because you can usually get a refill within 3 days).

Also, get into the habit of keeping some compressed cookies at the bottom of your backpack all the time.

Water

Usually 1.5L per day is enough, but long-distance trips, especially in hot weather, may require 3-6 liters or more; it also depends on whether there is water available along the way. Sports drinks (grape suit, etc.) are usually available during the hike, but you can of course use glucose and other ingredients to prepare your own sports drinks. For general tourist hikes, don't, they can be sold everywhere.

cooking utensils

Stoves, gas cans, stoves, etc. . 1 day short line (optional) can let you have a mouth hot, FB line will be more interesting; but more than 2 days long line, should be necessary, especially in the cold weather environment is more so.

clothing

Clothing, etc. . Fit can be, if you just walk around casually; it seems that the requirements are not very high on the line, recommended to buy quick-drying clothes, pants. "Gautaix" such as rushing clothes, pants; and fleece jacket, pants and other things are good (of course, the price and quality are good). Raincoat, backpack cover, waterproof bags and other rain gear is also a good thing to have. Activities are also divided into several, the equipment requirements are also different; so not all of the above equipment you need.

Things to note

 companionship

It is best to travel in a group, at least 3 people or more, to help each other on the way, take care of each other. But it is best not to have too many people, otherwise they will interfere with each other and act inconveniently. Luggage with less and light, but be sure to bring some common medicine.

Pre-trip understanding

Before you go, you should know the conditions of the area you are going to pass through, your physical condition (for example, people with lower limb vascular disease, skin ulcers and flat feet are not suitable for hiking) and the climatic conditions at the time.

 Master the rhythm

To master the walking speed, start walking slowly and then speed up after a few days. Rest once a day (for a longer period of time), usually at noon. Resting place should avoid the direct sun and low-lying, wet places.

 Physical fitness maintenance

It is important to ensure enough sleep time and nutritional supplements, do not consume only dry food for a long time, and try to eat more fresh fruits and vegetables.

Hiking shoes selection

It is more ideal to wear tourist shoes or special hiking shoes when hiking, because such shoes not only have a certain elasticity, which can play a moderate cushioning effect on the brain, but also can reduce the foot swelling caused by long distance walking.

Adaptation training

If you are going on a long-distance hike, it is best to do a few adaptations before you leave and gradually increase the amount of exercise to enhance endurance. When walking, land on the ground with the foot plate, with moderate force, to maintain body balance.

Foot care

Wash your feet with warm water at the end of your daily hike to relieve fatigue. When there is a blister on the palm of the foot, use a needle (first rub it with an alcohol cotton ball or burn it on the fire) to pierce the hole to draw out the water, and then apply red salve to prevent infection. Remember not to tear off the skin, which is prone to infection more will aggravate the pain of the foot.

climbing skills

When hiking up the mountain, the body should lean slightly forward, climbing steep slopes should take the zigzag route; down the mountain, the body should lean back slightly, relax the lower limb muscles to avoid back and leg pain.

Combine work and rest

Hiking should be based on their own physical conditions to determine the daily itinerary, generally 4 ~ 5 km per hour walk. Every time you walk, you can choose to rest for 15 minutes in the shade, gazebo and other places to recover your strength.
