What do you need to prepare for hiking?

If you want to continue to participate in outdoor activities and love this sport very much, it is very important to choose equipment. A suitable set of equipment can really guarantee our outdoor activities, and make us closer to nature and feel it. I think there are some principles to follow when choosing equipment: 1. We choose the equipment that suits our environment, so our first concern is the applicability of the equipment, not the price. Although it is good to do great things with less money, it is usually unrealistic. The cheapest and most expensive is sometimes not the most suitable. Also, don't expect to arm your equipment to your teeth at once. Eat rice bite by bite. 2. Choosing equipment is a very rational thing, but the road ahead is always tortuous. It is inevitable to be emotional during the purchase process (such as choosing a color or style that you like very much, regardless of practicality). Even if you lose money, don't worry too much. After all, we all need to experience setbacks on the road to growth. The purchase of new donkey equipment is mostly about the details of equipment, but often these details will give the new donkey a mistake. The discussion of real details is more suitable for the more professional old donkey, as long as the new donkey has the right attitude in equipment selection. The following is a list of the simplest equipment needed for a new donkey, arranged in order of importance of the equipment. Of course, it's just a family statement. Welcome to correct me. 1. Shoes and socks-I don't need to say more about shoes. There has been too much discussion about the shoes in the jar recently. I don't think we can exaggerate the role of shoes. A pair of shoes that can protect our feet and wear comfortably can make us go further and better. There are no taxis outside. If there are, they are your shoes. So it is worthwhile to spend more money on it. Of course, we prefer cheap things; The choice of socks now seems very simple, that is, composite functional socks containing COOLMAX material, which can not only keep warm, but also be functional products, so they are more durable and strong, and can better protect your feet. A. You can choose high-grade hiking shoes if you have money. Shoes above 1K basically contain high-tech materials and technologies such as GORE-TEX and VIBRAM. European brands have always been good at making shoes. Try to choose European brands. Is it the place of origin? Of course, imported products are better, and I really want to recommend domestic brands, but with so many lessons, I really can't find a brand to recommend. For new donkeys, there are not many requirements for choosing equipment, as long as the product quality is guaranteed, they look like it and can afford it. Many new donkeys usually make the mistake of being greedy for perfection and don't want to buy beautiful, practical, cheap and classic ones. Remember! Remember! Another thing to note is, try not to buy shoes of domestic brands, especially those with more than 300 pieces. There are too many lessons on the jar. It is very reluctant to say this, I hope my compatriots will forgive me! ! B. If you don't have much money, it doesn't matter if you often go to outdoor stores or some sporting goods stores to find goods. It won't be difficult to choose a pair of strong and cheap shoes. As for the waterproof function, you don't have to consider so much. Just pay attention to yourself when hiking, and don't go to those harsh environments. In fact, the new donkey should not try to take part in some dangerous and long-distance trips. You will know what kind of shoes you should wear after walking too much, whether it is hiking shoes or hiking shoes or military glue. La sportiva montrail asolo garmont ... everything is fine. 2. mountaineering bag-it is unimaginable to travel without a good bag. Everything we need depends on him. There are many articles about choosing a mountaineering bag on the Internet. I won't introduce the specific details of the bag here. I just want to remind you how to choose a suitable bag. What is the purpose of this bag? In fact, many people don't know what the mountaineering bag is for. For real hiking or mountaineering, the choice of mountaineering bags needs to follow certain principles, and not all bags can be used. If it's just an ordinary tour, what kind of bag to choose is not a problem at all, and a travel bag may be more suitable. Once I tried to find the peace and freedom of nature from the equipment of strangers passing by, but I found that when I tried to find it, those familiar and friendly equipment made me feel unprecedented strangeness and fear. A: The size of the bag has always been a controversial issue in the jar. In fact, a 55L bag may be enough for hiking. It seems that bags that are too big are not for outdoor use, but more for cosmetics or so-called corrupt substances or unnecessary things. It's not that our bags are too big, but that we have too many desires, and no matter how big the bags are, they can't hold our desires. I will explain why a 55L bag will be enough in the future. B. the style of the bag is also a very hot issue. In fact, the difference is really not big, just like myself. If there are too many fasteners on the bag, it is not good. Slim and simple design is the best. C. bag color: the selection principle is to use bright colors for snow-capped mountains and less bright colors for other places, such as gray and green. Now some friends' clothes and equipment are too exaggerated, which is out of harmony with the surrounding environment, and there are many cool elements. I hope the new donkey won't make the same problem. 3. Treadmill-this is what I have repeatedly emphasized. Its function will be infinitely magnified when necessary, which means that the more difficult and dangerous the environment is, the more obvious its function will be. The trekking pole can help you save energy, keep balance and prevent sprains. It has too many uses. I remember when I climbed the highest mountain near Sailimu Lake, without her, I could never walk down the steep mountain. My other two legs are him. Many hikers don't pay much attention to trekking poles, but they don't. You make her your leg with your heart, practice slowly, and eventually she will become a part of your body. At that time, once you left her, you knew how much you missed her. When I went down the mountain with four legs, the Kazakh guy on horseback looked at me sideways. Because of the high speed, all four legs ran like flying, like walking on the ground. That feeling is so cool. Furthermore, it is best to use two trekking poles, one at first. You must believe in science. Master LEKI, the black diamond is very good! ! ! Be careful not to use unreliable brands for trekking poles. I'm not alarmist. If something goes wrong with your trekking stick in a difficult place, just like your own leg, the consequences will be fatal. Therefore, it is best for the new donkey to choose only the sticks of the above three brands. Remember! Remember! ! 4. Tents and sleeping bags-if you spend the night in the wild, you'd better not lose them. Their function is to provide us with a comfortable rest environment, so that we can get a full rest, but also shelter us from the wind and rain. Prepare for tomorrow's trip. The principle of choosing these two equipments is that the tent should be able to prevent heavy rain, so the technical index of PU coating should be above 1500MM. Be very careful in the choice of tents, because tents are not as big as other equipment, and there is little room for choice, especially tents of state-owned brands. Some leisure-grade sightseeing tents are out of our consideration. In order not to let the new donkey take a detour, here are some tents that you can choose, and some tent brands that are not listed are not recommended to be considered. EUROHIKE series (EUROHIKE225 is its classic tent, which has a good reputation among travelers. Many people have this tent, but the weight is the same as his reputation: Shen LUXE series (new brand, guaranteed quality, new style, light weight, suitable for hiking) ACME series (new brand, good quality, good follow-up research and development, I believe it will be a very good choice in the future. Pure Land series (also a classic tent with good quality and moderate weight, which used to be an old donkey and can stand the test) (also a state-owned brand, but it is well done and supports domestic products) are all tents suitable for new donkeys. There are many choices for high-end tents, but it is very expensive to buy new donkeys at one time. Mountain Hardwear faces the Marmot Pro-Gain in Ferino to the north ... These high-end tents are suitable for very wealthy travelers. When buying, you should also pay attention to buying in regular stores. After-sales service is very important. The choice of sleeping bag is relatively easy: for the new donkey, you can buy a sleeping bag of DuPont cotton at first, and the temperature scale of the sleeping bag is above five degrees. This sleeping bag is the right size and weight. Don't buy a two-kilogram cotton sleeping bag from the beginning, it will waste your money and harden your back. When you need a standard sleeping bag with low temperature, buy a better down sleeping bag. These are the lessons of "blood", remember to remember. Domestic down sleeping bags I believe there are only camping sleeping bags. There can be no mistake in choosing him. Especially for new donkeys. 5. Functional clothing-If you want to move freely in bad weather or be forced to move forward in a difficult environment, you need several sets of functional clothing, which is what we usually call jackets, Chinese underwear and so on. Functional clothes are used in certain environments, such as rain and strong wind, so if you don't plan to go to these places often, you don't necessarily need these equipment. A raincoat and an ordinary windbreaker are enough. It is also a good choice for travelers with less money. If you want to experience the feeling of marching in the rain, then functional clothes are worth considering. For the new donkey, don't care too much about the technology and details. What we need to know is: a. coat: rain-proof, wind-proof, breathable, reasonable pocket design, easy to take (GORE-TEX, WINDSTOPER, OMNI-TEC and other materials) B. thermal layer: warm, light and easy to carry (generally down or fleece, such as POLARTEC material) C. underwear: non-exclusive. Just choose one for yourself. 6. Drugs and tools-listing drugs and tools at the end does not mean that they are not important enough, but because they are very special equipment, usually inconspicuous, but they are all necessary, that is, whether you are doing long-distance or short-distance outdoor sports for one day or more, drugs and tools must accompany you. Drugs should be carried according to their own system, but some commonly used drugs should be brought. Such as diarrhea medicine, cold medicine, anti-inflammatory medicine, band-aid, gauze, blade and so on. Other drugs need to consult a doctor according to the environment you are going to and your own situation. Tools include many gadgets: sunglasses: filtering ultraviolet rays, you must bring a multifunctional knife on the plateau: just bring a Swiss army knife, headlights and batteries: compass for lighting: just in case, sewing box: mending clothes and bags, etc.
