Mountain climbing travel items

Essential items for mountain climbing travel

When going mountain climbing, equipment is not everything, but it can play a key role at critical times. In the preparation period before mountain climbing, I have compiled the following essential items for mountain climbing travel. You are welcome to read and refer to them.

1. Backpack:

The size depends on the distance. For a short trip, 25 liters is sufficient. For a long trip, the volume is preferably more than 55 liters. , of course, the weight-bearing capacity must be strong. When purchasing a backpack, be sure to ask the store clerk about the correct usage of the backpack, otherwise it may not be able to reduce the load and evenly distribute the load when you hit the road.

2. Shoes:

Shoes should actually be more important than a backpack, because they are most directly related to your personal safety. Non-slip shoes or hiking shoes are a must. Hiking shoes are preferably high-waisted to protect the ankle bones, which are easily injured when hiking for a long time.

3. Knee pads and ankle pads:

For any long-distance hike, you should bring a pair of knee pads and ankle pads. Knee injuries are difficult to recover from and the damage may be lifelong.

IV. Hat:

A hat can protect you from the sun and rain. If you are in a cold zone, a hat can also reduce the heat dissipation of your head. In the mountains, you can also avoid the tall grass.

5. Gloves:

They have a great protective effect when walking in tangled grass and rocks, but there is a danger that they will reduce the sensitivity of the hands.

6. Close-fitting moisture-proof bag:

Used to hold important items such as wallets, documents, mobile phones, etc., so that even if you fall into the water, you don’t have to worry about loss.

7. Knives:

A sharp multi-functional saber should be your first choice. Its saws and knives are likely to be used most frequently outdoors; and knives may sometimes be used with When used together with medicines, for example, if you are bitten by a snake, it must be sharp.

8. Compass:

It is a must for outdoor activities. Needless to say its specific function, right? But the premise is that you must know how to use it.

9. Whistle:

When traveling in a group, it is an effective tool to connect with companions. When traveling alone, it can be life-saving in emergencies. But you must know how to use it correctly and know some necessary communication methods, such as asking for help, asking about the situation, etc. For example, two long tones indicate an emergency. At least the whole team must have uniform whistle rules. Otherwise, it would be better not to blow at all than to blow randomly.

10. Medicines:

Carry appropriate amounts when traveling alone, and can be purchased openly when traveling in groups to avoid increasing the weight of the backpack. There are mainly the following standing medicines: Huoxiang Zhengqi water, Huoluo oil/safflower oil, cooling oil/fengyoujing, Yunnan Baiyao (powder, spray), aspirin, alcohol, erythromycin ointment, bandage + gauze, band-aid, Snake medicine, cold medicine.
