The word "donkey friend" comes from the internet, and "donkey friend" comes from Sina. Com, and "donkey friend" was originally spread by Sina Tourism Forum, which is a homophonic word for tourism, generally referring to friends who participate in tourism and self-help tours. Such friends call each other donkey friends. But now it refers more to backpackers, that is, outdoor enthusiasts who carry backpacks and take tents and sleeping bags through camping. Simply put, "donkey friends" are outdoor sports lovers.

At present, the main outdoor sports in China are hiking, crossing, mountaineering, rock climbing, rafting and cross-country mountain cycling. This kind of sports that belong to donkey friends are mostly exploratory, extreme and sub-extreme sports, which are very challenging and exciting. Because they can embrace nature, challenge themselves, exercise their will and teamwork spirit, and improve their ability to survive in the wild, they are deeply loved by young people. With the improvement of people's living standards, outdoor sports and donkey friends are becoming more and more popular and become the focus of attention.

However, people who are equipped with clothes, fleece coats, headlights, GPS, brand-name backpacks and camping supplies are not necessarily "donkey friends", and "donkey friends" are not necessarily equipped with such equipment.

The difference between general tourism and outdoor sports of donkey friends is that general tourism is an activity that points out that people have fun through tourism. If you pay, others can arrange everything for you, so you don't have to worry about eating, drinking and sleeping, and enjoy the fun of traveling. Travelers usually plan their own food, clothing, housing and transportation, bring all kinds of necessary travel supplies, with the aim of experiencing nature, which is a more free and independent way of travel.

In addition, the difference between general tourism and outdoor sports of donkey friends can be said to be a spiritual difference, as a netizen mentioned:

During the trip, you will see them wearing simple clothes, carrying big backpacks and camera bags, doing as the Romans do, and dealing with local people in a low-key way, which can gain more feelings. After the trip, they will show what they saw and heard along the way to everyone with a unique perspective, with lenses and words. Through these carriers, you can feel her/his different feelings about the soul and life. Therefore, "donkey friend" is a lifestyle that needs spiritual support. It doesn't matter whether you are a donkey friend or not. There is nothing special about being a donkey friend. Don't regard "donkey friend" as a fashionable concept and associate it with things that have no essential connection, which will only become a laughing stock like "the emperor's new clothes".

So what equipment do you need as a donkey friend?

Generally speaking, the equipment needed by a donkey friend can be divided into two aspects. One is basic equipment, such as clothes, backpacks, cushions, sleeping bags, shoes, tents, water equipment, maps, compasses, lighting, sunglasses, knives, protection/medicines, etc. Secondly, different sports need highly specialized equipment, such as the expedition's satellite locator GPS, bicycle shoes and clothing, ice pick/cone for iceberg climbing, diving equipment for diving, etc. Individuals can choose their own personal equipment according to their own economic situation.

There are many fake donkey friends now. Also known as a half-hearted donkey friend. It means that going back and forth depends entirely on transportation. Just walk around the destination with your feet.

That's true. However, I think: as long as you embrace nature, broaden your horizons and relax, if you are a truly standardized donkey friend, there is nothing to pursue.

You don't have to walk, do you? It is a trip, a wandering trip, as long as you are happy. Everyone has different ideas. If we must regulate them, it will make people feel fake.

Just be happy. What does it matter if you are a real donkey friend? !

I thought it was a friend who ate donkey meat!

Haha ~ ~ ~' travel' donkey friend ~ ~

It is not safe to travel with donkey friends.

After so many years of loneliness, I want to go to Shangqiu by bike.

It is my wish to travel by bike. More people will be better, but it is difficult to find a companion.

I also want to try to survive in the wild, .................... is exciting! Fun! Just relax。

But you have to have time. Everyone is busy now. ...

I really want to be a donkey friend, but I'm afraid I don't have the courage to go out of this step. Somebody give me a hand!
