Must bring items for mountain climbing and camping

. Backpack: Recommended

The first equipment for backpackers, otherwise there would be no reason to call it a backpacker (hiker). The size of the backpack depends on the distance of the journey, usually around 25 liters around Shenzhen. For long-term travel, MM needs 45-55 liters, GG needs more than 55 liters, and the load-bearing capacity must be strong;

2. Shoes: Recommended

Shoes should actually be more important than backpacks , because it is most directly related to your personal safety. They must be non-slip shoes or hiking shoes, ordinary sports shoes are not considered. It is best to wear hiking shoes that are high-waisted to protect the ankle bones, which are easily injured when hiking for a long time.

3. Outerwear and underwear: Must wear long clothes and long trousers, no matter the season. It will protect your body well when walking in the grass on the mountain, and it is best to be waterproof. It is recommended to wear jackets or quick-drying pants if possible. Never wear jeans during long-distance hiking and mountaineering. It is recommended not to wear cotton underwear for underwear. In the foreign mountaineering community, cotton underwear is called "the clothes worn by dead people". The reason is that after exercising in the alpine zone, the sweat-absorbent properties of cotton underwear It will freeze you to death, but of course it’s not that scary if we don’t go to alpine areas; outerwear and pants

5. Knee pads and ankle pads: You should bring a pair of knee pads and ankle pads for any long-distance hiking . Knee injuries are difficult to recover from, and the damage may be lifelong; underwear, knee pads and ankle pads

6. Hats, gloves, and sunglasses: wide-brimmed hats are better, not just for sun protection, sometimes in the mountains When walking, it is also used to block tall grass at human height, and it is also very useful when it rains; in alpine areas, hats can also reduce the heat dissipation of your head; a considerable proportion of the body's heat is dissipated from the head , especially when the temperature is low. Gloves have a great protective effect when walking in tangled grass and rocks, but one thing to note is that one danger that gloves bring is that they will reduce the sensitivity of the hands; Sunglasses: required for sun protection. But it will definitely cause visual errors, so use it with caution on dangerous road sections;

9. Close-fitting moisture-proof bag: I don’t seem to see this mentioned in any strategy, but I personally think it is a necessity. You can choose to put wallets, documents, mobile phones and other important items in it. In this way, even if you fall into the water while tracing the stream, you don't have to worry about any losses.

10. Towels and toiletries: for wiping sweat. You will find it very convenient. You can wet it and cover your mouth and nose in dusty places to resist dust.

12. Slippers or sandals:

If the equipment is not particularly large and heavy, you can bring it with you and use it during rest. When the day is over, it’s a FB thing to put on slippers;

13. Sunscreen and lip balm: When the sun is strong and the wind is strong outdoors, you can carry a small amount to prevent the scorching sun and dry lips. ;;

14. Tent:

The waterproof index should be good, it is recommended to be around 1500 or above. If you are not climbing mountains, from a practical point of view, windproof performance may not be a major consideration. In fact, according to my experience, campsites are generally chosen to be in places sheltered from the wind, so the performance described in many guides may not be used.

Pay attention to the weight. Items above 3kg will not be considered. Nowadays, they are all made of fiberglass poles, generally around 2.5kg;

It is recommended to buy a double tent that is heavy, which can help reduce the burden of people in the same group during physical activities

15. Sleeping bag and moisture-proof pad: If you have a tent, you will of course need a sleeping bag and moisture-proof pad. If there will be more activities around Shenzhen in the future, the applicable temperature does not need to be too low; if you often go to colder places, the applicable temperature should be below zero. If you have a place to stay for a long trip, bringing a sleeping bag will also help with hygiene.

16. Headlamp or flashlight: We can’t always calculate our trip accurately. When the trip is delayed, we will definitely need it; when we climbed the Goddess Peak in the Three Gorges on November 1, there were dozens of us ( (There are also other domestic travelers) It was already dark when we went down the mountain, so the headlamp played a life-saving role.

If there are camping activities, headlamps or flashlights will also be used. Camping lights can be ignored for now.

17. Raincoat: Regardless of the length of the trip, we are more likely to encounter rain on the way, so having a raincoat will save us from the pain of getting wet. Of course, a disposable white plastic poncho will also work (it can be used as a tablecloth to spread on the ground during FB).

18. Tinder knives: It is best to use windproof tinder knives. A sharp multi-functional military knife should be your first choice. Its saw and knife may be the ones you use most frequently outdoors; and the knife may sometimes When used in conjunction with medicine, for example, if you are bitten by a snake, it must be sharp.

If possible, it would be more reassuring to equip yourself with a larger dagger. I once saw a diving dagger in a diving supplies store, and I was very moved.

20. Compass Whistle: A compass is a must-have for outdoor activities. Needless to say its specific function, right? But only if you know how to use it.

Whistle is an effective tool to communicate with companions when traveling together. 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 for information, etc. Another function of the whistle is that it can vent your pride and sense of accomplishment, because your voice can easily become hoarse.

22. 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), astamine, alcohol, erythromycin ointment , bandage + gauze, band-aid, snake medicine, cold medicine;

23. Rope: I feel that it is more necessary to travel in a group than to travel alone. But you must be familiar with various knotting methods. Bringing a 30-meter climbing rope should be enough

25. Photographic equipment: It is not recommended to bring a tripod when walking long distances. It is best to have enough film;

26. Communication equipment: Just in case Contact;

27. Dry food and drinking water: carry a small amount,

28. Documents: ID card, other documents.
