How to pack your luggage before departure

◆ What to bring?

First of all, prepare clothes according to the weather conditions of the place where you are going. If you are going to Hainan, don’t forget to bring some thin clothes; if you are going to the Northeast, it is best to bring a thick down jacket; of course , replacement clothes can be determined according to the number of days you go. If you are taking a child with you, be sure to prepare some extra clothes for him.

Secondly, medicines to prevent colds, stomach upsets, mosquito bites and insect bites are also necessary. People with heart disease, asthma and other diseases should also bring their own commonly used medicines.

After sorting these out, you also need to consider some odds and ends, such as napkins, hand towels, toilet paper, etc. Friends who like photography will of course bring a camera, but it is also necessary to bring enough film, so there are some Film in tourist areas is much more expensive! Don’t forget essential documents such as ID cards, children’s household registers, marriage certificates, and small items such as paper and pens, so you won’t be blinded if they are used for anything.

When you go out, don’t forget to bring your address book. It is best to have the phone number of the employer you are waiting for.

Last and most important: money. Don’t take this less! About 1 to 5 times the budget is enough.

◆ How to pack?

If you are using a general travel bag, it is best to put rarely used items such as clothes on the lower layer, and place medicines, tissues, documents, etc. on the upper layer in turn. If you have a mountaineering bag that you carry on your back, there are several pockets that can be used to store various things. For example, the lower layer of the bag can be used to store clothing and uncommon sundries, the upper layer can be used to store cameras, etc., and the top lid of the bag can be used to store medicines, tissues, etc. The two side pockets are for storing documents, etc.

◆Choose the right travel bag

No matter where you go, a travel bag is the most important piece of travel equipment. Travel bags are divided into two types: carry type and back type. The lifting position can relax the shoulders and get a rest; the back position can free the hands and facilitate movement. When traveling, it is best to choose a backpack, because the backpack is easier to move.

◆Basic Requirements for Backpacks

It doesn’t matter if you carry a small bag when traveling, but it does matter if you carry a large bag. Especially large backpacks with a volume of more than 50 liters should be paid more attention to. When placing items, put heavy objects in the lower part that are not afraid of being bumped. After placing them, it is best to make the backpack standable. Tighten the belt so that the crotch receives the most gravity, and relax the shoulder straps so that the top of the shoulder straps are at an angle of 45-60 degrees. It's very easy to walk like this, as if you're not carrying anything on your back. If there are many heavy objects or they are all heavy objects, they can be placed evenly. The chest strap should be buckled and tightened so that the backpacker does not feel backward. When walking, hold the adjustment strap between the shoulder straps and backpack with both hands. Lean the body slightly forward, so that the gravity when walking is actually on the waist and hips, and there is no pressure on the back. In the event of an emergency, the upper limbs can be used flexibly to deal with it. When there are too many items to fit in the backpack, tents, sleeping bags, moisture-proof pads, etc. can be placed on the outside of the backpack and fixed with external straps. There are also differences in plug-in parts in different terrains. For example, if you are going into a jungle, don't go to high places. There are also techniques for carrying heavy bags on your shoulders. Place the backpack at a certain height with your shoulders into the shoulder straps. It is more convenient to lean forward and stand up on your legs. If there is no high place to store it, use both hands to lift the backpack. Place on one knee (facing the sling). Then control the bag with one hand, grab the shoulder strap with the other hand and quickly turn so that one arm enters the shoulder strap, making it much easier for the other arm to enter. When passing through rapids and steep areas, rope protection must be provided. When passing without protection, the shoulder straps should be loosened, and the waist belt and chest strap should be opened so that in case of danger, the person's bag can be separated as quickly as possible.
