Let's continue reading. What are the first preparations for hiking? Hiking shoes In any hiking trip, whether it's an hour's trip, a day's trip or a month's trip to explore the Appalachian trail, protecting your feet is the first consideration. Shoes are not the place where you want to save money or be comfortable. You should buy it in a specialty store with high-quality equipment and knowledgeable sales staff. It is important to leave enough space in front of your toes so that your toes won't hurt when you go down a steep slope. At the same time, you can't leave too much space behind your ankle, otherwise your foot will often slip at the heel, leading to blisters. Be sure to wear thick hiking socks when trying on shoes. A pair of good hiking shoes can travel thousands of miles. What preparations do you need to make for hiking? Second. Raincoat. It often rains during hiking. On the mountain, sudden rain can lead to fever. Hikers without rain gear are usually in big trouble (except in the desert). Nylon raincoat with hood is a good choice. It should be knee-high so that it can be used as a tarpaulin in an emergency. The only inconvenience of this style is when there is a strong wind. Nylon rain gear can be well matched with loose casual pants, but it will be very hot. Goltex is too expensive and doesn't last as long as nylon. What preparations do you need to make for hiking? Third. A water bottle or kettle. Drinking water is essential for hiking. It's not soda, it's juice, it's water. The water encountered during the journey may be unsafe, so it is wise to bring enough water. Most people need a quart of water for hiking in cold weather. If you travel in warm or hot weather, you need two to three quarts of water according to your physical condition. If you want to have a hard or long-distance hiking in hot weather, you should bring at least one gallon of water every day. Most headaches after hiking are caused by dehydration. Carrying drinking water with you is an unbreakable premise. What preparations do you need to make for hiking? Fourth. Backpack. Backpack is a small and orderly travel bag, with enough space for what you need: food, water, rain gear, extra clothes and other small things. Try to put your backpack on your shoulders so that the weight is evenly distributed. There are all kinds of backpacks in the shopping mall. Long-term travel requires an all-around backpack that can be repaired both inside and outside. What preparations do you need to make for hiking? Fifth. Other items that need to be carried. 1. Usually bring a local map and compass. It is common to get lost in a strange place. 2. Pack small help items. Equipment should include: bandages, adhesive tapes, disinfectant cream and band-aid to prevent sprains or knee problems. Twill flannel is very helpful for blisters. The problem of annoying insects should be considered in warm weather. 4. Sunglasses and sun hat are very important in preventing the sun from causing too much damage to the skin. Small whistle is necessary in special circumstances. Three consecutive sounds are common distress signals. Do not play with it. 6. If it is too late, flashlights and spare batteries will be very useful. 7. Always bring toilet paper, because you never know when you will need them. 8. Knife is also an indispensable tool. You don't need to bring high-end products or attach many blades. A simple knife is enough. 9. Matches are essential for camping at night. Take waterproof matches and put them in plastic bags. 10. crutches are necessary tools to keep balance and help you wade across the river. I usually use it when I am walking on the path or when I am tired. What preparations do you need to make for hiking? 6. Food A one-day trip usually includes eating a big breakfast before departure, and then taking your lunch with you. Food provides fuel for the body, so it is unwise to go on a diet during hiking. Your lunch should be some fast food to keep your health level. A good suggestion is to put all food in double-layer strong plastic bags to prevent leakage. Avoid bringing delicate fruits in warm weather, they are perishable. Bring sandwiches and fruit. Other suggestions: bring cheese, biscuits, canned sardines, tuna, assorted fruits and wheat boxes, yogurt and peanut butter. I usually wrap sandwiches in pocket cakes to prevent the bread from being crushed in my backpack. You can put anything in the bag cake. Apples are good and will not be crushed. Potato cake will make your backpack full, although it is small, so bring some fresh vegetables, such as celery, carrots, pumpkins or broccoli. Make sure your food is your favorite flavor and contains dried fruits, nuts, biscuits, biscuits, pretzels and grains. Avoid sugary desserts with little nutritional value. It is enough for me to bring a small packet of hard candy. What preparations do you need to make for hiking? 7. What I left at home? This radio doesn't belong in the forest. Hikers want to enjoy the sounds and tranquility of nature. It is impolite to turn on the radio during the trip. You will be warned. Turn off the radio. Pets really don't belong to the wild and may become a hidden danger. Sometimes not tying the dog will disturb or hurt wild animals. Barking dogs and threats to other hikers will not bring you gratitude. Few people keep clever pets. Dogs and other pets are not allowed in some parks and wild areas, so you should know the rules before you leave. If you can untie the pimp, please restrain them. You have an obligation to clean up your pet's excrement. What preparations should I make for hiking: Tips and warnings: Remember what to bring. Take all your things. Don't litter. Tell others where you are going and when you will come back. What preparations do you need to make for hiking?
