What to take in a hike in the summer

If you are going to join the world of hiking for the first time, then this article will be of interest to you. In it we will tell you what to take in the campaign in the summer. Why in the summer? The inexperienced traveler is best to go camping in the summer, although in our country the most favorable time for traveling is the so-called "Indian summer" - a week or ten days in late September, when nature generously gives us warm and clear days before the arrival of autumn rains.

So, what you need to take in the campaign? First of all, take care of clothes and shoes. If you go on a one-day trip, then it will be enough for you to take only an extra pair of socks with you in case you get wet feet, and a jacket or a plastic cape from a sudden rain. It would also be superfluous to grab a shirt with a long sleeve or a sweater. Pay more attention to shoes. Do not wear uninformed shoes. Even if it's super-expensive sneakers. They can still rub their feet, and this will make you a real disability, unable to move independently. You will spoil the pleasure of the trip, both to yourself and to your companions.

A multi-day trek requires more thorough equipment. Before you start to make a list of what to take in the hike, think about the fact that all this load you have to drag on your own hump. Do not be too lazy, put everything that you wrote on paper into a backpack, and now try to pick it up. And How? The cargo seems to you quite feasible, since you, even with difficulty, but were able to tear it from the ground? Well, now try to walk with him around the apartment for at least half an hour. But in the campaign you have to go not on a smooth floor, but on rough terrain.

We begin anew. From the clothes you need to take a few pairs of socks, underwear, a few T-shirts, training pants, a sweater, a jacket. Headwear is compulsory. The approach to shoes is the same - comfortable, strong, messy.

Still what to take in a campaign? Be sure to take a knife, spoon, metal mug and bowl, matches, first-aid kit, sleeping bag, mobile phone, salt, food, water tank and card. This is the minimum set. The mobile phone must be charged, and it is best to grab another spare battery to it. It may be needed to navigate the terrain or call for help.

What products to take in the campaign? First of all, they should not be packed in glass and belong to the category of "speedboats". That is, you can forget about any boiled sausages, salads and cakes, as well as a fried chicken with boiled eggs. If, in principle, you do not imagine a trip without these attributes of the railway traveler, then eat all the home preparations at the first halt. And arrange this rest immediately, as you will get out of the city line. You can and should take cereals, spices, canned goods, soups in sachets, bread and crackers, coffee and tea, sugar and salt, chocolate, dried fruits and ... a bottle of vodka. It is better to pour in a vodka in a plastic bottle. It may be needed for rubbing, treating wounds and for raising the mood in the halts before going to bed.

Agree among themselves, what to take in a campaign to each participant. This applies to such necessary things as an ax, a bowler, an inflatable mattress and a tent. They are taken at the rate of one piece for two or three.
