With the development of the times, the high tempo of life in big cities makes people feel a little tired, and this is the time to step into the nature, an outdoor hiking is a good choice. Participants are called "donkeys", so as donkeys, we participate in the hiking what it takes.
1. Hiking is all about your feet, so be sure to wear a good pair of shoes, professional hiking shoes.
a, hiking shoes are waterproof and breathable to reduce sweating. b, hiking shoes are generally designed to be on the lighter side to reduce the burden. c, the stability and strength of the shoes are also much better than the average shoe.
There are also many types of hiking shoes, the most important thing is to be sure to fit, wear comfortable to go all the way.
2. The backpack is also very important in the hiking process, the necessities of the trip to the backpack to backpack, this time you need to consider how much volume of the backpack, the general short and medium trips 40L ` backpack enough, if you need to travel long distances, then you should need to be 60L or so of the backpack.
Besides the size of the backpack, the most important thing is to be professional, professional backpacks can make you comfortable, decomposition of back pressure.
3. The choice of walking stick also depends on the distance and weight of the backpack, if it is only a short distance there is no need to use, if you go a long way, then you absolutely need a good walking stick to help you share the pressure.
A good trekking pole can improve the stability of walking and reduce the burden on the legs.
4. It is still important to prepare some essential medicines.
Bring according to your usual needs, such as cold medicine, antidiarrheal medicine, anemarrhena and so on.
5. Chocolate and sugar are the main food.
This will provide you with enough high-energy food, and pure water.
What equipment is needed for outdoor hiking?
1, backpack
Unless there is a big meal cooked on the mountain or other special needs, the general situation, the backpack capacity of about 15 to 20 liters will be enough, the basic contents of raincoats, rain gear, snacks, drinking water, personal 3C supplies, wallets, keys, medical kits, toilet paper and other items can be stuffed; if you want to be a little more advanced, there will be pots and pans, stoves, cutlery, and even a lightweight If you want to be more advanced, there will be pots, pans, stoves, cutlery, and even lightweight chairs and tables, so that you can cook a hot meal at your resting place, and then you need to increase the capacity of your backpack to 20-30 liters.
2. Pants
Since most of the single-day hiking routes are at low to medium altitudes, the temperature is not too low, so we recommend wearing light, breathable, loose-fitting pants and avoiding cotton, heavy casual pants such as drawstring sweatpants and jeans. But if the weather is really cold, there's nothing wrong with wearing thicker pants.
3. Tops
Tops, like pants, try to avoid cotton clothing, so breathable, sweat-producing, quick-drying polyester clothing is preferred, which effectively removes perspiration quickly, keeps the skin dry, and doesn't let the smell of sweat linger on the clothes. If you really don't know how to choose, just turn out the washing label of the clothes, if it states "Polyester100%", basically if you like the style to buy it will not be wrong.
4. Jackets
There are several kinds of jackets for trekking, including the outer layer of assault jackets, skin windbreakers and softshells, as well as the middle layer of warm clothing, such as chemical fiber, down and fleece jackets. But because the route is set in the middle and low altitude mountainous areas, and is the same day back and forth, so if there is no special circumstances in fact do not need to wear to the warmth of the layer, and if there is a real need for warmth, any one of the thicker jackets, hooded T can meet the needs of the as long as the back to move or stuffed into the backpack, want to wear how you can, do not need to be too rigid, and then later on, if there is a need to add to the purchase of the can.
5, hiking poles
If the use of proper, hiking poles will be like another extension of the two feet, and four feet climbing will of course be more efficient than two feet. It can assist with power on the way up, help dampen the knees on the way down, and increase braking power on the way up and down in some intermediate mountain areas with high humidity, all in one.
What gear do I need for outdoor hiking and climbing?
One: Backpacks need to have a backpacking system and bracketsFrom the design and functionality point of view, the capacity is relatively small compared to large backpacks, and it will be easier to carry.
Medium-sized backpacks are adapted to a larger span of hiking days and intensity, from as short as two or three days to as long as 20 or 30 days. Hikers who are good at packing scientifically and practicing lightweighting will have no problem carrying all their camping gear in a medium-sized pack.
Two: the top of the punch jacket, sweat, warmth, wind, rain and other functions into the inner, middle and outer three layers, layer by layer "wear" on the body. Skin windbreaker is a kind of clothes made of very high density chemical fiber. As you can see from the words, the main function of this clothing is to protect against wind, in addition to only a little bit of rain.
Three: lower clothing because always in motion, the legs of the cold tolerance is much stronger than the upper body, often an outer layer of pants is enough, the warm layer is sometimes the bottom layer, or merged with the outer layer of pants.
And the same principle as the upper garment, the bottom layer needs to absorb moisture, sweat, breathable function, therefore, the cotton bottom pants and underwear should be the first to be eliminated; the best outer pants are windproof, waterproof, quick drying, breathable, wear-resistant "all-round player", but "all-round player "The best outer pants are windproof, waterproof, quick-drying, breathable and abrasion-resistant. Punching pants are the opposite of punching jackets, with the same fabrics and functions. Punching pants are windproof, waterproof ability than other pants are strong, but the airtightness is too good also means poor breathability, although blocking the rain, sweat also accumulated in the pants to walk out, there is a "heavy rain outside inside the rain" situation. Punching pants are very wear-resistant and can withstand scratches from bushes, rock walls, etc., but because the fabric is not stretchy and hard to the touch, it makes your legs less flexible. In terms of comfort, rushing pants are the worst of several types of outdoor pants, and they don't keep you warm.
Four: shoes for the first hiking novice, "hiking shoes" area can be temporarily disregarded. The classification of hiking shoes and mountaineering shoes in China is a bit fuzzy and often confused, but mountaineering shoes are actually a kind of heavy-duty hiking boots, used to climb high-altitude, complex terrain mountains, and sometimes even with the ice claws with the use of only exceptionally experienced players as well as professional mountaineers will be used. The outdoor shoes most likely to be used by beginners are trail running shoes, low-top hiking shoes, and mid-top hiking shoes, and these three types of shoes can satisfy almost all of the routes you will try when you are just starting out with hiking.
Five: Hiking poles are an important aid for hikers, distributing the impact of landing on your legs to your arms. It gives a handful of help when you're going up a hill or can't walk, and when you're going downhill, it takes the pressure off your legs and knees and prevents you from injuring yourself by rushing too fast. The price of hiking poles ranges from a few dozen to a few hundred, usually, a price a penny, high-quality hiking poles are both lightweight, but also more durable, cheap hiking poles sometimes even "out of the teacher is not quick body first death". However, regardless of the price, strong or weak, the use of hiking poles than not hiking poles strong, and even hold two branches than "bare hands" strong.
Hiking poles are divided into folding and telescopic. Foldable trekking poles are easy to store, basically the same height as the 50L backpack after folding, but the length is fixed after opening, so you can't adjust the length according to the actual need. Telescopic trekking poles can be adjusted in length, but it is best not to adjust to the limit length, it will increase the burden of the joints and joints of the combination of the burden of this type of trekking poles of the locking system has a fastener type and rotary two kinds of locking system, one from the external locking, a lock from the internal locking, the external locking structure is relatively less likely to be broken.
Six: knee pads In a person's life, as long as walking, the knee will always have some wear and tear, hiking in the process of the weight of the knee also caused a lot of pressure on the knee, and the knee once the damage is almost irreversible. After days of intense hiking or climbing, it will lead to a decline in muscle strength, the phenomenon of trembling legs and shaky knees, you need a pair of knee pads, which help to fix the patella, thus improving the stability of walking. There are three common types of knee pads: all-inclusive, round hole, and harness. The all-inclusive type has the best fixation and support effect; the round hole type knee pads are designed with an opening at the patella position, which can better fix the patella; the harness type, also known as patella band, is worn a little bit below the patella position, but it does not protect other parts of the knee.
Summer hiking gear essential equipment

Summer hiking equipment essential equipment

Pillbox bag, 21 gold Vitamin, cold medicine, gastrointestinal medicine, plateau reflection medicine, Sang Li pain, trauma medicine, motion sickness medicine, gauze, cotton swabs, adhesive tape, insect repellent medicine, patchouli pills or Huanglianxin, hemostatic patch, ammonia water.
Outdoor hiking, you should carry some essential medical supplies. Summer weather is hot, outdoor sports are very physical exertion, in addition to timely hydration during the trip, but also pay attention to prevent heat stroke.
On the way to travel, should be equipped with essential supplies such as anemone, patchouli, bruise medicine. If you find dizziness, you should promptly into the anemone applied to the temples and under the nose, or take patchouli water in time, take a short break. If the situation is serious, you should stop hiking and go to the nearest hospital for treatment.
2, backpack
The size of the backpack should be determined by the distance of the travel route, generally around the city to travel around 30 liters. If you do long-distance travel, MM should have a 55-liter backpack, GG should have a 65-liter backpack.
When choosing to buy a backpack, you must repeat the back test and be sure to ask the salesman with the relevant technology to teach the correct use of the backpack, or else you will not be able to travel to reduce the load, even the role of the burden.
Buying a bag does not have to be the most expensive, the important thing is to be suitable for their own body's back system, the fabric should be strong, light rain, in the purchase if the backpack does not come with a rain cover, then you do not forget to buy a backpack at the same time rain cover.
3. Shoes
The good or bad of shoes will be directly related to your personal safety, be sure to choose a good pair of hiking shoes. The best hiking shoes are high-bonded, which can protect your ankle bones, which are easily injured when hiking for a long time.
If you are an outdoor sports enthusiast, the time, effort and money spent on choosing a good pair of shoes is worth it. Personally, I think it's best to have GX waterproof and breathable fabrics, and you should always buy shoes from authentic malls or specialized outdoor stores for branded shoes.
When you try on the shoes, please keep in mind that they must be half a size or one size bigger, and when you wear them well, you can use your finger to measure the heel, and the gap is about one finger. If you're going on a long trip, or you know you're going to be wading in the water, then you should prepare a pair of backpacking shoes as a back-up, but of course you can also buy a pair of inexpensive liberty shoes.
4, underwear
Personal clothing construction is best not to wear cotton, because cotton underwear sweat absorption is better, in the alpine zone due to the underwear wet will make you feel cold, in the foreign mountaineering community, cotton underwear is known as "dead people wear clothes", of course, just the general hiking enthusiasts, the situation is not so terrible. The situation is not so terrible.
5, windbreaker
In every trip regardless of spring, summer, fall and winter, handsome boys and girls must wear long clothes and pants. In crossing the bushes and grass will be very good to protect their bodies, of course, it is best to waterproof. It's best to wear a pair of pants or a quick-drying jacket and pants. Never wear jeans and pants when hiking and climbing long distances because if you sweat or it rains. Denim clothes and pants can easily get warm and this will become your burden affecting the movement of both legs.
Summer is also a high incidence of thunderstorms, if you have already met lightning, you should unclasp metal objects, wear a raincoat to avoid getting wet, in the whole process, the use of cell phones is prohibited, and at the same time, hurry to find caves or low-lying places to avoid lightning, to ensure the safety of the trip.
6, hats and bandanas
You can choose a general sports cap, the most important thing is to be able to cover the sun, of course, you can also choose the kind of wide-brimmed hat, which can not only cover the sun can also be rainproof, in the alpine zone hat can also reduce the heat of your head. A large percentage of human body heat is emitted from the head, especially when the temperature is low. In the heat of the day you can also choose a headscarf, personally I think the heat dissipation of the headscarf is better. It also feels more comfortable.
7, sunglasses
Sunglasses for shade, more important in summer, the summit in the direct sun will make you open your eyes. However, they can also cause visual errors, so please use them with caution on cloudy days or dangerous roads.
8, gloves
Whether you go up or down the mountain, whether it is cold or hot, you must have a pair of gloves. Because walking in the grass and rocks will give you great protection, but pay attention to the point is that wearing gloves will reduce the sensitivity of the hand.
9, socks
In the choice of shoes will be half a yard or a yard, now talking about socks that is when you travel you should choose some thick socks, because long-distance climbing, if the socks are too thin, it is easy to wear your feet, if the socks are thin you can wear two pairs of.
10, sunscreen
The correct way to use sunscreen is to apply it first half an hour to an hour before going out and apply it regularly outdoors. If you exceed the safe stage of sun exposure, you will be sunburned or tanned as well. In the purchase of sunscreen, to avoid the blind spot, not the higher the SPF, the better the sunscreen effect. The main function of sunscreen is to prevent sunburn, and a small part of it is to prevent sun tanning. Relying only on sunscreen, is not up to the full effect of not tanning.
The benefits of hiking in summer
Easy travel, stress relief
I remember reading an article in the Beijng Daily News that said, according to statistics, all the stress and worries of a person's day, due to travel and transportation accounted for seventy percent of it! Hey, so if you are a road walker like me, how lucky it is ah - even every day after work on the backpack to start hiking, listening to the Walkman through the Sanlitun village, footsteps, eyes can also be around the fashion MM more than a few glances, not a moment into the subway station, dozens of minutes! After a few minutes, you will be home. It's convenient and economical, but also eye-catching.
Enhance the function of human organs
According to medical statistics, walking will make the blood pressure lower, reduce blood viscosity, conducive to strong heart muscle, reduce the formation of blood clots.
Strengthening bones and muscles
Walking exercise can exercise the whole body's skeletal system, stretching tendons, strengthening muscles, moving joints, strengthening bones, and reducing osteoporosis.
Regulation of feelings
Mao Zedong wrote an article in his youth, "the study of sports" in the cloud, sports, "strong muscles and bones, strong will, and emotional adjustment. Strong bones, as mentioned above, exercise every day at least 20 minutes, and to rain or shine, exercise every day, month after month, year after year, is the smelting of the will.
Reducing the condition
The exercise on foot can control and reduce the disease. For example, diabetic patients poor utilization of glucose, walking can increase the body's utilization of glucose, thereby controlling the development of diabetes. The United States had a health tracking survey of 72,488 nurses, for those who walked more than six hours a week, the incidence of stroke was reduced by 40 percent compared with others.
Summer hiking precautions
1, traveling in pairs can help each other and take care of each other. Pack little and light, but be sure to bring some common medicines.
2, to master the walking speed, generally a little slower at both ends, a little faster in the middle, the beginning of the walk to walk slowly, and then speed up. On the way should be a big break, usually at noon. The resting place should avoid direct sunlight and low-lying, wet place.
3, hiking after the end of the walk with warm water to wash your feet to relieve fatigue. When you have blisters on the palms of your feet, use a needle to pierce the holes to draw out the water and then apply red drops to prevent infection. Remember not to tear the skin off, so that is easy to infection will aggravate the pain of the feet.
4, hiking up the mountain, the body should be slightly forward leaning. Climbing steep hills should take the zigzag route. When going downhill, the body should be slightly backward, relax the lower limb muscles, so as to avoid waist and leg pain.
5, hiking should be based on their own physical conditions to determine the daily itinerary, generally 4-5 kilometers per hour. Every walk, you can choose the shade, gazebo and other places to rest for 15 minutes to restore energy.
6, should be before the departure of the need to pass through the region in all aspects of the situation, their own physical condition, as well as the prevailing climatic conditions have an understanding.
7, four categories of people are not suitable for mountaineering: people with leg diseases, such as arthritis, osteoarthritis and osteoporosis. Coronary heart disease patients, climbing the mountain physical exertion, blood circulation accelerated, the body burden increased, easy to induce angina pectoris, myocardial infarction. Patients with epilepsy, once the epileptic seizure, life-threatening. Vertigo patients, easy to fall.
8, to minimize luggage, light load. For the elderly, should bring a walking stick, both to save energy, but also conducive to safety.
9, walking on steep slopes, it is best to take the "zigzag" route, which can reduce the gradient. Do not walk too fast downhill, not to mention running, which will make the knee and leg muscles to withstand excessive tension, and make the knee joint injury or muscle strain.
10, rest do not sit on the wet ground and windy place, sweating can be a little loose collar, do not undress and remove the hat, in order to prevent wind and cold.
11, when you start climbing exercise, do not come up to increase the amount of exercise, to be gradual. Usually do some simple warm-up exercises, and then in accordance with a certain breathing rate, gradually increase the intensity, to avoid sudden changes in breathing rate in the movement.
12, the intensity of climbing should not be too large, the heart rate to maintain at 120 ~ 140 times / min. Climbing is an excellent aerobic exercise, generally 2 to 4 times a week exercise is appropriate.
