What do you need to bring when hiking?

Nowadays, many friends will invite a few good friends to go hiking together during their rest time or holidays. Hiking is indeed a sport that can not only exercise the body but also enhance the relationship with family and friends. When hiking, we know that we need to bring some water or food, so what else do we need to bring when hiking? Now let me tell you what you need to bring when hiking.

Essential medicines

In the summer, you can prepare the following common medicines in case of emergency.

1. Preparatory medicines for preventing heatstroke: Ren Dan, Shi Di Shui, Huoxiang Zhengqi Shui, etc.

2. Alternative medicines for skin itching caused by mosquito bites and insect bites: Fengyoujing, cooling oil, safflower oil, etc.

You don't need any equipment to climb some scenic hills in a short period of time, such as Thousand Buddha Mountain and Yingxiong Mountain, but don't wear leather shoes, new shoes, high heels and sandals. These shoes are not suitable for walking long distances, uneven roads and slippery roads, and they are prone to blisters on the soles of the feet and injuries to the skin of the feet. Lightweight sports shoes, hiking shoes and rubber-soled cloth shoes are suitable for mountaineering. But if you want to climb a wild mountain, a mountain with a certain height and difficulty in climbing, it is best to have the following equipment:

(1) Map, (2) Compass, (3) Headlamp (with spare bulb and batteries), (4) Spare food and water, (5) Spare clothing, (6) Sunglasses, (7) Swiss Army knife, (8) Fire, (9) Lighter, (10) First aid kit.

Climbing tips

(1) When climbing a hill, lean your upper body forward and upward, bend your waist and abdomen, and move forward steadily. When climbing a rocky area, you must step firmly on the flat rocks. When climbing steep rocks, you must hold on to the undulating parts with angular fulcrums. Learn the combination of climbing with both hands, one foot on the ground and supporting the ground with both feet and climbing up with one hand.

(2) When going downhill, the upper body should be slightly protruding, the abdomen should be bent, the center of gravity should be slightly moved backward, and the walking speed should be slow, with small and steady steps.

(3) Methods for removing obstacles encountered during mountaineering: ① Move forward through weedy areas by pushing away tall grass, trampling down low grass, and stepping over vines and grass. ② When passing through bushes, look around and be careful not to get your head hooked by branches. ③ When crossing mountain streams or creeks, wade slowly and keep your center of gravity low.

The above explains some of the supplies you need to bring when hiking, as well as some key points for hiking. I hope it will be helpful to friends who like hiking. When hiking, you must not go to some barren mountains, or mountains where very few people go, because there may be some dangers in these mountains. If we rush in, it may cause some unnecessary losses.
