Four things you need for hiking
1. Map. To ensure that your campaign is not over almost before it began, be sure to check whether you have a map of the route is that going to pass. Recommend the so-called 500-metrovke (1cm = 500m). So many tourists do not take a map and normally without it costing. But, believe me, the card is very important in the campaign. With its help, you can orient yourself, walk with others to determine the route, if necessary, to find sources of water and place to sleep. In good weather you can just learn the names and even the tops of the surrounding peaks. Therefore, if you do not want to be looking for lifeguards - an essential attribute of the campaign map. Council. Card taped to it does not get wet, not torn. And always keep her near him.
2. Clothing and shoes. Be sure to check you have the appropriate clothing and shoes. Weather in the Carpathians is very variable. During the day can be very hot and very cold. Therefore, you should be prepared for sudden weather changes. So shoes. Best shoes - its trekking boots or sneakers. Also suitable strong leather shoes. Well, an extreme case - the usual sneakers or shoes. Girls, no heels :) In no case cannot go hiking in the new, not worn-shoes. Otherwise, you are guaranteed swelling of the feet, blisters and calluses. Shoes need to take it to its size with a margin on warm socks. It is also desirable to have a change of shoes.
This is best suited sandals. In them you will go to the camp Tents and move on flat terrain. Clothing Socks (1 warm, normal 2-3) Running pants (jeans are not suitable) Shorts 2-3 T-shirts Light sweater Warm sweater (believe me, there are very cold night) Windbreaker (a squall winds) Waterproof jacket with hood Cap Mittens (light gloves will protect your hands from wind and hypothermia after rain) Also very nice to have a thermal underwear to sleep Council. All clothes keep in a waterproof bag, or at least in the normal package to protect from moisture.
3. Protection from the rain. Summer in the Carpathians - the rainy season. Rain falls here almost every day. And do not take a raincoat hoping for sunny weather forecast - it's like playing the lottery. If you want to get wet and soak all the things or ill - you’re right. In another case, certainly, first of all, take a raincoat. Also, be sure to be rain-coat on a backpack. Council. Raincoats, which are sold on the market are not suitable for the campaign. It is advisable to take a waterproof cape or poncho, cover you with a backpack. When in the shower and all your stuff will stay dry - you'll be incredibly grateful for this advice. 4. KLMN. Cup, spoon, bowl, knife. As practice shows these things, people forget more often. And if you are traveling with friends, dinner with the common pot spoon general can only bring you closer. But if you unfamiliar people - the situation is quite unpleasant. Council. No need to take the plug. Spoon perfectly replaces it. Do not take a heavy dishes, and utensils fights. Than desirable complex.
