If you decide to join the multi-million army of tourists who prefer to rest on the river, lake or in the forest, your first thought is likely to be: “What should I take to nature?” In this article, we will be happy to give you useful tips. They may be useful to your friends and acquaintances, so be sure to share this information with them.
Walking: what to take with you to nature
For walking, the most important element is the shoes! It should be comfortable, worn, with a thick grooved sole. Further clothes: sports, not restricting movements. It should cover your arms, legs and head, that is, you should have a light jacket or windbreaker, tight pants, a cap or a bandana. Still need a backpack, it is collected in advance, and all things are packed so that they do not rest against your back. The backpack should have the following: a sleeping bag (if there will be an overnight stay), insect repellent, swimsuit or swimming trunks (if you plan to stop on the river), dishes (a knife, spoon, plate, mug - everything is either plastic or metal), one bowler hat (for all), a supply of food for the entire duration of the trip (plus a still small supply), a first-aid kit (iodine, bandage, anesthetic, etc. - one for all), a supply of water (taking into account whether you can replenish it or not). And do not forget about such useful trifles as matches, a needle with a thread, toilet paper, wet wipes. You can, of course, take something else, but keep in mind: each gram of excess weight will have to be pulled on itself. Therefore, on a hiking trip, you need to take a minimum of things, only what you can not do without.
A picnic trip by car: what to take with you to nature
Everything is very simple here - you can take everything that fits into the trunk of your car. Barbecue facilities, pickled meat and folding furniture are welcome. There is a first-aid kit in every car, but you will have to take care of drinking water in advance: you need to take about 3-4 liters per person (taking into account that you will wash your hands or products), and this should be enough for a five- or six-hour rest.
Two-day rest: what to take with you to nature
If you decide not to confine yourself to just a picnic, but spend all weekend in the lap of nature, you should better approach the loading of the trunk. So, we take with us a tent, a couple of rugs, several polyurethane rugs (protection against evening and morning dew), a supply of food, dishes, an ax, a small supply of firewood, replaceable clothes (shoes), bathing suits, towels, personal hygiene products, matches, anything from mosquitoes. Do not forget about the supply of water (5 liters per day per person), a small supply of firewood is welcome.
What foods to take on nature
In addition to water, you need to bring groats (rice, buckwheat, millet), noodles, several cans of stew, sugar, salt (required), bread, fresh fruits and vegetables, coffee and tea. This is the minimum set of products to which you can add different goodies. But what you should not take is perishable and dairy products, cream cakes, ready-made salads from home (they will quickly go bad, so cook on the spot). All these restrictions do not apply if you have a cooler bag, in which case the list of delicacies is limited only by its volume.
So, we told you what to take to nature, taking into account the format of the proposed vacation. And the last one. Try to eliminate or minimize alcohol consumption. There are too many potentially dangerous factors in nature: open water (river, lake, sea), fire, animal burrows (you can easily break your leg), so do not add another one to them.
