Recreation and sports and health tourism is a great opportunity to spend a vacation not only with pleasure, but also with benefit. Of course, a trip of this kind may not be on the fanatics of luxury and comfort. But if you are ready to sacrifice the delights of a five-star hotel for the sake of amazing wildlife, songs by the fire and an amazing emotional background, then active types of tourism are just for you. This can be a walking or cycling tour of the protected areas, mountains and other places of interest to you, rafting on the river in kayaks and catamarans, excavations or just relaxing with tents in the “extreme” conditions of a forest or sea coast that has not yet been developed by civilization.
Experienced travelers claim that it is overcoming obstacles, having difficulty climbing a steep cliff, walking 30 km a day with a 10-15 kilogram backpack, one can experience real satisfaction and happiness. Speaking of backpacks ... Let's figure it out: what to take on a hike, so that after it there are only good impressions and the warmest feelings.
Stack one: clothes
The main rule of hiking clothing is versatility and comfort. You should not take with you half of the summer and a quarter of the winter wardrobe. You will be surprised, but the lion's share of your costumes and dresses will remain lonely lying at the bottom of the backpack. If you definitely want to defile in all your outfits, then it is worth remembering that most wild forests and mountains, where the paw of an animal or bird steps several times more often than a human foot, unfortunately, and perhaps fortunately, are not equipped with high-tech Laundries and dry cleaners. To wash and dry clothes in such conditions is quite problematic. And if you do not want to walk around the country, bending under the weight of a bag of dirty things - thoroughly think over your camping wardrobe. Let it be comfortable non-marking breeches or shorts made of natural material, 2-3 cotton t-shirts that reliably protect your shoulders from sunlight, an airtight skirt, panama hat or cap that fits perfectly on the foot and does not rub strong shoes. It is definitely worth taking a warm version of the toilet: woolen socks, tight jeans, a sweater or a jacket. And to emphasize your ability to be charming and feminine in any conditions, grab a light weightless sundress - it will come in handy at the Miss Hike contest. As for underwear, there are similar recommendations - natural, comfortable, quick-drying.
Pile second: hygiene and first aid kit
What to take on a hike from a variety of favorite cosmetics? As with washing, water procedures can cause problems - fresh water in sufficient quantities is not everywhere. The best solution in this case is wet antibacterial wipes, soap, several disposable shampoo bags, a toothbrush and toothpaste, a universal moisturizer with a powerful UF filter, a cleansing toner and daily sanitary pads. All other charms of modern cosmetology, such as shower gels, conditioners, masks, scrubs, and even more so, decorative products, it makes sense to leave home.
Particular attention should be paid to the medicine cabinet. In the best case, it is not needed at all, but still, taking care of the availability of certain medicines is simply necessary. So what to take on a camping trip from medication? A few sterile bandages, cotton wool, a bactericidal adhesive plaster and a pair of fingertips, hydrogen peroxide, brilliant green or iodine, a bottle of alcohol - a must-have kit for first aid for minor injuries. In addition, you may need medications in the following areas: painkillers, medicines for diarrhea, and cold. Be sure to take activated charcoal, mosquito ointment, “Rescuer” and “Panthenol-D” spray.
Stack third: sleeper and food
Usually, the participants in the trip agree in advance on who will take the tent, who is the ax, the boiler or the gas burner, and who is the food. What to take on a camping trip besides this? You will definitely need Karimat foam, a warm sleeping bag and a towel. Such a set allows you to conveniently settle for the night even without a tent. Of the cutlery you will need a metal bowl, mug and spoon.
Stack Four: good mood
“I love traveling” - this idea must be put into your already practically assembled backpack. From time to time, taking it into the light, you can overcome the steepest slopes and dangerous rapids, all the inconveniences and hardships of camping life. So, faith in yourself, a positive attitude, a thirst for adventure - and forward to conquering the unknown distances!
