Hiking has always been popular due to its widespread availability. You don't have to be an athlete to go on a hike for a few days, live in the wild and be alone with nature. But on a hike, there can be many unforeseen circumstances due to the fact that you pack your backpack incorrectly or choose the wrong equipment.
Tourism footwear
Pick up hiking shoes not difficult. In many sports stores, whole shelves are allocated for this type. However, you must understand that walking on a hike is not worth it in flip flops or sandals. This is fraught with the fact that by the middle of the day mazoli will rub on their feet and the hike will turn into hell.
You can also go hiking in regular sneakers, but you must take into account the fact that during the hike you may have to cross the water, or there will simply be high humidity. Running shoes unsuitable for these tests can simply fall apart from the moisture. Therefore, also consider this feature.
Also, it's best to always have spare shoes in case of an emergency. After all, during a hike, boots can be torn against something, or they simply step wrong, thereby ruining the sole. And it is advisable, if there is a place, to take light flip flops with you. So that your feet can rest from shoes at a halt.
Clothes for tourism
Of course, it all depends on what time of year you go and what area. Therefore, we will only talk about the warm season.
You can wear shorts and a T-shirt. But if a lot of mosquitoes are expected where you go, it is best to wear a thin long-sleeved sweater.
Don't forget about the hat. Also, if it's not hot, you should go in pants. In general, the more your skin is covered, the less likely you are to get burned, rub off your shoulders with backpack straps and catch ticks in the forest.
How to fold a backpack
Remember, you will be carrying your backpack all day, and perhaps more than one day. Therefore, you need to arrange things so that there is free access to them, but at the same time the center of gravity is as high as possible.
Therefore, put down light and voluminous things that will not be useful to you until the very night. And above, fold things by weight. That is, the lower, the easier. It is necessary to put the most necessary things on top, which may come in handy during the hike before the halt. For example, raincoats or snacks.
Try to prevent various canned food from pressing on your back, and put something soft between your back and the contents of the backpack. For example, an unfolded sleeping bag.
