Must read! Do you know or don’t know hiking skills?

The technique of trekking is understood in the narrow sense as the use of physical skills in the process of outdoor sports to skillfully reduce the damage caused by outdoor extreme environments to their own bodies. Broadly speaking, it refers to a series of empirical knowledge derived from the understanding of the destination route selection and the understanding of the natural environment.

Usually, we classify it as the following 3 steps:

1. The choice of pre-trip routes

Choosing the right travel method based on your own experience and physical fitness is the first step in choosing a route.

Do you think that once you walk through the ancient road of the emblem, you can walk on the seven tips with an outdoor club?

If you are just a marathon enthusiast, for the first time you are planning to cross Otaru on your outdoor adventure?

2. Tips for hiking

a. Do not blindly follow other people's walking speeds, according to their own physical conditions to allocate physical fitness.

Newcomers have certain disadvantages regarding the length of the circuit and the difficulty of the circuit at the cognitive level. Especially in medium and high-intensity circuits, the physical energy consumption in the front section is too large, and the sprains and wrestling are very likely to occur in the physical fitness in the latter stage.

b. The rest time during the walk should not exceed 10 minutes.

The control of rhythm during hiking is very important. A long rest will gradually “cool down” the “engine” that is running normally. To return to the previous state, it takes longer “warm up”, which will make You feel more tired.

c. When you feel unwell (because your heart beats, you have difficulty breathing, etc.), stop immediately to find out the reason. You can't ignore every signal the body gives you. This can be a precursor to danger.

d. Going to the toilet during the hike or other reasons need to leave the team. Be sure to greet the leader first. Otherwise, it is very likely that you will get lost.

e. Keep the garbage bag with you and leave nothing except the footprints.

3. How to choose outdoor hiking equipment

Choose a suitable outdoor equipment to help protect yourself from harm during outdoor sports. Xiao Bian made a simple explanation on the following types of necessary equipment:

Trekking pole

Hiking shoes

Everyone has a kind of "stupid, big, stupid, and rough" impression on hiking shoes. Perhaps you do not know, this is a pair of specially designed uppers can add a layer of strong "muscle" to your ankle, thereby reducing the risk of lameness. Thick, bold hard soles, in addition to wear, but also more tightly grasp the slippery surface, and rushed off the uneven surface damage to you, play a role in cushioning.

Jackets

The Jackets mentioned here refer to functional clothing that is waterproof and breathable. Because of the unpredictability of the outdoor environment, waterproof clothes are needed to deal with possible extreme weather. Of course, air permeability is also very important. The sweat glands in the human body will secrete a lot of sweat during the walking process. The volatilization of the sweat requires good air permeability. If the clothes are not airy and sweat can't evaporate, Nima will feel the sweat in the brain.

Old sayings often say "a penny and a piece of goods". In the case of ample budget, it is still advisable to choose some better brands. Of course, friends with limited budgets can also consider brands that label their own fabrics and raincoats.

Functional Backpack

It refers to a functional backpack that can transfer the weight of the backpack from the shoulder to the hip to reach 15 pounds and the body feel is only 10 pounds.
