The experience of the tourist is calculated by the size of its backpack. Than the backpack is larger, especially the inexperienced tourist before you. It is known that in a campaign everything has to be with itself — both the house, and a cozy nest for a dream, and food, and replaceable clothes and footwear. And all this needs to be laid in a backpack so that it could be dressed on shoulders and to walk many kilometers including uphill with load. At first sight, the task seems excessive, but everything is solvable. Let's look what I go and that from things it is necessary to take in a campaign.
What it is necessary to take in a campaign?
The list of necessary things in a campaign will differ depending on where and to what season you are going to go. However, there is also a list of obligatory things. Among them:
- Money, tickets, documents (the first that it is necessary to take in a campaign and to hide this far away, in a backpack back, for example. However, you should not hide far tickets which are necessary for landing in the train, for example).
- Tent.
- Sleeping bag. Seasonally, temperature of comfort has to be different. The comfort (temperature on the street at which in a sleeping bag you will feel well) and an extreme (temperature on the street at which, being in a sleeping bag, you with guarantee do not die from cold) is specified on a sleeping bag cover. Temperature of comfort +10-+20 will be suitable for a summer campaign for couple of days to the forest and if you plan to go, for example, in the summer to Altai, then the comfort up to-15 degrees will definitely not prevent.
- Karimat (he a skin) — an easy rug on which it is convenient to sit on the earth and to spread under a sleeping bag.
- Footwear — the most important element in the tourist's equipment. The shoes due to be only sports, only crushed if you go to the mountains — that only mountain. Any heels, Siberian salmons with rhinestones and army boots. The campaign provides long transitions, and inconvenient footwear is fraught with painful bloody callosities. Surely there has to be also a pereobuvka for halts — sports sandals or bedroom-slippers that legs could have a rest.
- Clothes. From warm clothes it is better to take clothes from natural wool or fleece. T-shirts and trousers — from cotton. Good option — trousers with the trouser-legs which are coming unfastened around knees which the easy movement of a hand turn into shorts. It is not obligatory to buy expensive clothes in sports shop. In second-hands, for example, natural cotton and fleece things which are not a pity for soiling or tearing are on sale.
- First-aid kit. What drugs to take in a campaign? From muscle pain, from food poisoning, from an allergy, iodine or brilliant green and there is a lot of bactericidal plaster.
What products to take in a campaign?
Give preference to the easiest on weight. It is not obligatory to bear with itself several kilogram of potato — to buy enough packing of easy dry mashed potatoes which get divorced water; several loaves of bread can be replaced with bags of dietary small loafs. Making the list what I go to take in a campaign, do not forget powdered milk and grain for porridge (at the rate of 100 g of grain for 1 portion), stewed meat in a can, sugar and salt (the last is forgotten very often), tea, cookies and candies or chocolate. And in general, this matter of taste. The main thing that food was not perishable.
If you take alcohol in a campaign, then it is better to pour it in a plastic bottle. It, first, easier, secondly, does not fight, thirdly, is utilized more simply.
What to take in a campaign to the "severe" tourist?
Among inveterate tourists there are so-called "severe" - people who literally live in campaigns and prefer to be content with small. At them it is possible to gather the interesting ideas how it is possible to reduce backpack weight.
So, for example, skilled tourists reduce equipment, necessary for a campaign, to the karimat, expensive warm sleeping bag, the good crushed footwear, a minimum of food and a favourite knife or the axe. The tent is not necessary to them, in a good sleeping bag it is possible to spend night even on snow, and in case of snowfall or a rain — to be covered with a piece of polyethylene. The role of a marching kettle and a mug is often carried out by the metal tin which is cut off to the middle from under beer or sparkling water; the wooden spoon is turned on a halt from a tree knot.
Thus, be not fond of quantity of things, pay attention to their practicality, all superfluous that you will take, it is necessary to bear on own shoulders.
