TIP 1: HOW TO PICK
Gather all the things you plan to bring, put them in a room, and imagine them all in your bag. Wow, the first rule can be implemented at this time: don’t bring anything you don’t know whether to bring or not. This way your bag will be more compact.
Tips 2: How to pack
Put light equipment on the bottom and heavy equipment on top. Because anyone leans forward slightly when walking, this puts the weight on your hips rather than your shoulders. On the bottom you can put your sleeping bag (the sleeping bag has a sleeping bag cover, or you can wrap it in plastic to prevent it from getting wet in case you fall in the water or your canoe gets wet). Then there are the clothes you don’t use that day: underwear and socks, eiderdown, etc. Next is your sleeping pad, which should be placed inside and not strapped to the outside. Then there’s your tent and rain cover. Then there are cookout supplies: stove, oil, pot, cups and spoons, water filter and first aid kit. Then — near the top — your food. Bad weather clothing is on top. Finally tighten the pocket string.
Tip 3: Make the bag thin and tall
not short and thick. That’s what those backpack straps are for – tie them up, compress them with your knees (don’t break the contents of course) Packing
Tip 4: Avoid dangling objects
When you walk, the wiggle of these things drains your energy. What about those cute little bags that attach to your belt
and shoulder straps? In fact, they are a heavy burden. When you need sunscreen and film, it doesn’t take you much time to get them out of the upper pocket of your pack. The only exception is chili water spray. It should be within your reach.
Tip 5: Keep all your groceries in a waterproof bag
You don??t have to mess around when you hide your supplements away from animals at night Find these odds and ends. As for lunch and snacks, wrap them in plastic bags and put them in grocery bags so they can be easily taken out during breaks.
Tip 6: Keep your water bottle in your bag and don’t hang it on your butt, it will get hot from the sun.
Tip 7: Insect repellant
Spray some on your back and some exposed areas of your body. During mosquito-infested seasons, you can also spray some on your socks and the bottom of your trousers, as these little bugs will come to you from shorter plants rather than trees. Spray some on the backs of your hands instead of your palms, and rub on your face. As weird as it sounds, it keeps pests out of your eyes. Also spray some under the brim of your hat.
Arrival
Tip 8: Relax From But Have a Rhythm own walking speed.
Tip 9: Arrive Early
Wherever you go, be there by noon and find the campsite in time for everyone else to arrive. You have plenty of time to prop up the tent and dry the sleeping bag before going to bed. You can take a short nap, walk around, explore around, or take a cup of tea and enjoy the pleasant scenery in front of you.
Tips 10: Keep everyone together
Tips 11: When you’re tired, you’re hungry and thirsty at the same time, so when you’re resting, you need to replenish food and Moisture (be happy, of course). Don’t do this when your body reacts unwell.
Three emergencies
Tip 12: Don’t drink tea at night, most teas, caffeinated or not, will get you up at night to pee.
Trick 13: Use a urinal.
TIP 14: Pack used paper in a zippered bag.
People are in a hurry, it’s best to wrap your excrement in old paper and put it in a zippered bag, and then dump it out at the next garbage disposal site (fire point or simple hut) , rather than burying in situ. Animals love to dig up human feces (ah, um, um) and get paper all over the place.
Tips 15: Is it really necessary to have a campfire
I’m not very healthy. And it is best not to make a bonfire in the wild. Because if we don’t make a fire, the wood is enough to support some organic organisms, and they are food for some higher organisms in the biological chain. To start a fire you have to gather wood, build a fire, smoke yourself to tears, and finally go to sleep smelling of smoke. But if you’re cold and wet, it’s necessary to start a fire. Or when there is something important to discuss that night, everyone can sit around the fire. (continued)
Trick 16: Have GPS? where are you? How far have you gone? How fast are you walking? Where did you pass by? When is it getting dark? Similar question GPS is more useful than compass.
Tips 17: Where to buy maps? Large bookstores and professional bookstores, and can be found online

Tip 19: Check Data When your GPS accepts a map, don’t forget to set the map.
Trick 20: Throw the bear bell, and the bear can hear the bell from farther than you think. Use shouting as much as possible instead of constant bells.
Tip 21: Contact Lenses
I used to wear glasses all the time when I traveled and had to endure frames, friction and fog. No more now, there are contact lenses that can last up to three months without replacement.
Tips 22: You don’t need
toothpaste (but you will need a toothbrush and silk.)

p>
A towel (air-dried is fine)
Folding lunch box and mirror
Diet
Tips 23: Snacks and lunch
High energy bar, beef jerky, cheese, biscuits, dried fruit, cheese, steamed bread, jam, peanut oil, candy bar. No sardines and cans. They get dirty easily. No need to bring honey either.
Tips 24: Dinner
Quick soup and noodles, and some dried foods. It’s all packaged and no-cook foods. Pay attention when pouring water, pour more water than the instructions, because these things consume a lot of water. These foods have vegetables in their ingredients, are easy to carry, and don’t go bad for a long time. Remember: a double serving of dried food can only solve one person’s hunger problem.
Tips 25: Eat beans and rice for breakfast
Put instant black bean or black pinto bean flakes in a cup, mix with the same amount of instant rice, and use a small plastic bottle with some salad and a few pieces of cheese. Top with some more tortilla chips. This makes for a very tasty breakfast. It will provide you with enough calories for the next few hours.

My pot is only used to boil water, and then pour it into instant soups, beans and rice, hot chocolate, etc.: this works Reduce oil consumption, and do not need to wash after drinking.

Tips 28: Use a Gas Furnace
Tips 29: Go back to the old way: If you find a trail you like, go back to the old way from time to time, or it’s easy to get lost.
Sleep
Trick 30: Find a good place: Because it’s hard to fall asleep in the wild or at high altitudes, one way is to take more A little sleeping pill.
Tips 31: Wear a warm hat: Even if I’m not bald, I wear it. It also helps to wear a pair of thin gloves.
Tip 32: Wear earplugs: The sounds in the wild can make it hard to fall asleep, and there may be other people’s snoring, so you may wish to wear earplugs.
Tips 33: The best campsites
a, flat and dry
b, close to streams or lakes. This makes it easier to get water.
c, must be much higher than the water level, so that the water level rises in the middle of the night.
d, in the woods. This not only can block the wind, but also has a place to tie a rain cover, but don’t choose a tree that is dead and fall down to prevent it from falling.
e. There is a certain distance between the tents to avoid being disturbed by the sound of others
f. There is a toilet nearby, which is convenient and hygienic

Tips 34: What a group of 4 needs for seven days
1 stove, 6 stove racks, 2 pots, 1 tarpaulin, 1 water filter , 1 water bag, 1 geological topographic map, 1 multi-tool, 1 first aid kit, 1 natural history book, 1 outdoor book, 1 GPS, 1 compass, 2 ropes for hanging food, 1 A shovel for digging a simple ditch.

1 whistle, 1 Swiss army knife, lighter, headlight, food, water, brimmed hat, sunscreen, sunglasses , small first aid kit, handkerchief (for wiping items and as a dressing), inclement weather clothes, medicine (don’t rely on others), toilet paper.
Trick 36: How about a compass? Bring one if you like, but not many people know how to use it properly.
Tip 37: Umbrellas: This British habit is still useful when it’s drizzling. You can buy the small one that sticks on the bag, which keeps your bag from getting wet and leaves your hands free. (Personally recommend bringing a raincoat instead of an umbrella)
TIP 38: Spend as much money as possible on your tent: You get what you pay for. Remember a famous explorer saying: In the mountains, the best is just right.
Tips 39: Open the tent door at night
Closing the tent door will not only cause water to form in the tent, but also water droplets on the sleeping bag. So bring a sleeping bag that can block 0 degrees in summer. Then keep the air circulating, and of course pull on the textured tent. (Especially in the mountains)
TIP 40: Bring a tarpaulin
I always bring a 7×9 inch tarpaulin. Tie a 12-inch rope (four in total) to each buckle and tie a 30-inch rope to the middle of the tree as a tent ridge.
Tips 41: How to dress
Dress wisely
1. A soft nylon T-shirt that feels like cotton but is more comfortable;
2. POLYPRO underwear that doesn’t stink
3. Pants with a zipper in the middle
4. Waterproof pants with a zipper on the bottom to cover your shoes
5. Women’s sports tops (for women)
6. Fleece jacket
7?? Hat with rope
8. Waterproof shoes
Tips 42: Clumsy wearing
1. Denim jacket (horrible when wet)
2. Smelly underwear
3. Any tights
4. Pants with tight cuffs – good for rock climbing, but not for hiking.
Tips 43: Rain gear
A thick fleece jacket is useful. When it rains, I always put on a velvet jack, and if it’s a torrential rain, I’ll put on a duffel coat, of course I sweat, but the velvet wicks away and I can stay warm.
Tips 44: Gore-Tex Socks: Put a pair of waterproof socks over your regular socks to keep your feet out of the water
Tips 45: Handle, boil or Filtration
Many harmful organisms are killed when you boil water. So you don’t need to filter it specially before using it, and you don’t need to let the water boil for five minutes. Personally I use filtered water rather than chemically treated water, although chemically treated water is better and reduces the weight of the filter.
Tip 46: Use a water bag to fetch water from a creek instead of a kettle. A good hydration bag is light enough to hold 10-20 liters of water.
TIP 47: If you have to wash with water in the field, bring the water to the camp instead of taking things into the water for washing. In the same way, you should wash your face, rinse your teeth and take a bath. {We should pay attention to this, so as to avoid contaminating the entire water source. If we use it on shore, the water will seep into the ground, it will filter naturally, and it will be much cleaner when it joins in the water}
When you find a perfect spot
Tip 48: Make it a camp
Wake up in the morning and spread out yesterday’s clothes and sleeping bags, then go out, and when you get back you can be good
Tips 49: No kids
Tips 50: Think about everything
Think about how much time you spend indoors, in a seasonless office, at the phone, in front of the computer. Then think about how long you’ve been away from them. So spend half an hour or an hour a day enjoying what you’ve worked hard for. Stay comfortably in a place of infinite beauty, and as a famous Canadian naturalist said: sit quietly in the natural world and forget you are there, and you will see, hear and feel something soothing. You are amazed and happy. That’s when you know you’re home.
