We say, there is no bad weather, only wrong dressed tourist. In nice weather is nice everywhere. Even fog, rain, frost can rise the beauty of nature scenery… but dressed in warm comfort, not trembling with cold. We need to be prepared for different weather conditions. The best is to think about that when we are getting ready for our trip – it is too late to think about it when is raining already. So what to pack to our backpack for the best delight?
First of all the right choice of backpack is important. If we decide to walk for half day trip, we do not need to carry our staff in 50 litres pack. On the other hand to pack oneself for four days ridge trip to 30 litres backpack can do either fool or very experienced tourist. For above mentioned short one trip can be your pack just borrowed. For day long trip you need to have your backpack already tested and perfectly fit to your shape of body.
What to put inside:
The clothes:
Always take one layer more, than you think you might need. The cap form sheer fabric and fleece gloves weight almost nothing. It is better to pack more thin clothes, than one thick cumbrous parka.
First aid kit:
- Pack your regular medication. Might be important to inform your fellow wanderers, in which case you need some medicine and where they can find it.
- Painkillers, medication to lover fever
- Antiseptic geland wound dressing
- High quality plasters (not only) for pressure sore
- Elastic and crepe bandages

Others:
