What are the necessary materials for trekking? The primary material in trekking is clothing. This is because the most important thing in hiking is body health. Comfortable and spacious clothing materials that will not disrupt body health are required.
1. Orthopedic walking shoes that hold the foot and the ground well for walking. (Boots should be chosen according to the season)
2. Water (we offer it). Be cautious if you consume too much water. Water is the most important source of energy in nature.
3. First aid kit (We have one, you should have one too). It will be very useful for simple injuries.
4. Forehead (head) or flashlight. This is essential for orientation when it suddenly gets dark or foggy.
5. Whistle. Essential for making yourself heard in case you get lost.
6. Pocket knife. Always useful.
7. Compass (big or small). Necessary to keep your bearings.
8. Hat. Necessary in summer/winter. It protects against the sun.
9. Fire starting material. It may be necessary to start a fire in emergencies.
10. Windbreaker or raincoat. Provides protection against sudden rains, the best is a poncho.
11. Backpack. A 35 Lt bag is recommended for summer and a 40+ Lt bag for winter. Side pockets should be suitable for a water bottle.
12. Baton. Reduces fatigue by evenly distributing the load on the body, especially recommended for long walks.
13. Sunglasses. Protects the eyes under sun or snow.
