A Beginner's Guide to Hiking

Article Category: Recreation

Author Name: Kellie

Hiking is a fun and exciting activity that can be done by just about anyone. Not only are you communing with nature you're also getting some exercise at the same time. If you're someone who's interested in pursuing this kind of activity but don't have much experience trekking, you'll require the right pieces of equipment to ensure that your very first hike will be a very enjoyable, and most importantly, a safe experience. To give you an idea on what equipment you'd need, here are a few tips on choosing the right equipment.

The most important piece of equipment you need to have is a good pair of boots. When choosing boots, you should look for ones that give good arch and ankle support, and also provides good traction . Depending on what kind of hiking trip you'll be going on, you should get the appropriate kind of boot. For example, if you're just going on a light daytime stroll in the woods, a boot that goes just up to the ankles will do. If you're planning a relatively longer trip that might even include you having to camp out, a high-cut pair of boots that are made from tough, waterproof materials are best. But the most important thing when selecting boots is that they have to fit your feet comfortably in order to prevent injuries.

Next are your clothes, you should choose clothes that are appropriate to the climate conditions and the terrain where you'll be going. You'll need a good pair of hiking pants, preferably something made of breathable cotton. Jeans aren't advisable since denim is a heavy material, and you'll also chaff easily when wearing jeans. Pants are recommended rather than shorts, even if it's warm outside, so that your legs are protected from scratches and insect bites. Long-sleeved cotton shirts are also recommended, as well as a brimmed hat to protect you from the sun.

Aside from clothes, there are also some essential accessories that you will also need to bring on your trip. It's important that you have an ergonomic backpack; this is so you have something you can put your food, maps, compass, and other items you will need for your trip. If you're planning on trekking on rocky terrain, you might want to have your own collapsible walking stick instead of using driftwood you might come across. And lastly, you need a good sized water jug. You should always bring more water than you think you will need. Hiking is a strenuous activity; you'll be surprised at how much sweat your body will produce. And to prevent dehydration, you need to keep your body hydrated by drinking lots of water.

And one last thing before you go, you should have a companion come with you. Not only will your trip be much safer, it will be more enjoyable if you have someone to talk to when you're trekking. And also inform the people at home when they should expect you to come back, just in case something happens. Remember, Safety first.
