1. Suitable backpack trekking
Backpacks are the most important items on the journey, you need to choose a type with a capacity suitable for travel time. Design with hip straps and power cords helps distribute weight, reducing pressure on shoulders and back when traveling long distances.
2. Water and water purifiers
When trekking, it can be easy to lose water when exercising continuously, especially in hot sunny conditions. In addition to carrying enough water, water filters or water purifiers will help treat natural water sources, avoiding the risk of infection.
3. Energy-rich foods
Foods such as nuts, energy bars, and dried foods provide fast energy, are easy to carry and do not require processing. These are important "support" sources to help maintain fitness throughout the journey.
4. Map, compass or GPS
Even with a phone, traditional positioning devices are still necessary in case of signal loss or battery drain. Directional identification helps limit the risk of getting lost, so these are indispensable items on the journey.
5. First aid kit
Trekking poses many risks such as scratches, sprains, insect bites... Therefore, preparing a basic first aid kit will help handle these situations promptly, avoiding serious complications.
6. Weather-appropriate clothing
The prepared clothing should prioritize quick-drying, breathable, waterproof and warm-retaining materials.
Shoes when trekking need to have good grip to limit slipping on complex terrain.
7. Flashlight
Light is a vital factor when moving in the forest or in dark conditions.
You should prepare a suitable, compact flashlight to carry on a trekking trip.
8. Multi-purpose tools
Prepare a small knife or multi-purpose tool that can assist in many cases such as cutting wires, repairing things, preparing food or handling emergencies...
9. Sunscreen and insect repellent
Trekking often takes place outdoors for a long time, easily causing sunburn or being bitten by insects. Skin protection helps reduce the risk of irritation and related diseases.
10. Tents, sleeping bags (if traveling for long days)
For the overnight journey, tents and sleeping bags ensure a safe resting place, keep the body warm and restore physical strength for the next leg.
