What to take to the sea with a tent list. Tips for beginners for a comfortable outdoor recreation. What to take with you

To have a good camping holiday, you need to be well prepared.

There may be a lot of vacation options, but if you want to get away from civilization and test your character, choose a “savage” vacation, i.e. outdoor recreation with tents.

This is not to say that living in a tent camp will help you save a lot during your vacation. Quite the contrary: high-quality tents, food, equipment and other necessary things, as well as comfortable clothes can cost you much more than living in a rented house or even a middle-class hotel.

In any case, to prevent camping from turning into survival, you need to consider several points.

What to take with you

Samu tent, which must be checked before departure for the integrity and serviceability of all snakes, fasteners, day tightness, etc. Roll it up into a case and pack it carefully;
First aid kit. You must have everything you need for a holiday in the chosen area. You will find a more complete list in this article;
Travel kit(kettles, cereals, matches, paper, salt, ropes, pegs, bedding and much more), as well as only the most necessary things. Don’t take anything that’s unnecessary or heavy; it will get in the way on the road and won’t be useful on vacation;
Sleeping bag, mattress, bed mats, warm clothes for the night, bedding and bedspread;
Dishes: a pot, a saucepan, a frying pan, a metal mug and sets of disposable tableware, which should be enough for the duration of the trip. Don't forget a few bags for the trash that you will throw away upon your return, so as not to pollute the parking area;
Insect repellents. No matter where you vacation, mosquitoes and spider bugs are a constant. Take care of this, because depending on where you are staying, you may also encounter poisonous representatives of the insect world.

Provisions

Remember that you will not have the proper conditions for storing prepared and perishable foods, especially if you are traveling for a couple of weeks or even more.
First of all, choose products that are hermetically sealed, have a long shelf life, and can easily survive transportation and storage in outdoor conditions.
Cookies, dry soups, canned food, dried and dried foods can be prepared in a pot and stored comfortably.
Cereals and potatoes are a must.
If you take vegetables, it is better to pre-cut them and dry them, then you can prepare a healthy and flavorful soup or broth without any problems.
Tea, coffee, sugar, salt, spices, sunflower oil will not spoil even in the sun.
The main thing is not to forget about drinking water. Its quantity and free access are vital!

Cloth

First of all, it must match the season and the area you are going to. Even in the hottest regions it can be very cold at night, especially in the mountains and at sea. So consider having long sleeves that will protect you from the cold, insects, rain and heat.

You should have practical shoes, light, comfortable, but with thick soles, so that you can comfortably walk over rocks, roots, and marshy areas without fear of hurting your feet or catching a cold.

Place

A lot depends on the location of the future tent camp. If you do not have experience in such a vacation, it is better to find out the places of mass parking and tent camps. There they will always help you if something happens or you forgot some important thing. And it’s much more fun to relax together; there will be someone to look after things.

When choosing a place for self-camping, consider:

Do not place tents in the sun;
Choose a place away from mountain falls and dangerous landscapes;
The tent must be reliably protected from thunderstorms and lightning and located in a safe place;
The proximity of trees and brushwood collection sites is very important, otherwise setting up fires for heating, cooking and repelling insects will be problematic. Don't forget that starting a fire and maintaining it are equally important when hiking. Don't cause a massive fire!
In very hot weather and/or strong winds, it is better to avoid fires altogether. Consider a small gas burner and fire safety equipment. Do not leave the fire unattended at night!
Plan your parking lot next to water sources, preferably several: to collect clean drinking water, to do laundry, to swim and bathe;
Find out before leaving whether there are any wild animals, poisonous insects and reptiles in this place, or environmentally unfavorable areas.
No matter how far you climb with a tent, mobile communications should be available EVERYWHERE AND ALWAYS, and you should be able to get to civilization in less than an hour, in case of an emergency.

Every resident of a large city should have a weekend in nature at least once a year. Thoughts about this come to us especially often in hot weather, when, sitting in a stuffy room, in a stream of barely perceptible pseudo-wind from three fans, you look out the window and begin to dream... For example, that these stone candles of houses suddenly begin to melt and turn into lead-colored puddles before your eyes. Then space will instantly open up for streams of fresh air; not distorted by a thousandfold reflection of the sun's rays and icy streams glittering with silver tints. And through the gray mass right under the heels, ticklish greenery will begin to appear. Everything will return to normal, and the body and soul will finally feel harmony...

Dreaming, as they say, is not harmful, but nature is unlikely to reach a high-rise building in the center of a metropolis. But we can go and visit her! The main thing is to hurry, but not too much: we advise you to carefully prepare for the trip, because a couple of “mega-important” things forgotten in a hurry can too quickly remind you that in fact we are pampered by civilization, unable to survive in any wild conditions, having forgotten all our skills ancestors of the little people. Even though they are still capable of dreaming about the present.

So, let's get started?

What things do we take on an overnight camping trip:

· Tent: it is better to get a reliable one, not a single layer or a single one, to protect yourself from cold, moisture, insects and overcrowding.

· Tent: if it starts to rain, you can continue your gatherings under the canopy, rather than ruin the end of the evening by hiding in a tent with seven of you.

· Sleeping bag: it is better than an air mattress (by the way, it can itself be inflatable) because it warms and because it does not require regular inflation.

· A warm blanket, pillow and blanket: useful when you don’t have a sleeping bag and for wrapping yourself up if it suddenly gets cold at night.

· Knives: take several and don’t take them all out at once, as cutlery tends to get lost in thick grass, hollow trees, barbecues and other unexpected places.

· Openers: a knife is also suitable for opening canned food, and a nail is suitable for bottles of wine, however, not everyone knows how or wants to tinker with improvised materials. So we advise you to take a bottle opener and a corkscrew with you (by the way, both can be included in sets like “fork-spoon-knife-opener-corkscrew”).

· Cutting boards: lightweight plastic ones are ideal. Take a couple or three, and you won’t be the only one involved in cooking, which will greatly speed up the process of serving the meadow.

· Dishes: we recommend purchasing a set of disposable cutlery. You can also take plastic ones (from special camping kits), but you won’t be able to throw them away and will have to constantly wash them, which in some cases can be problematic. Having taken the basics: plates, glasses, forks, spoons, they often forget about the common containers in which they will knead salads, where they will put kebabs, sandwiches and other edibles.

If your plans include cooking the best camp soup or porridge from an ax, then take a pot or bowl with you. An old iron kettle will not hurt either, as it will not be afraid of the soot from the fire and will constantly treat everyone who wants to have tea or coffee with boiling water.

· Brazier: folding - the most successful option for car owners (because this is only the very beginning of the list!). And it is better than bricks, stones and other makeshift, so to speak, devices, because it is able to interact with both skewers and grates without falling apart or staining the food.

· Skewers and grates: if you can still do without a barbecue, having thought about it and asking for advice from Google, where everything is always OK (the same bricks and stones, in extreme cases, will probably be found nearby), then the idea of skewering meat on wooden sticks is unlikely to anyone I'll like it.

· Wood or charcoal: meat-cooking pros will tell you that the best kebabs come out of charcoal produced personally by burning real wood. But the packaged one is obtained from the store faster and can perform its duties almost immediately after ignition. By the way, be sure to take firewood or ready-made coal (whatever you like), because there may be a downpour in the forest just before your arrival, and all the dead wood will be damp, suitable only for a fire - and not for warming, but to repel mosquitoes with the smoke emitted.

· Lighters, matches, lighter fluid, paper or birch bark for starting a fire.

· Metal kitchen tongs, a fork or a spatula are the best weapons for dealing with meat and vegetables sizzling over the fire: they won’t let you get close, so you can get by with a regular (let alone a disposable) fork, but be prepared to get burned.

· Axe: with this tool you will feel like the ruler of the forest, just don’t swing it left and right, but use it strictly for its intended purpose - to make the firewood look slender. Don’t think that once you grab coal you can forget about the axe: more than one barbecue requires raw materials. For example, tent pegs may get lost or broken, and you might have to chop branches for a fire.

· Bedspreads, rugs, tablecloths - this is what you will use as a table and bedding for sitting and lying.

· Camping furniture: In general, soft grass under a blanket can easily replace folding tables and chairs. But if you already have them and are just cluttering the pantry, then why not take these amenities with you. This way you will create the greatest possible comfort in wild conditions.

· Kitchen towels, napkins: paper, in rolls.

· Process water: needed for washing hands, dishes, vegetables and fruits. Take as much of it as possible, especially if you plan to set up camp in a place far from water bodies.

· Garbage bags: take durable and capacious ones, so as not to be afraid of getting the trunk of your car dirty when you carry waste back to the nearest landfill.

· Wet wipes, toilet paper, soap, toothpaste, brush - things that go without saying, and therefore are most often forgotten.

· Mirror and comb: do not instruct men to put away such items - they, with their seasonal, summer baldness, will decide that you won’t scare anyone in the forest with shaggy hair, and will forget to think about them. But the girls will be sad when they arrive home to discard all the photos from their vacation.

· Beach towel: you can’t do without one on a lake or river in the summer.

· Entertainment: a ball, cards, badminton, fishing rods will not allow you to get bored on the Internet in nature; simple but exciting board games (like Jenga); guitar, harmonica, or even a button accordion. By the way, to have a party outdoors, you can take a portable speaker with you. There are models with a high degree of protection against water and dust. They connect via bluetooth to a smartphone, and therefore it is worth taking care of a charger for it.

· A camera or smartphone with a high-quality camera.

· An air mattress, a circle, a bun - you can swim with them endlessly. Children are especially interested in such things.

· By the way, toys for children: if you don’t give your offspring an exciting activity, they themselves can very quickly get bored and start asking to go home - this is what you still lacked in the emerald paradise. So don’t forget to think about children’s leisure time. You can dilute the water procedures by flying a kite, jumping rope competitions and hula hoop twirlers. For a short time, the children's attention will be captured by soap bubbles and drawing supplies. Buckets, spatulas and molds are needed for very little games. If there are a lot of little ones, then give them a fun start, give them the task of making Leshy costumes from eco-friendly materials, and start building sand castles on the shore, if there is one suitable.

The listed items must be taken in such quantity that there is enough for all members of the team going on a weekend tour. Whenever possible, it doesn't hurt to bring an extra set of bedding with you in case someone gets especially cold or a friend suddenly decides to join the company at the last minute.

What clothes do we take for an overnight camping trip?

It would be wise to check the weather forecast for the weekend you plan to escape the city. Based on weather forecasters' data, choose your wardrobe. Just remember that even the most cloudless sky can suddenly (without the permission of meteorologists) burst into a hundred-year downpour, and the blazing sun will suddenly break through the hopeless lead clouds. In any case, during your little trip you will probably need:

· Shorts and a T-shirt: essential in hot weather for both boys and girls. For the latter, however, sundresses and light dresses made of chintz are suitable, but they are unlikely to be comfortable for playing ball, fooling around with children, wandering through the forest in search of berries, mushrooms or firewood, or jumping over a fire (something absolutely sober people wouldn’t think of doing! ) and so on.

· Comfortable shoes: on a clear day you can wear flip-flops or barefoot, but for the evening it’s better to stock up on old, favorite sneakers - they’re warm and don’t keep flies from biting.

· Swimsuits and swimming trunks can also be taken to places where swimming is impossible due to the lack of a body of water, because no one forbids sunbathing in a cozy forest clearing.

· Headgear: a cap, hat, Panama hat, scarf will protect your head from sunstroke. Dress children especially carefully.

· Sunglasses.

· Light pants and a jacket: in the evening you will be glad to climb into them and hide your body from annoying insects.

· Socks: Even in July, it can get very cold when it rains or at night.

· Warm jacket, hoodie or jacket with a light hat: the same need as in the previous paragraph.

· Raincoat (although if there is an awning, it will not be useful).

We advise our beloved fashionistas and fashionistas to leave their Louboutins and amazing pants at home, and dress up for the forest, lake or river in simple things that you don’t mind getting dirty, soaked, burned or torn. It’s better to laugh at your appearance than to cry about wasted money and ruined branded clothing.

What food do we take on camping trips overnight:

· Drinking water: even if you prefer to quench your thirst with juices, compotes, fruit drinks, beer and champagne, be sure to take plain, still drinking water along with them on your trip. Sugary and bubbly drinks do not provide much relief from the heat, and they are not healthy at all.

By the way, a hiking life hack: you can freeze bottles of water and other liquids and use them to put perishable foods in them - this will extend the life of the latter by at least half a day.

· Tea and coffee bags will warm your body and soul on a cold evening.

· Salt: A good old matchbox will do.

· Sugar: it will be more convenient in cubes.

· Spices, sauces, vegetable oil, vinegar and everything that you are going to add to salads, with which you prefer to eat kebabs and other dishes.

· Vegetables and herbs: they fly off the table well fresh and even uncut, while those cooked on the grill and as part of sandwiches completely fly away with a bang. We advise you to wash them at home, so as not to have to do this on the spot, in “inhuman” conditions.

· Fruits are the best, lightest and healthiest of desserts. Chocolate, cakes and cookies, especially those with cream filling, are best left at home.

· Take bread, lavash, loaf already sliced - spend the saved time on relaxation.

· Meat, chicken, fish: traditionally, kebab is marinated at home, but outdoors it is only fried. Fish, in general, does not require long-term simmering in spices, so you can prepare it for meeting the coals right on the spot. True, the product must be transported extremely carefully: in hot weather there is a high probability that it will deteriorate. To prevent this from happening, before leaving, roll the fish thoroughly in salt and place it in a bag next to something especially cold.

· Sausage and frankfurters are perishable products. Take those sold in vacuum packages. First of all, sausages can be fried over coals, and sausage can be eaten as part of sandwiches.

· We advise you not to take milk, yogurt, cottage cheese and other related products in the summer or eat them on the way to nature. If you really want it, then at least take cheese: it is unlikely to spoil, although it may change its consistency to a softer and more fluid one. Choose hard varieties.

· Canned food: avid hikers cannot imagine an outdoor picnic without stew and fish from a tin. Why not. Sprats are often used in making sandwiches. We won't say anything about fat content. The main thing is not to eat in the evening from a jar that was opened in the morning.

· Potatoes for liver: whoever knows, will understand.

· Chips, crackers, seeds: unhealthy snacks, as usual, are always very tasty. Don't take all this with you if you strive for a healthy lifestyle. Better stick with a cocktail of nuts and dried fruits.

We recommend mixing salads and sandwiches immediately before eating: if you season them with sauces (especially sour cream and mayonnaise) at home, they will give off juice, as a result of which they will become tasteless. It will only be worse if they completely deteriorate during a long journey. But you can start making preparations and cuts even before leaving. Use cling film and vacuum bags.

You can transport edibles in bags, or better yet, in a basket: this way the appearance of the products will not deteriorate, they will not be crushed and will not release juice. It’s good if you have a cooler bag, which will save you from many problems: you’ll get your food safely and securely, and you’ll be able to save open jars on the spot.

First aid kit:

Even particularly attentive and cautious citizens would do well to take with them medications and first aid supplies in case of basic injuries and illnesses:

· Iodine, brilliant green, fucorcin or hydrogen peroxide solution to disinfect abrasions and scratches.

· Antiseptic wipes, bandages and plasters: will help with calluses, bruises, and stab wounds.

· Citramon, pentalgin, nurofen or any other pain reliever.

· Activated carbon, smecta – to relieve symptoms of poisoning.

· Ointments, sprays and bracelets against insects, including ticks (especially if the trip is planned for May-June).

· Sun creams.

***

Well, that's all. The list may change depending on the number of travelers and their preferences. It is better to discuss it with friends and family and make adjustments. And even if you forget or spoil something, remember: a successful vacation is one that gave pleasure and was remembered by pleasant impressions!

P.s. Do not drink alcohol in excess and take your trash with you.

P.s.s. May good weather be with you!

Outdoor recreation is necessary for every resident of the metropolis. In order to make it as comfortable as possible, you should think in advance about what things you should take with you on a hike or trip.

Sleeping bag and tent. If you are not extreme sports enthusiasts, then of course you will need a warm shelter from the coolness of the night and rain.
Warm blankets and warm clothes.
Phone with GPS.
Waterproof shoes.
Insect repellent, sunscreen. If the picnic takes place at the end of May, beginning of June, it is worth taking a tick repellent, since there are especially many of them in the forest at this time.
Knives. It’s worth taking not just one, but several.
opener. If you plan to drink wine, you'll also need a corkscrew.
Cutting board. It would be good if it was light and plastic. You can even take several, then cooking will go much faster.
Dishes. For a picnic, a disposable one is best; you can also take a plastic one, but keep in mind that you will also have to wash it later. Don't forget cups, forks, spoons, bowls for salads, kebabs, etc., they can be either plastic or iron. If you plan to cook fish soup or porridge, you should also take a pot.
Iron tongs, fork, spatula. You will need them if you cook vegetables or meat on the grill or grill.
Brazier. It would be better if it was foldable. If you have a barbecue, you don’t have to look for any frying equipment on site. It is convenient to place both grids and skewers on it, so you can cook any dishes on coals without any problems.
Nets, skewers.
Lighters, matches, lighter fluid, paper for starting a fire.
Firewood or coal. Take them only if you will be vacationing in an area where it is difficult to find dry branches or it rained heavily the other day (then you simply will not be able to find dry firewood).
Hatchet. It is needed for chopping wood. If you are using coal, you will not need this tool.
Bedspreads, rugs.
Disposable tablecloths.
Towels, napkins.
Folding furniture. Of course, you can completely do without folding chairs and a table, but if you have them and have the opportunity to take them with you, be sure to take them. With such furniture your stay will be as comfortable as possible.
Process water. It is worth taking more of it, especially if there is no body of water nearby.
Wet wipes, toilet paper, soap, girls could use a mirror and a comb.
Beach towel. You will need it if you are planning a vacation near the water.
Swimwear, swimming trunks. They can be useful not only for relaxing by the water, but also for sunbathing, for example, in a forest clearing.
Things for fun. To make a summer picnic in nature as interesting and fun as possible, you should take care of entertainment. For this, a ball, cards, rackets, guitar, radio or battery-powered tape recorder, fishing rods, camera, air mattress, etc. may be useful.
Toys for children. To prevent children from getting bored and asking to go home, it is worth thinking about their leisure time. For them you can take a kite, jump ropes, hoops, soap bubbles, buckets, shovels, molds, inflatable rings, coloring books, board games, etc.
Warm clothes. Outside the city, it can be quite cool in the evening.
Garbage bags.

Such things must be taken taking into account the number of people who are going to go out into nature all together. It would also be useful if the company took another supply of equipment for an overnight stay. Perhaps one of your friends will want to join the company unscheduled.

List of food items to take on an overnight camping trip

Drinking water, drinks. This could be mineral water, juices, compotes. It’s very good to freeze such drinks and use them to serve food, this will keep them fresh for as long as possible. You can also take a thermos with boiling water and tea or coffee bags in stickers.
Salt, sauces, spices, vegetable oil, vinegar, sugar. Salt is necessary in any case; sauces and spices are required for barbecue, vegetables, meat, salads, etc. Vinegar and oil are useful for dressing salads and preparing vegetables, and sugar for tea.

To prepare salads, you should take preparations. It will be possible to cut and mix them into a single whole while directly on site. If you make salads in advance, season them with a sauce based on mayonnaise or sour cream and take them with you outdoors, they may leak on the road, as a result of which they will become tasteless. They can also disappear if the road to the place of deployment is long.

The list of what to take on an overnight camping trip may vary depending on the preferences of vacationers and their number. Each of them has the right to make changes to the top things necessary for comfortable spending time outside the home.

Doctors on what you need to take on an overnight camping trip (video):

What to take on an overnight camping trip if you have to walk to the place of deployment?

If you have to get to nature on foot, you will have to take a limited set of things with you, since it is physically impossible to carry a large amount of all the utensils necessary for relaxation with you.

Plus, if such a walk is planned, all things necessary for relaxation should be divided among the whole company. Naturally, each participant in the outing will have to take a sleeping bag and blanket separately.

When going on a hike, especially a long one, tourists take a lot of things with them. However, carrying a heavy backpack for a long time, in the end, part of what you took turns out to be absolutely unnecessary, and extremely necessary things are simply forgotten at home. To prevent this from happening, you should prepare for your hike in advance and pack the essentials first.

To avoid having to figure out what you need to take with you for the trip a few hours before your trip, it is better to make a list of things by category and prepare them in advance. All the items you will need on your hike can be divided into the following categories:

Warm clothes and shoes;
Items for sleeping and relaxation. This category includes tents, camping mats and sleeping bags;
Camping tourist furniture;
Dishes;
First aid kit;
Hygiene items;
Special equipment.

Also, depending on the free space in your backpack or car, you can take items that are not essential items on a camping holiday.

Warm clothes and shoes

Warm clothes for camping with a tent are needed at any time of the year. For tourist travel in the cold season, its supply should be much larger than for the summer period. In this case, the bulk of clothing and shoes will be exclusively warm things.

For a summer hike, the following clothes and shoes will be useful:

Several sets of underwear. If the hike involves long-term parking and washing of things, then it is enough to have 3-4 sets with you;
Thermal underwear and thermal socks are average in warmth. Needed for cold weather and night rest;
Special hiking socks. Unlike ordinary ones, they retain heat well, do not get wet and do not squeeze the leg due to the absence of seams and elastic bands;
Windproof sweatpants. They will protect from wind, scratches from bushes, and mosquito bites. In addition, these pants are very light, do not restrict movement and dry quickly;
Fleece sweater or jacket. Clothing is lightweight and has the ability to warm and retain heat well;
Waterproof raincoat;
Windbreaker jacket. The fabric should be light, waterproof and windproof at the same time;
Headdress. It is best to use a bandana, baseball cap or Panama hat;
Warm hat, preferably woolen;
Shorts;
Several T-shirts with sleeves of different lengths;
Thermal T-shirt;
A set of clean, lightweight casual clothing. Women should not wear sundresses, dresses or skirts;
Gloves with and without fingers.
Swimwear.

During the hike, the tourist should have the following shoes:

Open light sandals. Needed for relaxation;
Thick boots with ankle support and thick soles. Such shoes should be soft on the inside and hard on the outside, made of leather or special materials.
Lightweight sneakers with stride cushioning.

The main rule when choosing clothing for a hike is its practicality, ease of wear, as well as the naturalness and durability of the materials. If extreme ascents or descents are involved, tourists should use only specialized shoes.

Travel mats and sleeping bags

The list of things for camping with a tent necessarily includes camping mats and sleeping bags. Tourists who have not been on overnight hikes often think that a tent is enough for a comfortable overnight stay. However, it is only a shelter from bad weather and is not able to fully protect against the cold.

For traveling in the off-season, it is better to take a winter sleeping bag with you on a hike, the weight of which is about 2 kg. For summer travel, a product weighing 1 kg is suitable. The choice of sleeping bag design, blanket or mummy, as well as its capacity, can be selected solely according to the personal preferences of the tourist.

A tourist rug, or karemat, is useful both during rest stops and for night rest, as an additional bedding for a sleeping bag. The main difference between the mats is their thickness. The most practical are the Izhevsk mats with a thickness of 8 mm. Self-inflating mats are not recommended as they tear easily on rocks and dry grass.

Camping – tourist furniture

The list of things for relaxing with a tent at sea or just in nature includes the following pieces of furniture:

Tent;
Folding stools, armchairs or chairs;
Folding tables.

A tent is a must for overnight camping trips. The capacity of the tent, as well as its density, are determined individually. It is only important that its weight when hiking does not exceed 2 kg. It is important that the tent is waterproof and also equipped with a ventilation window and a mosquito net.

Tents with trekking poles are lightweight and comfortable. In this case, poles are recommended to be used as additional support when hiking in the mountains.

It is recommended to take folding stools and chairs, as well as tables, only when traveling by car. For hiking, if necessary, you can take only a light folding chair or stool. However, these pieces of furniture most often turn out to be unnecessary.

Dishes

The dishes you take with you should be light, unbreakable, spacious and easy to clean. The basic set of dishes includes:

spoon;
Steel mug, volume from 300 ml. The optimal mug size is 600 ml.

A 2 liter plastic bottle is also useful on a hike. It is easy to attach to a backpack.

If you plan to cook food while camping, you will need the following utensils:

Bowler hat. Should be easy. The volume depends on the number of travelers. For a company of 3-5 people, a 4-liter pot is enough;
Bowls in the amount of 2 pieces;
A light, medium-sized frying pan.

Cast iron or plastic cookware is completely unsuitable for hiking. You should also not take forks with you.

When preparing a food package for a camping trip, it is important not to take with you any perishable foods or dishes that require strict temperature control. It is important to monitor the expiration dates of canned goods and eat them on opening day.

It’s one thing to go out into nature, be it fishing, hunting or just an overnight picnic. As a rule, transport is always at hand, and the problem of moving cargo is solved by itself. On a hike, everything is different - no one except the tourist will carry his luggage. Therefore, even at the packing stage, compiling a list of things is one of the main points.

Let’s figure out what you really should take with you on a hike, what you can save on, and what you can do without, depending on all the features of the hike, and we’ll make a list.

Things to consider

Experienced tourists prepare carefully. The list of necessary things is compiled based on an analysis of all the nuances of the hike.

Season.
Duration of stay in nature.
Difficulty of the hike. This applies to the relief, the climate of the area, and its changes depending on the time of day. Everything is taken into account - temperature changes, humidity, direction of prevailing winds, altitude above sea level.
Composition of the group. Not only the number of tourists is taken into account, but also their age category, and whether the participants in the trip belong to a certain gender. It is clear that a woman and a child will not be able to carry large things, especially heavy ones. Consequently, the main burden will fall on the shoulders of men, and in the literal sense.

Must-haves and accessories for a hike

Change of clothes. No synthetics - only natural materials. The same goes for socks. Otherwise, the hike will turn into hard labor due to constant sweating of the feet, quickly developing shortness of breath and general fatigue. Spare pair of shoes There will also be no extra items on the list of things, especially for long hikes. As you know, in uninhabited areas there is a “great shortage of shoemakers,” and DIY repairs will take a long time. And how long will it last?

Stock of underwear. In what quantity, everyone will decide for themselves. Backpack. Each group member should have one and is selected according to size, depending on age and physical development. About, . Sleeping bag. Even in the summer, when going on a hike, it is advisable that everyone has one. For some reason, many people believe that if you have a tent with you, then this attribute of a tourist can be neglected. But even the cheapest “sleeping bag” can level out uneven ground conditions and provide reliable thermal insulation. In addition, at night it will protect against various crawling, blood-sucking and so on, which one way or another will climb into the tent. Take it with you - definitely.

You can take, for example, a “Camp bag” sleeping bag, which is an “envelope” consisting of a blanket with a headrest. The weight is small - just over 1 kg, and the price is not too bad, ranging from 980 - 1,000 rubles. Dimensions (stowed position) – 250 x 350 mm. If adults think that they can do without it, then they should definitely take it for the child.

Those who are fundamentally opposed to all kinds of bags should pay attention to camping rugs. There are enough modifications of tourist models. The cost of the cheapest is about 375 rubles. At least in the future there will definitely be no problems with a cold back or aching joints. About, .

First aid kit. Its configuration should be given special attention. On a hike, you don’t have to rely on anyone’s help, only on yourself. Bandage, cotton wool, iodine, brilliant green, plaster, rubber tourniquet - all this should be included in the list. The reader will add the rest himself. In addition, antipyretics and pain relievers. Activated carbon, noshpa or smecta is a must, as stomach problems cannot be avoided on a hike. Especially children have dirty hands and so on. As for ointments, it is advisable to have a traditional “star”. Full .

Documents and a small amount of money. Many people don't think about this. But you never know what will happen on a hike, especially a long one. Therefore, at least one member of the group must have either a passport or any other document proving his identity. A must add to your packing list! Watch. You shouldn't rely on a gadget. How long will the battery last? And it’s unlikely that you’ll be able to charge it if this is really a hike, and not a banal “out of the countryside.” Swimwear. Even if there is no body of water nearby, no one will walk around the campsite in clothes, especially in the summer heat. Or shorts or swimming trunks. The well-known “family” is not an option. Although there are people who are quite happy with them. But how will your companions look at this, especially if the company includes people you don’t know well?

Things for a child

Rubber boots and replacement shoes. At least one pair.
Spare clothing – at least 2 sets. Insulated pants and a sweater for inclement weather should also be on your list of essentials.
Jacket and pants made of waterproof material. Options - raincoat, polyethylene cape.
Headdress.
Something from toys. The practice of organizing trips with children shows that one ball is enough for them. It is advisable to take an inflatable one. It won't take up much space among your things. A good option is “flying saucer” or badminton. The child will choose himself. But it should be immediately stipulated that he will have to carry it, since adults have enough things. Guaranteed that he will not take anything unnecessary on a hike.

List of tools and accessories

Hatchet.
Knife. .
Lighting device. Mostly tourists use flashlights. In this regard, LED models are preferable. They consume less energy than their traditional light bulb counterparts, which means batteries will have to be changed much less frequently. In addition, the beam is more focused and hits further. Options for dies, candles or other sources of open fire for a tent are unacceptable. The reason is clear.
Matches.
Dishes. What exactly is needed, everyone can determine for themselves. There are travel kits on sale that are lightweight and compact. It is better to focus on stainless steel cookware. It is easy to wash even with cold water, does not burn and does not deform during the hike. Cheap aluminum products will not last long, given the malleability of the metal. And the oxide film that gets on food is another minus, and an important one.

Additional to the list

When hiking over long distances, and even in unfamiliar terrain, you cannot do without special tourist equipment and various means.

Compass.
Map.
Navigator. Some consider it a luxury, but those who know how to use it and put it into practice have the opposite opinion. For a camping trip, a model costing no more than 9,000 rubles is enough. The only thing you need to do is to choose the device wisely (based on range, communication stability, and so on). This is a separate topic, but a navigator will definitely not be superfluous. It's impossible to get lost with him. To the list!
Remedy for “blood suckers”. It’s hardly worth relying on folk ones. First, many of them are used in the form of prepared formulations. When to do this on a hike? Secondly, the necessary herbs still need to be found. Will it work? And various perfumes, colognes, oils, if they help, do not last long - it has been tested.
Means for water disinfection. Your supplies won’t last long, especially if you have to cook frequently while camping. And how much can you take with you, considering how much you need to carry? There are various drugs on sale, so purchasing them will not be a problem. The main thing is to calculate their required quantity.
Anti-burn agents. Creams, lotions and the like.
Sunglasses. Including for children.
Personal hygiene products, towels. Everything is clear here, but you should pay attention to wet wipes. Kids will have to constantly dry their hands, and wasting water supplies on this is hardly the right decision.
Dry fuel. Inexperienced tourists often have difficulty starting a fire. The problem is even more complicated if there was precipitation the day before and there is no moss or sufficient paper nearby. Therefore, a small supply of “flammable” tablets is definitely worth adding to the list.
Detergents and sponge. You will have to wash the dishes after eating - there is no escape from this.
Inflatable basin. If the trip is planned for several days, then you can wash small things and give your baby a bath. This accessory won’t take up much space, and there’s no point in talking about weight.
Inflatable seats. They are sold in different designs. The advantage is obvious - you don’t have to sit on wet grass or damp soil, especially early in the morning when the dew has not yet evaporated.
Sewing supplies. Here the most necessary things are threads with needles, a couple of pins.
Rope. It is useful, for example, for drying washed children's clothes. But you never know for what purposes.

It is possible (and even more than likely) that the author did not take everything into account. Hiking, as you know, differs greatly in many ways. The rest is easy to figure out on your own. For example, if the route runs along a pond, a fishing rod or a children's inflatable ring will not hurt. Anyone who is accustomed to regularly enjoying the benefits of civilization can hardly do without a portable radio.

In general, there is still something to think about, given the composition of the group and the inclinations (habits, preferences) of each of the participants in the hike. Don’t forget about your four-legged friend if you take him with you. Dry dog food and a plastic bowl are a must.

The practice of hiking shows that the main problems of inexperienced tourists arise due to improper packing of the backpack. It is carried out according to the principle: down - everything heavy, on top - the rest, as the weight decreases. But that's not all. After completing the configuration, you should put it on and make sure that it does not create inconvenience when moving. It is enough to walk around the room several times, and it will immediately become clear where there is pressure, bulging, rubbing, and so on.

Additionally, you should also jump. Only such a comprehensive check guarantees that during the hike you will not have to constantly make stops and rearrange things, delaying the entire group.

Matches should be immediately packed in moisture-proof material. For example, plastic bag. Otherwise, even if they don’t get wet in the rain, they will definitely get damp. It is unlikely that you will be able to start a fire with their help. The same applies to food supplies, especially salt, sugar and the like. In principle, most bulk materials absorb moisture most intensively.

Only experienced tourists make hikes alone, and they do not need advice. Everyone else walks in groups. Some things and accessories can be rationally distributed among everyone. For example, for a small team, just one hatchet is enough. A couple of knives (“of different sizes”) will be enough. The same applies to other attributes - burners, pans, and so on. When compiling a list, you should consider what will be needed for all participants in the trip.
