PREPARING FOR A HIKE – ESSENTIAL TIPS

Dispatcher Files

Knowing how to prepare for a hike can make the difference between a good hike and an unforgettable one. Whether it be a day or multi-day trip, preparing for a hiking trip ahead of time will help you avoid physical discomfort and overpacking.

1. PICK YOUR TRAIL

Take time picking the best trail for you.

2. GET IN SHAPE FOR YOUR HIKE

There’s nothing worse than waking up in the midst of a multi-day trek with sore, achy joints or, even worse, an injury. That’s why physically training for hiking is the best thing you can do for your body to prepare it for consecutive days of walking.

3. PACK YOUR HIKING ESSENTIALS

Selecting the right kind of backpack is key to packing for a hiking trip. Always keep in mind that it’s important to stay as light as possible while still packing the essentials.

4. USE THE 3-LAYER APPROACH

One main challenge of hiking preparation is choosing the best clothing for your trip while using as little space and weight as possible. Layering is ideal when selecting light and versatile clothes for a wide range of hiking conditions.

5. BE PREPARED FOR EMERGENCIES
