Tips for beginners

Here we have collected some tips for those who are going to climb the mountains for the first time. However, experienced climbers can also read these simple guidelines so they don't forget them.

How to fold a backpack

Let's start with the tent, there is nowhere without it. The next detail is the gas burner, it will greatly simplify cooking and save time. Food should be clearly calculated such as meals and snacks. You also should take the same little things as on a regular hike. Collect a first-aid kit, take a flashlight and phone chargers.

How to plan a route

The route must be approved in advance. Draw it on a map, give a copy to a relative or close friend. Suddenly get lost - they will know exactly where to look. The first independent hike should not be planned for a long time. The backpack will not be overloaded with things and food.

What you need to be ready for

Insects and snakes that can bite are a source of trouble on hikes. Even before the hike, you should find out about the presence of snakes on the route, and if the probability of encountering them is high, put on trekking pants and shoes made of dense materials. When stopping for a rest stop, first of all, you need to poke a stick at the chosen place. If the snake does bite, you should move as little as possible or not at all, treat the bite with an antiseptic.
