Fire is merciless, do not leave anything to chance!

Basic requirements to be met by outdoor hikers

1. Healthy Body and Good Physical Reserves Are the Prerequisite for Hiking

Depending on the area to be traversed, hiking can be divided into various types such as suburban, rural, jungle, mountain and river. Because of the basic walking all the way and the possibility of crossing complex terrain, people who lack basic physical conditions are not suitable for trekking. No one can get to the top in one step, and first-time hikers can usually afford to walk short distances over flat terrain. Remember to take it step by step and do not participate in activities that are beyond your physical capabilities.

2. People Who Do Not Have a Team Spirit and Prefer to Work Alone Are Not Suitable for Outdoor Hiking

Short-distance hiking can certainly be done alone, but in long-distance hiking that requires crossing complex terrain and landscapes, teamwork is crucial. A clear division of labor and concerted effort are essential to the success of a challenging hike.

3. Hiking Need to Have Some Knowledge of Wilderness Survival

When you travel, accidents are inevitable. It is important to be able to anticipate and deal with unexpected situations in nature, such as heavy rain, lightning and flash floods, and to be able to properly deal with sprains, blisters on the feet, heatstroke, dehydration, bleeding and other problems that can easily occur in the wilderness.
