Summer - time for leisure, holidays and entertainment. Each year, many people have put the bulk bags, in order to go on holiday, for example, by the sea. But a campaign is much more complicated. What to take a hike to get the most comfortable vacation with a minimal set of things? Let's understand this together.
If you are going to go in the campaign is important to consider the basic requirement of a backpack should be as roomy and comfortable as possible with minimum external dimensions. Capacity hiking backpacks is measured in liters. The ideal in this case is a backpack, capacity of which is equal to 50-70 liters. Backpack should be made of strong dense tissue, its bottom should be sewn and shoulder straps must be securely fastened.
Before you decide that you need to take a hike, understand one rule. Items must fit in a backpack as follows:
- Heavy should be laid down or middle, as close as possible to the back.
- Soft - only to back.
- Brittle and volume - up.
- Essentials should be expanded in the pockets of a backpack. Moreover, it is important to remember their location in a backpack to quickly reach them when they are needed.
- Things should be stacked so that walking does not rattled.
Experienced tourists are recommended to first lay down a backpack in a folded mat to shape a backpack and a plastic bag to protect the items from moisture. After that, better to pack a blanket or a sleeping bag, then the rest of the large and soft things. Then add up the food - canned goods, cereals, sugar, etc. and then - things are basic necessities. Things for personal use should be spread out on a cloth or waterproof bags.
Adding the necessary things in a campaign, you should wear a backpack on your back, to see how comfortable he is sitting on his back. If the bag is laid correctly, it will fit with the concave side to the back of very tight. Large items should not be to fasten the bottom of a backpack or outside. In some cases, it is of course impossible. For items such as a tent and a sleeping bag quite difficult to fit in a backpack, so they should be pre-wrapped in waterproof cloth, tightly tied to a backpack.
Before proceeding to the immediate collection of a backpack, you need to write a list of things needed in the campaign, and think it should be very careful not to bring along too much and do not forget the right. To begin to negotiate with the rest of the campaign, one that carries out common user items, so as not to duplicate the items and not to drag the extra load. That is, it suffices to one of the whole group to take a tube of toothpaste, soap, etc. One If properly discuss who it takes, you can get rid of the 2-3 extra kilos of cargo. You can also do with food. It should discuss in advance what kind of food to take a hike to each of its participants. And now you can start writing a list of things needed in the campaign.

So, first we understand, what dishes should take. Beating the dishes with him to take should not be. The first step is to take a mug, a knife, a spoon and a bowl. And for a hike is best to choose aluminum spoons - they weigh little, and they can be used repeatedly. Mug would be preferable to choose from plastic food - it is not only easy, but also does not get hot like metal circles. Bowls should be taken as a spoon, aluminum. You can, of course, and plastic, but in field conditions such dishes is difficult to clean out the fat. Also among the participants of the campaign should be one large bowl in which to prepare a salad for the whole group. If you go to a campaign of 10-12 people, the entire group should grab no more than 3-4 knives. And the knives must be packed in a case, to avoid accidental injury and damage backpacks. Also, do not forget to take one ladle at a whole group of people.
In a large group of people (10-16 people) need to take at least two boilers. If the group is small (3-4 people), it is possible to manage and one boiler. In addition, the boilers can be replaced by aluminum pans, which handles should be cut off, and in their place to drill a hole into which the cable will need to vdet metal. The length of the rope should be half the perimeter of the pan. In a small group of people will go on a 2-D and 4-liter pot. For the middle group (6-8 people) need a 5-liter and 7-liitrovy boilers. But for a large group, you can make pots of cans of 10 liters. It is important that the cans were made from food-grade aluminum.
