8 discoveries that I made in the first campaign
Travels / / December 19, 2019
So, you have chosen the route, find a good company, and even bought tickets. Behind the study of tourist forums, running to the shops with snaryagu and advice of experienced ramblers. Behind the uncertainty and fear, expectation and leave troubles fees. Are you ready for your first real trip!
Ready? Yeah, as it is not so! Here are eight things you, in that you will not believe it until I get a feeling from the experience.
Any mistake can have big consequences
Usually we go to nature in search of peace and serenity. We do not want to strain to think and worry about any nonsense. But in fact, in the campaign every detail matters, and relax completely just will not work. Lazy once again look at the map - lost his way and made a detour in a couple of tens of kilometers. Too lazy to take a heavy sleeping bag - Now shake at night from the cold. Not one mistake does not remain unpunished, and each step has consequences, correct that it is sometimes very difficult.
Sunscreen is not just for girls
Many believe that the cream for sun protection as something not too in harmony with the image of a brave conqueror of nature. And absolutely nothing. It takes only a few hours to spend in the sun, so that by the evening to get a red and burning skin, which will not let you sleep a few days. The same applies to hygienic lipstick.
Waterproof things do not happen
No, I'm serious. From whatever material neither has your clothes, no matter how much money you took away any of its properties supernepromokaemye, still you vymoknete to the skin. How fast it will happen - only solves the strength and duration of the precipitation. Since nothing can be done, just accept and make peace with it.
In the forest there is someone
When the day you will be making their way through the forest, you may find that it is completely empty. Well, except for the birds, of course. But is it worth to you to stay for the night, in the dark forest surrounded you will be filled with sounds and rustles. You will hear some grunts, stomping, breathing, crawling around your right tent. Do not pay attention, they just live here and will not do you any harm.
The locals do not know anything
Do you want to get lost for sure? Ask the locals the way!
Locals are usually very few are aware even that is in close proximity to their garden, not to mention the more remote surroundings. They firmly believe that they live in the dim, nondescript and boring place on the planet, so little interest in nature and the sights of his native land. Therefore, always I try to verify extracted from the "language" information twice or even three times.
The moon and the stars shine better flashlight
What a hike without a powerful flashlight? We, the urban residents, are firmly convinced that without a flashlight at night in the woods or mountains as without hands. However, you quickly make sure that the lights in the campaign is taken more for insurance. Firstly, in a night-time, you will usually peacefully snuffle in the tent. And secondly, most of the light of the moon and stars is enough to move in the dark. Moreover, in this light, even better seen than in the narrow beam of a flashlight, so you will do it off as useless.
Do not forget to put in a backpack some space
Usually, tourists try to pack your luggage as close as possible and compact. But often there are situations when you need to add in the way of a couple of things, but they have nowhere to put. This can be a loaf of bread from a roadside shop, collected mushrooms purchased from the shepherds cheese and so on. Advance provided for in his luggage a few places where you could put unplanned purchase.
The farther away from the people, the safer
Many believe that the farther away into the wilderness, the more dangerous it becomes a campaign. Actually this is not true. The biggest trouble comes from the people and from machines, which, incidentally, is also run by people. So try to stay away from settlements and the banks of reservoirs, which are always teeming with fishermen. Less than a number of people, the more comfortable will your sleep.
