How to prepare for a long distance hiking trip
Hiking is a fun, rewarding,
and healthy pastime, but
doing it right takes
preparation. Before you
head out on a long hike,
here are some important
things you should always
remember.
If youre not already used to
walking long distances, a
long-distance, multi-day hike
isnt something you should
just jump into. Before you
get ready to head up the
trail, get yourself in shape by
walking every day until
youre comfortable walking
long distances over a variety
of terrains.
Long-distance hiking is a true
test of endurance. If you
dont want to find yourself
unprepared to continue
when youre miles away from
civilization, you need to get
into shape. Too much or too
little body weight can be a
real hindrance, or even a
health hazard, when doing
long-distance hiking.
You never want to go on a
long-distance hike using gear
youre not comfortable with or
that you dont know can
handle the rigors of the trail.
Take your gear on shakedown
hikes, which are small hikes
you take just to test out and
break in your hiking gear to
make sure youre prepared for
a bigger hike.
Another reason to test your
gear is to see how light you
can make your pack while
still carrying everything you
need. When youre hiking,
extra weight is your enemy.
Know the minimum amount
of gear you can get by with,
and then leave everything
else at home.
A long-distance hike is not
the time to just wander off
and see where nature takes
you. Have your path planned
out before you leave, and
find out as much about the
trail as you can so that
youre prepared for anything
you might encounter once
you get out there.
Hiking can burn up a lot of energy, which means youll have to
pack meals that allow you to stock up on the calories and
nutrients that keep the body going over days of strenuous
exercise. Dont just bring food thats easy to prepare  bring
food that also gives you a balanced, nutrient-filled meal.
Hiking alone can be dangerous,
but hiking with someone whos
unreliable or doesnt have
your back can be even worse.
Never go on a long-distance
hike with someone you
havent hiked with before,
unless you want to discover
you cant rely on them in the
middle of the wilderness.
