A lot of people who want to go hiking in the mountains don't have any experience or necessary equipment. It is very important – especially in high mountains, where during the late autumn or winter you can have a serious accident or even die!
OK, let me get back to the subject. What does a hiking checklist include? First of all, you have to buy comfortable hiking boots. You can’t wear any sandals or trainers! You should buy ankle-high mountain boots. They usually cost 150-200 PLN. The next important thing is a waterproof jacket – if you go hacking, you should remember that the mountain weather can change very quickly. My last advice is to take a bottle of mineral water. Going hiking without any water can be really dangerous. Every year there are many accidents because of the fact that tourists get thirsty in the mountains and they are too weak to continue their trip. Then a mountain rescue team has to rescue people in need.
I hope this post will be helpful to plan your first hiking trip. Thanks for reading :).
