 Tools and necessary things for a 10-day mountain trek



 If you are planning to spend 10 days in the mountains, you will need to equip yourself with some tools and things that will help you enjoy your trip and overcome the challenges you may face.  In this article, we'll go over some of the essential items you should have in your bag before you leave for the mountains.


 - The bag:

 The bag is considered one of the most important tools you need on your trip, as it carries all the clothes, equipment, and supplies you need.  You should choose a bag that fits the size and weight of what you want to carry, and is comfortable, durable, and waterproof.  It should also have multiple pockets and straps to organize your items well.  You can choose between a backpack, a travel bag, or a sports bag, depending on the nature, duration, and destination of your trip.


 - Clothing:

 Your clothing choices depend on the season, climate, and activities you want to do in the mountains.  In general, it is recommended to wear multi-layered clothing made of breathable, breathable fabrics that absorb sweat and dry quickly.  Your clothing must also be flexible, suitable for your movement, and protect you from cold, wind, sun, and rain.  Some basic items you should bring are: hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, gloves, socks, walking or climbing shoes, pants, T-shirt, blouse, jacket, coat, underwear, and sleepwear.


 - Food and water:

 You need a lot of food and water to provide your body with energy and hydration during your trip in the mountains.  You should choose foods that are high in calories, proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins and minerals, and are easy to carry, store and prepare.  Some examples of these foods are: fresh or dried fruits and vegetables, nuts, seeds, grains, chocolate, honey, peanut butter, tuna, salami, cheese, bread, crackers, soup, pasta, rice, lentils, tea, coffee, milk, and juices.  You should also carry at least 2 liters of water with you per day, and use reusable bottles or a hydration bag.  You can also purchase or purify water from natural sources such as rivers, springs, and lakes, using disinfection tablets, water filters, or sterile materials.


 - Other tools:

 There are some other tools that you may need on your trip in the mountains, depending on the type, duration and purpose of your trip.  Some of these tools are: tent, sleeping bag, air mattress, stove, pot, spoons, knives, flashlights, batteries, camera, phone, charger, compass, map, watch, binoculars, book, toys, music, etc.  You should also carry with you a first aid box that contains some medicines, antiseptics, bandages, scissors, needle, thread, tweezers, painkillers, antibiotics, antihistamines, ointments, tissues, masks, gloves, etc.
