What to take with you on a long trip in winter - we provide everything. List of personal belongings and equipment for a winter hike

The question of how to properly pack a suitcase for a trip plays an important role in preparing for a trip. In this matter, the main thing is minimalism, so as not to drag too much like a pack donkey, but at the same time everything should be at hand, especially if you are planning a trip abroad.

Remember, heavy bags can overshadow any trip. If you plan to go on a package tour, then you will have to carry all the bags yourself. And even if you go by personal transport, you shouldn’t take a lot either.

Take only the most necessary things from things, because on vacation you will probably want to please yourself with a new thing. Women should bring no more than two sundresses to the beach and a pair of evening or cocktail dresses. A pair of T-shirts, shorts, a tunic or a pareo will become mandatory, it is useful to grab a sweater or windbreaker for cool evenings. In addition, do not forget about mosquitoes that are brutal in the evenings, so you should not please insects with open areas of the body. You can take light light trousers.

It's best if your pieces of clothing can be combined with each other so that they can be worn in different situations, for example, during lunch in a cafe or in the evening at a restaurant. You can grab one skirt and shirt, which is suitable for both warm and cool evenings.

For going to the beach

Do you want to be bright? Take a tunic with a floral print, in it you will always be relevant on the beach. All clothes should be made from natural fabrics, say no to synthetics in order to feel comfortable under the scorching sun. Be sure to take something white - it always looks beautiful and saves from the heat.

Girls, as a rule, take five bathing suits for a ten-day vacation. You should not do this, because you still won’t have time to put on everything. Take a maximum of two, such as a one-piece and a bikini, for variety.

On the road, things wrinkle, so do not be too lazy to take a small iron and a bag of powder with you.

At sea, sunglasses and a hat, such as a light-colored hat or panama, will come in handy. Bring a bathrobe to spend time in your room.

From shoes you need sandals and flip-flops for the beach, as well as sandals for walking tours. If there is room in your suitcase, take a pair of closed shoes, socks - come in handy in case of rain. Of course, no girl will go to a resort without makeup. Take sunscreen and after it, mascara, perfume. Don't forget your personal hygiene products.

Winter is a tough season in literally words. Have you tried to stand on the scales in winter clothes? And here we are - and believe me, the difference is significant! But not only the weight of our body becomes larger, but also the suitcase that we are going to take with us to winter travel. If you are going to spend new year holidays not in Goa or Vietnam (which would not be bad either), but gathered in snowy Europe (Finland, Czech Republic, Austria, Germany or Poland), then our checklist is for you!

First of all, you need to take care of the suitcase - it must be large. Very big. Unless, of course, you are going to take summer tops, dresses, shorts and a straw hat with you. Now you need to take care of filling the suitcase. A very large suitcase.

1. You need to choose clothes with the calculation of the temperature difference.

Don't forget that in different cities and countries the same temperature is felt differently. For example, in Prague it will seem 2-3 degrees warmer, but in Finland you can shiver to the bone already at -10, because there such a temperature will be felt at all -20!

2. Take a good protective winter cream with you.

Preferably, it contains Shea butter, avocado oil and vitamin E.

3. Spend some money and buy some thermal underwear.

Unless, of course, you want to spend the whole winter vacation in the room or in short runs from one warm place to another. Excess clothing will not hinder movement, and you will not feel like cabbage. In addition, you can enjoy all the beauty of the place where you decided to spend the New Year holidays.

4. Sunglasses are relevant not only during a beach holiday.

Ophthalmologists say that wearing sunglasses in winter is sometimes more important than in summer! At this time of the year, our eyes are under a lot of stress due to the sparkling snow in the sun. When choosing glasses, pay attention to the material from which the lenses are made. Give preference to quality materials, such as polycarbonate.

5. Lip balm is useful not only for a woman, but also for a man.

Buy a natural wax based balm. Also pay attention to the composition: there must be vegetable oils (jojoba, shea, shea, mango, avocado, cocoa, tea tree, as well as almond, coconut, castor oils.), vitamin complexes (A, E, B, F) and plant extracts (chamomile, sage, calendula, aloe).

6. Don't be lazy and take another pair of warm shoes with you.

And stock up on warm socks. This obligatory thing while traveling in winter!

7. Protective hand cream will also Your faithful friend during winter travel.

As a rule, the composition of the winter hand cream has its own distinctive properties. He contains a large number of fatty components that nourish and form a special film. The protective cream should contain silicone components, lipids and fatty saturated oils, allantoin and beeswax and honey. Apply the cream half an hour before going outside.

8. A small first aid kit will also come in handy:

• antiviral
• anti-inflammatory
• antipyretic
• cough medicine
• nasal drops
• Activated carbon
• pills for anxiety
• painkiller
• ointments or balms for injuries and sprains
• antiseptics
• adhesive plasters
• bandage and tourniquet
• preferably a thermometer and sphygmomanometer

We have prepared this list with you in mind.

Preparing a car for a long trip

If necessary, wash the glass - cloudy stains increase fatigue and make it difficult to manage.

What to take with you on the road as a motorist

When leaving the country, be sure to check the specific requirements for traffic, list required documents for customs clearance (insurance, etc.). Spikes are prohibited in some states. In order not to pick them out at the border with a screwdriver, prepare the set "" in advance.

To compile the track, it is convenient to use Yandex Maps and AutoTransInfo. Leave time for deterioration weather conditions so as not to adjust plans on the way. It is better to arrive at the hotel in advance and take a walk around the territory than to hastily choose between dinner, water procedures and sleep.

Travel preparation

Try to get enough sleep, and do not eat unfamiliar foods before the road.

There are many proverbs on the topic: “hard in learning - easy in battle”, “hope for the best, prepare for the worst”, etc. When none of the taken is useful, it's okay. But if at the right time there is no “lifeline” at hand, minor troubles can turn into problems of a completely different scale.

Follow the traffic rules, keep the car in good condition - and long-awaited vacation will be remembered only by the most pleasant impressions!

So. Of course, the best option can only be just wrap it with duct tape and all of it with you and transport, and in hand luggage- dresser. But since we will have to carry all this exclusively, and the penalty for overloading will hit the pocket quite noticeably, which can be devastated with much greater pleasure in Duty-Free, we are forced to abandon this most brilliant idea. And the wheels of the car can part.

To start we need suitcase. Big. Biggest. And we decide what to take. Please note that there is no washing machine in the rooms, so you will have to wash the little things yourself during the day (in the evening you do not have to do laundry, by God!). Therefore, you need to take things that are beautiful, but practical (evening dresses do not count!)

Now look at purpose of your trip and the company with which you will go, and if you managed to go in splendid isolation, then to the average mass of people who will surround you (it is easy to estimate this both from the reviews of the proposed vacation, and, in fact, at the price of the vacation). It would be silly to wear a luxurious evening dress and an emerald necklace, or jeans with a jumper at a social event every evening at a camp site.

So we take clothes according to the planned activities. If there are walks in the cold - sweaters, jeans, preferably waterproof pants and a sports jacket - what if someone in courage puts you in a snowdrift? If there is a banquet, then you can’t do without an evening dress. What it will be like - here the imagination of fashion designers and designers is already unlimited and it all depends on your desires and preferences and the advice of astrologers.

What to take from shoes? In what to walk down the street, it's up to you to decide, but around the room in boots - not the best the best option. Not only is it inconvenient, but water and snow will spread from them throughout the house or room. It is better to leave them to dry in the corridor, and take slippers with you.

Keep in mind that even with the most careful packing of clothes in a suitcase, something will wrinkle. In this case, I advise you to take a small "marching" iron. It doesn't take up much space, but it's useful. We also need a hair dryer for high-speed drying of hair like air - naturally, folding. You can temporarily leave your favorite professional at home.

Cosmetics. I think two kilos this species Should you still have enough luggage?

It seems that I have clarified all the vital moments for a woman and I hope that my small sketches will be useful to you. Good luck and have a good rest!

Things and equipment for winter hike much heavier, more specific and significantly more expensive than for summer. Much has come to tourism from mountaineering, where various know-how and high technologies are being tested with might and main. Now all these innovations have become available to a wide range of tourists: light, comfortable and expensive.

Previously, tourists made everything themselves, from improvised means, but all these homemade products are not even close to high-tech branded products that make life much easier.

The temperature range in winter is very wide: from -25 to + 10. Accordingly, clothing should be versatile and at the same time light and compact.

Below are lists of equipment and things that you really need to take with you. Everything else can be safely left at home. Please note that this lists only PERSONAL equipment . Group (gas burners and cylinders, boilers, a shovel, campfire equipment, awnings, GPS, etc.) - how much and what kind - the guide decides depending on the specific conditions. And he takes it himself, then distributes it among the participants in the campaign.

Equipment:

Backpack, tent, sleeping bag, rugs, bowl, spoon, mug, knife, sun goggles (ski mask), raincoat, backpack cape, plastic bottle 1-1.5 l, thermos, flashlight, shoe covers or leggings, snowshoes (skis ), trekking poles, personal first aid kit (if necessary, do not duplicate the composition of the group first aid kit), hygiene products, toilet paper(half roll), camera, mobile phone, money and documents.

Things:

Shoes, hat, gloves, thermal underwear, 2 fleece jackets, a membrane jacket with a hood, wind or membrane pants, fleece pants, drop-off pants (or just warm pants), a warm puff jacket, a windproof mask (balaclava), socks, a small book .

It is very convenient to pack all things in a hermetic bag. So they will decrease in volume by 1.5-2 times and never get wet. The bags are sold in tourist shops. There are different sizes: S, M, L. Take M (15l).

Now about everything in detail.

Equipment.

Backpack. For men, optimally 75-90 liters, for women 50-60 liters. Backpacks with a frame and waist belt remove 70-95% of the load from the spine and transfer it directly to the legs through the hips. The stiffer the frame and belt, the better the load is removed from the shoulders. Here are some ratings from own experience: Deuter Aircontact backpack (weight 3kg) is very rigid, takes up to 95% of the weight from the spine, suitable for carrying loads up to 25 kg. Deuter Act Lite (2.1kg) and Osprey Kestrel (1.8kg) will remove up to 80%, suitable for loads up to 18kg. If you do not have serious back problems (curvature, stoop), take a lighter backpack.
All things must fit inside the backpack. Attached outside can get wet, get lost, and break into bushes. Outside, you can only strengthen the rug. It is better to place it in a special case so that it does not fight against the branches.

Tent. There are no options here. Only winter, two-layer with a fabric bottom and aluminum arcs, with a vestibule. The bottom is made of polyethylene, reinforced with polypropylene fibers and fiberglass arcs in frost below -10 become brittle. Good options are "2 + 1" for three and "3 + 1" for four. Take a tent that will be filled to capacity, the lowest one (less space to warm up and good wind resistance) - it's warmer, more reliable and lighter.

sleeping bag. Winter, with a comfort temperature of -7 ° and below. Weighing no more than 2 kg.

Rug(aka karemat, foam). Most best option- an inflatable mat plus a foam mat. The easiest option is two ordinary foam rugs. One will definitely be cold. And to take one inflatable, even a thick winter one, is dumb, often pierced.

Sun glasses (ski mask). For UV, wind and blizzard protection. Preferably slightly darkened or completely transparent, but with 100% UV protection. If the glasses - then like a bicycle, streamlined, not reducing the view. There are special branded ones for $50-100. Streamlined goggles have appeared in specialized tool stores, which are not inferior in elegance to ordinary sunglasses. With durable plastic lenses, good clarity and 100% UV protection. Only $5-20.

Bowl, mug, spoon, knife. As a bowl, a plastic container with a lid with a capacity of 0.5-1 l is best. It is convenient to steam oatmeal and vermicelli in it. You can store and carry different products.
Mug - stainless steel 250-400ml. A thermal mug (with double walls) is undesirable - it is heavy and you can’t heat anything in it. If there is a fire nearby, then even in winter a thermal mug is not needed. It is better not to take plastic mugs - they often break and melt.
Spoon - ordinary, preferably dessert, stainless steel. It is 2 times lighter than the dining room. It is better not to take wooden and plastic options - they break and burn. A fork and a teaspoon are not needed at all.
Knife - you need 2 pieces per group. Ordinary, small folding. I take a small Swiss one with different openers and a corkscrew. You can not take a knife at all. And mine alone will be enough in case of emergency if no one takes it. There will be nowhere to use a large hunting knife.

Shoe covers or gaiters. Needed to protect shoes and feet from water, snow and sharp ice. Shoe covers - with their own sole, top made of durable fabric. High, to the knees. The leg, together with the shoe, is put on a shoe cover. There are branded expensive ones, but you can make your own. See instructions for making shoe covers. Any shoes are suitable for shoe covers, even city shoes, as long as they are warm and comfortable. If you have good modern mountain or trekking boots ($200-500) with all the bells and whistles - breathable Gore-Tex, warm Polartec, etc., then there remains the problem of protecting the junction of the boot with the pants from snow. Then you can limit yourself to gaiters. These are boot covers without soles, a pipe made of durable fabric, attached to the boot with a hook and a strap (under the sole), tightened with a cord under the knee so that they do not slip. Sold ready-made for $ 10-15. You can do it yourself. Nothing complicated.

Snowshoes (skis). If the snow on the route is deep, and this is usually known in advance, then it would be good to take snowshoes. The many home-made ones that have been tested before completely pale in front of the branded "TSL" ($ 150-300). They are also equipped with spikes, replace crampons on ice and firn. But it is desirable for the whole group to be in snowshoes. It’s impossible to trail in a snowshoe, it’s even better to walk in a line, and not track to track. Therefore, if there are less than 3-4 people without snowshoes, it will be hard for them. Yes, splitting up is bad. Take skis if you have experience using them. Learning on a hike usually does not work, so they will pass on you. Without sufficient experience, you can only walk on a flat surface, and up or down - faster on foot. And we just don't walk on level ground...

Trekking poles. Sticks significantly reduce the load on the ankle, knees and spine. They also help you keep your balance on the descents and ascents. Very helpful when traversing a slope. In the parking lot they serve as racks for awnings and tents. Take folding from three sections. Remember to take wide snow stops, like ski poles.

Raincoat, backpack cover. Even in winter, rain is not uncommon. The cheapest raincoat is a polyethylene raincoat for $0.5-2. But these are quickly torn against branches and stones. You need to have at least 2. For a hike, a special poncho made of light tent fabric is better, covering a person along with a backpack ($ 30-50). Does not restrict movement, well ventilated (perfect sweat wicking). The disadvantage is a large volume, clings to branches.

The use of a rain jacket paired with rain pants or a raincoat worn under a backpack is not acceptable when walking with a backpack. The body releases too much moisture, which does not evaporate through the raincoat. As a result, you will get wet from the inside no less than from the rain. Another thing in the parking lot - the jacket fits.

Thermos and empty plastic bottle. During the day we do not heat water for dinner. Therefore, hot drinks should be prepared at breakfast and carried in a thermos. Enough 0.7 - 1.0 liters per person. Optimum unbreakable stainless steel. Arrange a suitability test for your thermos: pour full boiling water, tighten all the lids, just do not put on a cover (if any). Leave at room temperature. After 5 hours, the water temperature should not fall below 72-75 ° (you will not burn your finger, but do not hold it for more than 1 second), after 9 hours - not lower than 64 ° (do not hold your finger for longer than 2-3 seconds). If it cools faster, it's not a thermos. Plastic bottle needed to collect and carry water in the parking lot. Enough 1-1.5l per person.

Flashlight. Headlamp LED flashlight. Even if you don't have one, be sure to buy it. Best of all - on one powerful LED. Insert fresh alkaline (alkaline) batteries, or rechargeable batteries, spares are not needed. Important! When transporting and carrying a backpack, remove the batteries from the flashlight (especially cheap ones) to avoid accidental activation.

first aid kit. Of course, the guide will have a first aid kit. Its composition is here: first-aid kit. If you need additional medicines, take them yourself.
If you have frequent problems with calluses or joints, tendons, take a band-aid and an elastic bandage for yourself. Plaster in a roll 4-5 cm wide on a fabric basis, without pads.

Hygiene products. Soap is enough for a small piece of 30-40 gr. Toothbrush, no toothpaste (it will freeze and not squeeze out of the tube). Hand and face cream, hygienic lipstick - the face and lips become very weathered out of habit. Packing of wet wipes - they can be washed if you are reluctant to climb into cold water.

Toilet paper. Half a roll per person is enough.

Camera. There will be nowhere to charge equipment. Therefore, take spare batteries or save the ones you have. You don't need to bring a photo tripod.

Mobile phone. For security reasons, everyone should have a mobile phone. In a separate waterproof package. Fully charged and with money in the account. There will be nowhere to charge it. It is advisable to take a power bank.

Important numbers that may come in handy during the hike (my phones and the guide's phones in the first place), write down on paper and put it not with money. For insurance against various cases.

Money and documents. Required Passport or a document replacing it. Keep money and documents in separate waterproof packaging.

Things.

Shoes. She needs to give Special attention. It is desirable that these be special trekking or mountain high boots. Their sole has good grip on wet and dry stones, ice, soil. The upper is extra strong leather, securely glued and sewn to the sole. Inside, there is usually a Gore-Tex type membrane to remove excess moisture. Such shoes are not sold on the market, only in sports stores, preferably in tourist ones.

Choose the size so that even in two warm socks there is free space for moving your fingers.

Never take new shoes on a hike. Be sure to walk in it for several days, it is better to run or play active games. In short, you need to spread. If it turns out that the size is not the right one, wash it with a sponge and change it. Hiking shoes will not lose their new look even after a few days of wearing. Did so many times. The main thing is to save and return all the tags to their place.

If you buy or make shoe covers with galoshes, then ordinary reliable city shoes will go with them.

Warm hat, gloves. The hat is warm, best of all - fleece. A budget option- acrylic. She must wear the hood of the jacket.

Gloves (preferably mittens) - 2 pairs. Suitable ski - nylon with insulation. You can use fleece or other warm ones, and on top, if necessary, wear "tops" - made of waterproof fabric to protect against wind and water.

thermal underwear. Hiking items should not contain cotton. It retains a lot of moisture and does not dry well. Synthetic is better. The ideal option is polyester. Thermal underwear is usually sold as a set - a long-sleeve top and pants. It happens in different thicknesses (respectively, warmth). For generality, you can take the average. It will always be with you, day and night. When wet, it dries quickly on the body.

As an alternative, a polyester golf or long-sleeved T-shirt is suitable, and acrylic warm (but not very) tights.

Fleece jackets. Fleece (Polar, Polartec) is a godsend for a tourist. Holds very little moisture. If you just squeeze it out, it is already dry to the touch and warms. Take 2 pieces. During the day at the crossing, you will wear one fleece jacket directly over the thermal underwear, both at the parking lot. Both, or at least one, must be collared to the chin.

Jacket with a hood. Jacket made of durable fabric, with an inner skirt from snow and wind, puffs on the sleeves, with a mesh lining, without insulation. Waterproof and breathable (with membrane). Will be worn over a fleece jacket during transitions and parking.

wind pants. Made of durable fabric, waterproof and breathable, no insulation. With puff skirts at the bottom. Will wear thermal underwear or fleece pants during transitions.

Fleece pants. They are good for sleeping in, and in extreme cold they are worn instead of or together with thermal underwear during the transition. In the temperature range -5 + 5, I wear thermal underwear and fleece pants without windbreakers. If you can't find it, you can buy a piece of fleece and sew pants in the atelier. The most simple, with an elastic band, without pockets.

Pants - self-resetting. Comfortable in frosts below -10. Warm pants like a ski bib with zippers on the sides. They dress without taking off their shoes over everything. They are used in parking and halts. Instead, you can take ski pants or semi-overalls, or even simple puffy pants with synthetic winterizer insulation.

Warm jacket - puff. Needed when frost is below -10. Weighing up to 600gr. If it’s not completely cold, it will also go on a synthetic winterizer. It is worn over everything in parking lots and halts.

Windproof mask (balaclava). It is worn under a hat in strong cold winds. It is a sleeve with a large opening for the entire face, descending to the shoulders.

Socks. Fleece or trekking warm. 3 pairs. I used to use woolen "grandmother's knitting" for sleep, but the slightest wetting makes them cold, and then they dry for a long time. Cotton and linen in the composition of socks are strictly unacceptable. Wool is acceptable, but not more than 35%. We also recommend taking warm membrane socks. The foot will be almost dry and, most importantly, warm, even if the water squishes in the boot. Also, it is very comfortable to cross cold rivers in such socks. We have tested Dex Shell firms, not to say that it is expensive and the quality is good.

Which is definitely not worth taking.

Axes, hunting knives. Not needed everywhere. If necessary, the instructor will take it himself.

Towel. We won't swim anyway.

Guitar. First, you can't play with gloves. Secondly, it can not bear the temperature difference.
