A hike does not begin with the first step, but with the planning.
In addition to the right clothes and very good shoes, you should take the right equipment on the hike. Everything you pack in your backpack you have to carry up the mountain, so the rule is: as little as possible, as much as necessary.
Water:
Sufficient water is essential to carry on any hike. For a full day hike, plan on at least three liters of water per person.
Snack:
Even if you plan to take a longer break in a mountain restaurant, you should always take a small snack with you.
First aid kit and first aid kit:
It happens quickly that you hurt yourself or blisters form on your feet despite even the best footwear. For this reason, plasters and ointments should definitely be taken along on every hike. We recommend extending this and taking an emergency first-aid kit with you.
Sunglasses and sunscreen:
Since UV radiation is much more intense at altitude than in the valley, sunscreen and sunglasses should definitely not be forgotten.
Hiking map:
Even if you know the way and have a route planning app installed on your smartphone, you should always take a hiking map with you, as you can lose your bearings very quickly in the mountains.
You should always plan the route in advance and also think about the duration, difficulty, condition.
Walking sticks:
Four legs are better than two. Hiking or trekking poles can provide useful help on hikes, as they give more stability.
Smartphone:
The smartphone battery should be fully charged.
Backpack:
A suitable backpack is very important, so that it does not end the hike with unpleasant pressure points or in the worst case back pain. A great companion is the backpack from Sunnybag, which convinced us not only because of its carrying comfort and space, but especially because of the integrated solar panel.
Impressed by the beautiful nature and the great mountain panorama, you take countless pictures with your smartphone and probably you have also activated an app for route planning. Thus, you can watch how the battery of the smartphone is getting less and less and you wonder whether this is still enough until the end of the hike.
Thanks to the solar panel integrated into the backpack of Sunnybag, the smartphone can be easily charged during the hike or a break when the sun is shining.
This makes the backpack from Sunnybag is not only on hikes, but also for bike rides, city trips and even on the beach the ideal companion.
