Get off the ceiling! Look up at the sky!

Have you ever woken up to the sound of birds chirping and sunlight flooding your tent like a scene straight out of Instagram (minus the filter)? Imagine a steaming cup of coffee on a mini stove, the aroma mixing with the earthy musk of pine needles. That, my friends, is the magic of backpacking - a chance to ditch the daily grind and reconnect with the unfiltered, raw beauty of the outdoors. But don't worry, there are some essentials that need to be organized before that happens. Don't worry, aspiring adventurers! Doing these things will allow you to embark on your journey with confidence and some bragging rights (and maybe a great Instagram story or two).Your Backpacking BFF - Choosing the Perfect BackpackThink of a backpack as your trusted traveling companion that hauls your essentials through miles of wilderness. Here, comfort is king. Choose a backpack with breathable mesh and adjustable straps that hug your hips and shoulders like a long-lost friend. A good rule of thumb is that the backpack should rest comfortably on your hips and the straps should follow the natural curves of your body. Don't be shy, load up a test backpack at the store and wander around - and indulge your backpack modeling instincts on the runway (hopefully without an audience). As for size, weekenders can get by with a 40-50 liter backpack, while long-distance adventures may require a large 60-liter backpack to hold all your gear. Remember, every ounce counts, so pack light - you'll thank yourself later (especially when going uphill).Home away from home: camping under the starsA tent is your shelter under the stars. Tents should be lightweight, easy to pitch and weatherproof. While a backpacking tent may prioritize weight reduction over all-weather protection, a three-season tent can strike a good balance between weight and coping with the occasional rain or snow. If you're planning on challenging harsher conditions, a four-season tent offers the ability to handle heavy snow or strong winds. Basically, just choose the tent that best suits your adventure style.Sleep like a bear (and hopefully snore less): Comfort in a sleeping bagA good night's sleep is the foundation of an epic adventure. Choose a sleeping bag with a temperature rating that matches your backpacking season. Down sleeping bags are like Usain Bolts - lightweight and super warm, but they don't like to get wet. On the other hand, synthetic fiber sleeping bags are slightly heavier, but can withstand moisture. Don't forget the sleeping pad! It acts as insulation between you and the cold ground, ensuring you don't wake up feeling like a human popsicle.Backpacking Food and Cooking GearBackpacking food has to be lightweight, calorie-dense, and something you don't mind staring at for days (variety is the spice of life, but maybe not on this trip). Consider dehydrated meals, energy bars that taste decent, trail mix that won't make you feel like a squirrel, and instant oatmeal that won't bring back memories of the bland breakfasts of your childhood. A lightweight camping stove and a cooking pot will be great for cooking your meals in the wilderness (think gourmet campfire mac and cheese instead of Michelin-starred cuisine). Remember to respect the outdoors - pack your trash away and follow the Leave No Trace principle. No one likes a litterer, not even the majestic mountain goat.Hit the trail in style (or at least comfort): the right shoes and emergency itemsA sturdy and comfortable pair of hiking boots is like a reliable companion for your feet. Lightweight hiking boots are good for well-maintained trails, while ankle-supporting backpacking boots are great for rugged terrain. Fit is key. A map, compass (or GPS with spare batteries, just in case) is your navigation team. Learn some basic orienteering skills before you go - you don't want to end up circling in place like a lost puppy. Pack a headlamp for those inevitable "oops, it's dark" moments, and a basic first-aid kit for minor scrapes and bumps (because even the greatest explorers trip over the occasional tree root).
No crying, no fuss, easy on the road

The fresh air blows across your face, it's a hug from nature! Your heart is full of anticipation, as if you see yourself as a heroic figure in a wilderness adventure. However, in the wilderness far away from civilization, sometimes things don't always go as planned. Maybe you suddenly sprain your ankle on a rugged mountain road, or accidentally fall while exploring an unknown area, causing serious abrasions. Worse still, you may even hear your stomach suddenly "grumble", protesting that you forgot to bring enough food and water in a hurry. What you need is some basic first aid knowledge and preparation. You can carry some first aid supplies with you, learn some basic first aid skills, and be fully prepared before you set off to ensure that you are able to deal with any situation that may arise.Be prepared for the worstWhen we talk about being prepared for the worst, it’s not just an empty slogan, but a real action strategy. You’re on a long trip, and your first aid kit is your little guardian angel in your backpack, silently guarding you. This first aid kit should be small and light enough not to be a burden on your body, but at the same time it must be filled with the necessities to treat minor injuries and illnesses. For wound care, you need to prepare disinfectant wipes or disinfectant solution, which are used to clean wounds. Next, there are bandages of various shapes and sizes, which can deal with various situations from small cuts on fingers to large abrasions. Gauze pads are used to soak the wound to help absorb blood and exudate. Don’t forget medical tape, which can effectively fix the wound and prevent the bandage from falling off.In addition to wound care, painkillers are also essential. Over-the-counter painkillers such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen are very effective in relieving headaches, muscle aches, and even unexpected sprains. They are like your portable doctor, allowing you to recover quickly in pain. Preventing blisters is also very important for long hikes or outdoor activities. Moleskin or blister pads are your good helpers. They can effectively reduce the friction between the feet and shoes and prevent small blisters from becoming eye-catching monsters. Remember to prepare pads of various shapes and sizes to cover any potential hot spots on the feet. Allergy attacks are also something we need to be vigilant about. If you react to bee stings or poison ivy, antihistamines can quickly relieve your discomfort and keep you calm in an emergency. In addition to the above, there are some emergency essentials that are also indispensable. A pair of blunt-tipped small scissors can be used to cut tape or bandages, which is very practical. Tweezers can help you remove those pesky splinters or thorns to avoid infection. And an emergency blanket can provide you with warmth when you feel cold.Stop and calm downWhen facing any outdoor medical situation, our first and most important rule is: don't panic! In the face of sudden accidents, keeping a cool head is the key to handling emergencies. At this moment, our first thing to do is to ensure the safety of ourselves and other people on the scene to avoid any further injuries. If we are facing a super serious injury, such as a broken bone or other life-threatening situation, we must quickly activate the emergency plan. This may include calling emergency services immediately, finding the nearest medical facility, or following the emergency rescue training we have received before.For common minor injuries, we can follow the golden rule of first aid: stop, calm down, and repair. "Stop" means that we should not take any action that may make the injury worse. For example, if you are injured during mountaineering, you should stop moving immediately and find a safe place to rest to avoid aggravating the injury by continuing to move. Next, "calm down" requires us to carefully assess the injury. Observe whether the wound is bleeding? Does the injured part look deformed or misplaced? Can the injured person still move normally? Through these questions, we can initially judge the severity of the injury. Finally, "repair" is to use the first aid supplies at hand to perform preliminary treatment on the wound based on our investigation. For abrasions, we can clean the wound with clean water and sterilized cotton balls; for sprains, we can use ice to reduce swelling and pain; for minor discomfort such as headaches, we can use painkillers to relieve symptoms. We are not professional doctors. In an emergency, although we can take some basic first aid measures, we should never try to play the role of a doctor without professional knowledge and skills. If we are unsure of the severity of the injury, or the injury may involve life safety, we should immediately seek the help of a professional doctor to ensure that the injured person receives timely and effective treatment.Common trauma quick treatmentFor cuts and abrasions, clean the wound thoroughly with clean water or disinfectant wipes to remove all dirt and bacteria. Then, gently press on the wound with a disinfectant dressing to stop bleeding and prevent more bacteria from entering. Make sure the dressing covers the entire wound and bandage it well, which not only prevents dust and bacteria from entering, but also keeps the wound moist and promotes healing.Sprains and strains are usually caused by overstretching or tearing of muscles, ligaments or joints. In this case, the RICE principle should be applied as soon as possible: rest, ice, compression and elevation. Let the injured part get enough rest and avoid further activities.Blisters are formed due to the accumulation of fluid under the skin. For small, unbroken blisters, no special treatment is usually required, just avoid further friction or irritation. If the blister is large or painful, you can first carefully puncture one side of the blister with a sterilized needle to let the fluid flow out. But be careful not to remove the skin covering the blister, because that is the body's natural bandage that helps prevent infection and promote healing.Insect bites and stings may cause redness, swelling, itching, and pain. If the insect has left a stinger (such as a bee sting), carefully remove it with tweezers. Then, wash the affected area with soap and water to remove the insect's venom and bacteria. Next, apply a cold compress to reduce swelling and itching. You can use ice cubes or ice packs for cold compresses, but again, be careful to prevent frostbite.
A sudden change in the weather? Hurry up and protect yourself!

You are now wearing durable, windproof and waterproof outdoor gloves and deep into the wilderness. Your figure seems so small in the vast land, but it exudes the courage and determination of an explorer. Just as you are immersed in this freedom and excitement, the mood of nature suddenly changes drastically. The wind begins to howl, sweeping everything around, and the whole sky seems to be shrouded in a bad mood on steroids, which is extremely depressing and heavy. Uh oh, nature shows her not-so-pleasant side. Don't panic! Although extreme weather can be scary and unsettling, as long as we master some basic survival skills and make corresponding preparations, we can successfully withstand the invasion of storms.Pay attention to the weatherCheck the forecast (and then check again): Don’t trust sunshine and rainbows just because your weather app said it a week ago. Mountain weather can change faster than a toddler’s mood swings. Check the forecast regularly, especially before you leave. Pay close attention to any warnings or advisories for your area.Pack for every eventualityDon’t be fooled by a sunny morning—bring multiple layers! That way, you can adjust your clothing as the temperature changes. Even if the forecast seems sunny, bring a raincoat and waterproof pants. Even in the summer, don’t forget warm clothing like a hat, gloves, and a fleece jacket for suddenly cold nights or unexpected weather changes in the mountains.Invest in a good shelterWhile a five-star hotel room may sound ideal, a sturdy tent is your best option when the weather changes suddenly. Choose a tent that is suitable for the conditions you may encounter. A four-season tent can handle more severe weather, while a lightweight backpacking tent may be sufficient for a sunny hike, but there may be afternoon showers.Know your emergency planBefore you go, make a plan for what to do if you encounter severe weather. Do you have a designated emergency shelter you can get to? Who is your emergency contact? What is the best way to signal for help? Being prepared doesn't guarantee the sun will shine, but it will definitely give you peace of mind and increase your chances of staying safe if the weather takes a nasty turn.Find ShelterIf you're already in bad weather, your first priority is to find shelter. Get out of the open: This may seem like a no-brainer, but it's extremely important. Avoid exposed areas like ridges or open fields. If possible, head for lower ground. Look for natural formations like caves or overhanging rocks (make sure there's no danger of rockfall or flash flooding). If you're lucky, you might find a pre-built structure like a ranger station or sturdy cabin. If you have the time and the right spot, pitch a tent as a wind and rain barrier. Make sure your tent has anchor ropes and stakes to protect against strong winds. In a pinch, you can make a makeshift shelter out of anything you have on hand. Use fallen branches, leaves, and your raincoat to create a windbreak. Dig a trench around your makeshift shelter to divert water. The idea is to create a barrier that blocks wind, rain, or snow to help keep you warm and dry. Staying safe is more important than being comfortable -- you can always deal with a slightly cramped or wet shelter after the storm passes.Stay warm and dryOnce you have found shelter, focus on staying warm and dry. Wear all of your dry clothes, even if they are less than ideal. If necessary, stuff some leaves or grass inside your clothes for added insulation. Gentle movement helps generate body heat. Do some light stretching or jump rope to get your blood flowing. Drink plenty of water even if you don't feel thirsty. Dehydration can worsen the effects of cold weather.Food provides the body with fuel to stay warm. If you have high-calorie snacks like energy bars or nuts, munch on a few to keep your energy levels up. Protecting exposed skin with a hat, gloves, socks, or even a bandana can go a long way.
