Survival Equipments

Anyone of us knows well that before we do anything we need “preparation”, so all of our plans will run well and we will get what we want. Ok, here I will share the preparation before we climb a mountain. We have to prepare anything we would need to climb a mountain, one of God’s masterpieces I guess… well, read this article and hopefully it can help to do the preparation. We do really need a good preparation, because top of the mountain is not as comfortable as our bedroom, well yeah… it goes without saying ‘aight? Except… you go to the top of the mountain in a suicide mission, you don’t need this preparation, LOL. Ok, let’s check it out…

Mountaineering equipments

We’ll need the mountaineering equipments if we want to climb safely, and comfortably. First, we need carrier, it’s a kind of bag that usually used to climb a mountain. It’s big, strong and safe enough for us. We can bring all of the stuffs we need with the carrier. We can choose the carrier that fit on us including the size, model and maybe color. Second, we need a tent. I guess that every climber doesn’t wanna sleep without a tent, this stuff is very useful. We won’t get wet when it’s rain, we can sleep well and comfortably inside it, and we can place all of our stuffs safely so we can do all we wanna do like take photos and we don’t have to bring the equipments with us. In the night, the temperature on the top of a mountain is not as nice as in our house, so we need sleeping bag. To make it more comfortable we can bring mattress. That’s all the essential stuffs we have bring to climb a mountain, if you climb in rainy season don’t forget to bring rainy coat.

Personal equipments

These equipments are not the same among the climbers, it’s up to them what they will bring. Here I just wanna share generally what we need as our personal equipments. Let’s start from clothes, since the mountain is always has low temperature we need the clothes that can warm our body up. From the top to the toe, we will need winter hat, masker (to cover nose and mouth), scarf, gloves, jacket, comfortable t-shirt and pants, shocks, shoes/ sandals (we’d better use the special one to climb) and the rest you can add whatever you need for your own comfort. For girls, don’t forget to bring sun block/ sun screen, it will help you much, LOL.

Logistics

What do I mean by logistics are food and beverage, we will absolutely need it unless (as I write before) you’re on suicide mission. It’s recommended bring the instant one, because we don’t have a kitchen like in our house. Instant noodle, milk, cereal, hot chocolate or coffee (bring on a sachet), and if you have the equipments, bring some vegetable will do no harm. And the important thing is: water. Bring enough water and there will be no dehydration. Isotonic water is also needed to bring our power back.

Personal medicines

Medicines will be needed for climber who has certain kind of disease, so we have to know what kind of medicine we have to bring. For instance, I have a problem with headache, so bring aspirin or something like that to heal it, as we know in a mountain there’s no doctor unless you bring him/ her in your carrier, LOL.

Cash

Well yeah, sounds weird because there will be no shop in a mountain and we climb it not for shopping. But hey, we still need money to handle something unpredictable that can happen to us. The transportation, accommodation or the ticket (some mountain have an entrance fee) will need our cash. Just keep enough cash in your wallet.

Uhmm, I think that’s all I know about the preparation before we climb a mountain. As a newbie maybe what I wrote is not complete, but hopefully it can help the readers. Ok, wherever and whatever mountain you will climb, have a nice climbing everyone!!!
