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!!!
