Tips for having the correct kit when camping in the mountains.- Part 1

There is nothing better than having an adventure up in the mountains

. It

provides an opportunity to get away from the rat race and live with nature.

The weather can change very quickly at an altitude so it is essential to have

prepared your kit with the correct equipment. The first and one of the most

important pieces of equipment you need is called a survival blanket. A

survival blanket looks like silver foil and when you wrap it around you it

keeps you warm. They are very cheap to purchase but can be a life saver. I

can recall being up in the Lake District in Cumbria UK and camping beside Red

Tarn at Helvellyn. Being in a mountain valley with a north east wind meant a

negative wind chill. I was sharing a tent with my friend and the survival

blanket saved him from hypothermia that night.

Another simple but essential piece of equipment is a whistle. It may be very

easy to become separated from your group or if you are on your own stranded.

Also, planning is essential in the fact that if you are adventuring on your

own always leave a route plan with a someone who is with you but not going on

the adventure. The benefit here is if you do have problems and are not back

by your planned time they can take action and call for help.

There is a lot more essential kit needed and I will tell you more in the next

article.
