Equipment 裝備

Different types of treks place different requirements on your equipment. For simpler terrain, a pair of comfortable, supportive shoes and a day pack are sufficient. If you are heading further out into the mountains and plan to be out for several days, you need much more reliable equipment. A stable backpack with a good support system, a tent that can withstand all types of weather and boots that provide support. For example. But as important as it may be to have good equipment, it is just as important that you are familiar with how to use the equipment. Take your camping stove with you on a weekend excursion and pitch your tent on a windy day. This will make a big difference when you are later out in the mountains.

One important part of your preparations is to choose items that you will really need and leave the “good to have” items at home. If you feel like you appreciate a higher standard of comfort or if you do not have all the equipment you need or do not know how to use your equipment, it can be a good idea to stay in a cabin or mountain station and take shorter day treks from there.

不同行山的種類決定了裝備需求。以簡單的地形來說，一雙舒適、支撐型的專用鞋，加上一天用的背囊就已足夠。如果您打算深入山區，停留數日之久，就需要更多可靠的裝備。具有優異支撐系統的穩定背囊，可承受風吹雨打的帳篷，具支撐力的靴子，都是不可或缺的裝備。除了擁有完善的裝備之外，熟悉裝備的操作方式也非常重要。找一個週末，帶著您的爐具來一趟小遠足，或者挑個有風的日子，試搭一下帳篷。這些對於往後實際進入山區會很有幫助。

準備工作須以實際需要為原則，捨棄「帶了也好」的物品。如果您對舒適度的要求較高，或者裝備不齊全，或者不會操作裝備，也可以選擇住宿山屋或登山站，以此為基地進行短程的日間行山。
