Winter treks 冬季行山
Equipment 裝備
A winter landscape and winter weather conditions place special demands on your equipment, not only in terms of the material and design of details, but also in how you use and maintain them during your trek. There is a rule of thumb that says that 30 per cent of your total ability to function in the outdoors, not in the least during the winter, depends on your clothing and other equipment. The rest, in other words a whopping 70 per cent of your capacity, is dependent on your ability to apply experience and skill – which includes using your equipment in the most efficient way. In other words, good equipment plays a large role in your preparations for your trip, but what is equally important is spending a lot of time outdoors with your equipment.
冬季由於地面景觀和天氣狀況的緣故，對裝備有特殊的要求，不僅在材質和細節設計上不能馬虎，也關係到活動期間的操作和維護狀況。有一個法則是說，人在戶外的整體運作有30%取決於衣著和裝備，不只是冬季。換而言之，您的能力有70%的絕大部分依賴經驗和技術，包含如何有效運用您的裝備。我們可以說，好的裝備在整體規劃上佔了重要角色，戶外實際操作的重要性亦同樣重要。
