Hiking Essentials

Important lesson learnt from my XueShan hike is to always stay dry and stay warm.

Clothing
-Insulation layer: Synthetic material shirt
-Thermal shell: Fleece Jacket/ Soft shell Jacket
-Waterproof layer: Waterproof jacket/pants (preferably goretex)
-Hiking boots (waterproofed not only on the outside but also on the inside)
-Waterproof gaiters to prevent water from seeping into the shoes
-Sockliners to prevent blisters from long distance walking
-Hiking socks
-Sun cap/Beanie
-Lingerie and everyday wear


Equipments
-Hiking backpack (>40 litres for 3- 4 days) with rain cover and waterproofed on the inside with trashbag!
-Hiking stick(s) (I have reliable and affordable sources ;))
-Headlamp (preferably 3 LED)
-Quickdry towels
-Sleeping bag (<10 degrees Celsius)
-Waterproof bag for documents and electronic items
