Get ready for Backpacking



Backpacking is a exciting way to see the world. Use these tips to ensure that your are ready for this adventure:

Fitness: Make sure you're fit enough to walk long distances with a heavy knapsack at the back. A check-up should reveal whether you're fit enough.

Get Fit: To lug around the heavy load, you'll need strong leg, lower and upper back, and abdominal muscles. Include exercises for these muscles into your routine.

Pack Right: Bring only necessities and opt for the smaller versions, like travel size toiletries and small torchlight.

Bag it: To prevent injury, lift your backpack onto your bended knee first, then slip your back through one shoulder harness, and slip the other one onto your shoulder. Or have someone to hold the pack up for you before pulling the shoulders straps over the shoulders.

Energise: Rest and eat well to conserve energy. You will be more susceptible to injury if you're tired.
