Now the he is a more experienced hiker, marine biologist Dr. Christian Heesch has developed a passion for taking on longer and more challenging trails than the ones he faced when he first started hiking. Longer hikes present a range of challenges that you won’t face on shorter trails, so try to keep all of the following in mind to ensure you stay as safe as possible.
Pack Light Fatigue is going to become much more of a concern as your hikes get longer, so you need to make the effort to counteract its effects and keep yourself as healthy as possible. In addition to taking along all of the food and water you will need for the hike, it is also a good idea to pack as light as possible so that you don’t get overburdened during your trek. Take A Windshirt You will need to take into account the possibility of weather conditions changing during the course of your hike, so it is vital that you pack kit to account for this. A good windshirt is light and will protect you from the elements when needed, making it a much better option that heavier jackets if you are wary about the effects of fatigue while on your hike. A Flashlight If you anticipate hiking for so long that it gets dark, you must take a flashlight along. Dr. Christian Heesch points out that a good flashlight, which should have new batteries and a fresh bulb, will allow you to stay on the trail and also make it easier to read maps or find other items in your kit.
