Hiking equipment is the equipment taken on outdoor walking trips. Hiking is usually divided into day-hikes and multiple-day hikes, called backpacking, trekking, and walking tours. The equipment selected varies according to the duration, distance, planned activities, and the environment. Additional factors include weight and preparedness for unplanned events. The level of preparedness can relate to remoteness and potential hazards; for example, a short day hike across farmland or trekking in the Himalayas. The length and duration of a walk can influence the amount of weight carried. The nature of a hike is both by the natural environment and the applicable government regulations and hikers plan accordingly when considering equipment. To minimize the impact on the natural environment, many hikers follow the principles of "Leave No Trace." == Planning and checklists == According to Tom Brown, the basic plan for survival is in the order of shelter (including clothing), water, fire, and food. Cody Lundin writes about the "Rule of 3s"; this relates to human survival without basics: 3 minutes without air, 3 hours without shelter, 3 days without water, or 3 weeks without food. Hikers may take with them equipment ranging from a stout knife〔 to ultralight backpacking (10-25 pounds), to the heaviest, most durable gear a hiker can carry. Checklists help to minimize the chance of forgetting something important.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=ISU.edu )〕 〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=LakeDistrict.gov.uk )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=REI.com )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Backpacker.com )〕 Specific hiking equipment considerations may include; * Optimal weight and capacity * Special medical considerations * Weather: temperature range, sun/shade, rain, snow, ice * Terrain: trail conditions, cliffs, sand, swamp, river crossings * Shelter & clothes * Water plan * Food * Overnight shelter * Protection from animals: insect repellent, anaphylactic medication, snakebite first-aid, antivenom, mace, bear spray, bear-resistant food storage container * Equipment for special activities 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hiking equipment」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
