Come and see what you have committed

After trying to see it no longer makes the same mistake

Let outdoor travel in 2018 be more enjoyable

1. Tent the tent does not pull wind rope

The wind rope is not only windproof, but its more important role is to separate the tent from the tent and the full tent. After the internal and external accounts are effectively separated, the condensed water from the external accounts will not wet the sleeping bags and clothing in the internal accounts.

There are too many friends who don't pull windproof ropes when they set up a tent. Many people think that this thing is optional or not. It can be used when there is no wind. This is the one that makes the most mistakes.

2. Directly hit nails

It is common for many people to hit the ground and hit a 90-degree angle. This is not to say that this method must be wrong, but a better method is to use the angle of 45-60 degrees outside the corner to do so. Can withstand the maximum.

When some friends pull the wind rope, the wind rope is tied, this usage is very wrong, and does not say whether it can be tightened to the best position after the wind rope, even if it can be pulled tightly, the tent is in use Many times when shaking will make the wind rope loose, so the role of wind rope will gradually lose.

In fact, there will be a three-hole slide on the wind rope, some of which are plastic and some of which are metal. The role is one, that is, you can use this slide to tighten the wind rope. Another point to mention again: When you nail it, you must level it first when you hit the account.

3. Use trekking poles without wristbands

Seeing too many friends holding trekking poles is like using a wooden stick.

In fact, one of the most important items in the trekking pole design is its wristband. When in use, tighten the wrist strap to the wrist and tighten it to a suitable position. When walking, use the arm-arm-arm's inertia to press the wrist to help oneself instead of just relying on the power of the hand. In that case, it will quickly become fatigued. .

There are also common mistakes when using trekking poles: when adjusting the length, many people do not lock the bottom section into the standard card position. The bottom section of the trekking pole is usually conical if it is in the standard card position. If the front is locked, there will be gaps between the lever body and the latches, which will easily cause breakage or damage of the latches. Therefore, this section should be placed on the length line of the rod and the overall length should be adjusted with the above sections.

4. Not using outdoor backpack properly

Speaking of big bags, many people may feel back to the back and fasten their belts and shoulder straps. There are still a lot of people who are uncomfortable, leaving the wrong one to choose the wrong backpack, just to talk about the correct adjustment and use of backpacks, how can make you more comfortable.

The worst thing about the belt is that the belt is really buckled in the softest part of the waist. Although the belt is called, but the buckle position should be in the position of the human hip protrusion, using the hip skeleton to support the weight of the backpack, if you are tied to the waist, will be very uncomfortable, and will not play a real role .

Shoulder straps, this issue is more in-depth. To adjust the backpack's carrying system to make the shoulder straps around their shoulders best, many people do not achieve this effect when they are actually used. There are some gaps in the back part of the shoulders, and some are still quite large. The role of the piggyback system will also be reduced.

Center of gravity adjustment strap, this strap is an adjustable strap attached to the top of your shoulder strap to the back of the back, sometimes in white or other different colors. This strap is used to adjust the position of the center of gravity of the backpack. When tightened, the weight of the bag can be adjusted to the part close to your entire body.

Usually this band will have two different heights to choose from, you can choose according to the length of the bearer has been adjusted, when you lift the bag to fasten the belt to tighten the shoulder strap, you can tighten the strap, this The ideal angle between the root strap and your shoulder strap is 20-30 degrees. Not using gravity adjustment bands is one of the mistakes many newcomers make.

5. Equipment maintenance, improper storage

Sleeping bags, tents, and especially self-inflating cushions, the best way to save them after going outdoors is to leave them clean and dry before storing them.

The sleeping bag is best placed flat on it, like a quilt, it is best not to press things on it. Or if there is a separate sleeping bag storage bag, put it inside. Do not tighten in the compression bag as long compression will affect the bulkiness of the bag.

The tent stacks the inner and outer tent fabrics. Do not tighten in the compression bag. Because of long-term compression, wrinkles will form on the outer tent and the bottom of the bill, which will affect the life of the tent.

Since the inflatable cushion must be unscrew the mouth, let it be stored in the natural state of inflation. If you use the habit of replenishing your mouth when using it in the wild, it's best to let the gas nozzle open and allow the moisture to come out slowly after you come back. The foam inside the inflatable cushion is a self-filling material. This material can be fatigued. If it is stored for a long time, it will be weak in the future.

The correct maintenance equipment can effectively extend the service life. Apply a word of financial management: "You do not manage money, finances ignore you", where you can change the 'rich' into 'equipment'.

6. Wrong washing, drying

Each kind of clothing, using different fabrics, its composition may be different. Whether it can be machine-washed, whether softener can be added, whether it can be dry-cleaned, and so on, in fact, the simplest way is to look at the washing logo.

Sleeping bags, tents, backpacks, and underwear equipment are best left to dry, especially tent tents, avoid exposure. These products are polyester or nylon materials, exposure to its life will have an impact.

If you lend to a friend's tent, you don't care to put it on the side after returning, and when you want to use it, you don't need to find it. The reason is that you haven't dried it before you put it away. It is also often seen that some friends make this mistake, and even severely affect the pressure on the bottom of the book and on the outside, resulting in a drop in waterproof performance.

7. Ask the experts to recommend the brand

Simply asking which brand is good, or asking which brand is better than a certain brand, is a wrong approach. It is difficult for others to answer you “correctly”!

Each brand will have its own product category, and each person's perception of the brand when using the product will be different. No matter the master or novice, they will have their own preferred brand. Therefore, it is difficult to ask the ideal answer if you simply ask the brand.

8 want to go directly to the master recommended equipment

Where do you go, my friends, you must do your homework first? Do you want to bring down jackets to Tibet? Do you want to go to Mexico to bring tents or play Yangshuo? What kind of bags do you use? Even these most basic lessons are not done. What are you going to play? ?

Suggestions: Friends who want to ask questions like this are better off doing their homework first. At least you have to know what climate you are going to, where you are going to go for a few days, how much you need to bring, how high is the elevation, how much money you have to spend... and what else you don’t understand, can be targeted Sexual questions.

9. Blindly recommend outdoor equipment

Is this backpack good or bad? How is the performance of this garment? I want to buy a hiking bag please help recommend? It is normal to see this kind of problem as soon as possible, but to tell you this is not a correct question.

Each outdoor product has its own corresponding use environment. For example, backpacks, heavy bags, light bags, technical bags, etc. are used in different environments. Everyone is tall, fat, thin, and has different body and bones. The equipment that can adapt to you will be different.

Suggestion: There are not many products that can be recommended in the equipment. Sleeping bags, mats, stoves, and other items are only related to technical indicators, and equipment that is not related to human body is recommended. As long as you can determine the external factors such as the environment, season, etc., you can recommend more suitable products. But backpacks, clothing, and shoes, which are geared to fit people's body, are not recommendable, good or bad, only your back and your toes can tell you.

10. Please recommend a cost-effective brand

I am sure that I want to buy good equipment at low prices. Many people are the same. Apart from a few wealthy people who are willing to spend more money to buy their faces, most of them think so. This is not a mistake.

But why is this a mistake? In fact, many people are asking questions like this. Actually, they are asking if there are any cheaper brands that can be recommended and they are not asking about cost-effectiveness. What is cost performance? It is the comparison of performance and price. Please note that we are looking for a product with lower performance with the same performance. Many people do not care about performance at all, but just think that products of the same name blindly hope that prices will be cheaper. Then directly ask cheaper goods, and don't ask about the price/performance ratio.
