What is Trekking?
Before mentioning what trekking is, it is necessary to examine the origin of the word. The word trekking is derived from the English word “trek”. The word trek in its origin defines the phrase “a long journey on foot”. Generally, hiking and trekking activity are often confused with each other. Hiking describes short-distance activities that are mostly done daily. However, trekking, as the name suggests, defines long-term and wide-distance journeys that can take days. You can do trekking to make an exciting camping holiday more fun and adventurous. For this, you can join the trekking groups in the region. If you don't think or plan to pack your bags while going for a walk, it means you're starting a trekking trip. Especially since trekking is a long-term activity with many equipment, it also means the same as "bacpacking", that is, backpacking. “I don't get bored, tired or think of turning around while walking for a long time!” If you say so, we definitely recommend you to do trekking, where you will discover different points of nature.
How to do trekking?
It is a matter of curiosity how it is done by campers who are devoted to trekking. You can do trekking, that is, long nature walks, alone or with a group. Whatever the shape, the most important thing you need for trekking is a route. After creating the long hiking route, you can set out to the depths of the forest on your own. However, this is a method that more professionals can afford. If you do not have enough camping experience, you should definitely do trekking with a group. In trekking groups formed with more than one person, the tour route is determined in advance. All you have to do is prepare your bag and take all the equipment with you. In this way, you can take a long walk by listening to the group's guide. In trekking, the eye-catching spots of nature are discovered during the day. In the evening, tents are set up and pleasant conversations begin. At this point, the most important thing you should pay attention to while trekking is to leave everything as it is. While discovering the beauties that nature offers you with trekking, you should leave the areas you step on as clean as you found them. In this way, you can make a professional trekking.
Trekking Equipment
Since trekking is a long-term activity that will satisfy your spirit of adventure in itself, the equipment list is of great importance. Before embarking on a comprehensive trekking journey, you need to make sure that the materials are complete and sufficient. At this point, the most important thing you need before preparing the equipment is a large and portable backpack. When choosing a backpack suitable for trekking, you should make sure that it is in a volume where your belongings can fit rather than fit your body. At this point, the stage of preparing for a comfortable walk after choosing the bag is also important. Otherwise, you may be subject to an object sinking strong enough to interrupt your long journeys. You can take a look at the article titled "Tips about the camping bag" that we have prepared in order not to be exposed to such negativities.
While trekking, personal needs must be met alone. For this, you can put all items such as food and drink, hygiene, clothes or first aid in the bag. You can get help from comfortable and weather-resistant fabrics when choosing suitable clothes for trekking. In addition, for a comfortable trekking experience, you can choose outdoor shoes that are resistant to rough terrain. After meeting your clothing needs, you can include dried foods that meet your energy needs on long trips. Since these foods are deaerated, they protect themselves against spoilage in a short time. Thus, you can meet your food and beverage needs in a short time. You may want to carry water with you, especially as your water needs will increase during the walk. However, this is not necessary. You will pass by clean water sources many times during the trekking. In this way, you can meet your water needs to a large extent. Finally, you need to have a comfortable sleep at night during the trekking. For this, you should take equipment such as a sleeping mat or overalls with you. We have listed the basic equipment that you should have with you during trekking. However, you need to act knowing that these equipment may decrease or increase depending on the weather conditions and the season. For this, you can get help from the group guide or experienced people before you start trekking.
