What daily equipment does a mountain climber need?

　　water bottle

　　High-altitude mountainous areas are quite dry and cold, so you need to drink enough water to prevent dehydration and maintain physical fitness. Carrying a one-liter water bottle is enough. However, if the environment is too hot and you sweat a lot, you will need to carry two water bottles. The best water bottles are polyethylene products with wide mouths, which are easier to reuse and store snow. At the same time, water unlike aluminum products will have a smell, but when using aluminum products, be careful not to confuse it with fuel oil. A thermos bottle is a very important item, especially during the snow season. Generally, a half-liter water bottle is enough for drinking water in suburban mountains.

　　Sunscreen oil and lip balm

　　The intensity of sunlight in high-altitude mountainous areas is several times higher than that at the seaside, which is harmful to the comfort and safety of the human body. healthy There is a certain impact. It is unavoidable to be exposed to the sun for a long time during the climb. You must cover yourself with clothes or sunscreen. skin Reduce the degree of exposure to ultraviolet rays. Although the human body has natural pigment synthesis that can protect the skin from exposure to sunlight, do not underestimate the intensity of sunlight. It can cause lesions, such as skin cancer.

　　Multiply the SPF by 10. The average person will get sunburned if they stand in the sun for 30 minutes, and a sunscreen of 10 can block the sun for 300 minutes. Therefore, it is better to buy a sunscreen of 15 or above. The nose, ears, and lips of the human body are sensitive parts. Although clothing is the best way to protect your skin, it is quite uncomfortable on hot days. Most sunscreens use p-aminobenzoiccid (PABA) products. If you are allergic to this product, you can use other sunscreen oil with the same SPF. When climbing on glaciers or in snow, you must use sunscreen oil with an SPF higher than 15. Wipe the exposed skin, especially the inside of the chin, nose, and ears, because the reflected light of the sun will be exposed. Some brands advertise waterproof and long-lasting effects. When you sweat a lot, decide on the appropriate brand. , use Actor'sgreasepaint (clownwhite) orzincoxidepastes, which is the best sunscreen and the grease is not easy to wash off. The former is often used in rock climbing activities. Do not wipe it except for the fingers and the parts on the back of the equipment. However, the disadvantage is that it is not easy to clean after wiping. You need to use detergent and it feels dirty. The area around the mouth is easy to grow after long-term exposure to the sun. blister It is best for climbers to use lip balm to protect their lips. The lip balm must not be easy to clean, not disappear due to sweating, and not easy to be licked off. The lip balm should preferably be (ZincoxideandlipblamscontainingPA BAarebothgood.) and must be wiped frequently and repeatedly.

　　repellent

　　The wild is full of all kinds of insects waiting for animals to eat their bodies, such as mosquitoes, flies, ticks, and other insects that suck human blood. Not everyone is accustomed to wearing long-sleeved and thicker clothes in hot weather, so they use insect repellents. Drugs usually containing N, N-diethyl-metatoluamide (DEET) are quite effective in repelling insects, especially against mosquitoes. Some use high doses of DEET. It can last for several hours and keep mosquitoes away. This type of product is made under many trade names. Different dosages and different types have different effects. Although DEET has no significant effect on flies, adding ethyl-hexanediol and dimethylphthalate can increase the best effect on blackflies. Deerflies and gnats can cause ticks in the human body. disease . For example, Lymedisease and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, when traveling in these countries, you must check your clothes and hair every day, and check carefully at night to prevent them from being buried in the skin. If you find that they are quickly coated with thick oil (mineral.salad..etc) to close their breathing holes, they will evacuate immediately. If they do not leave, keep the oil for half an hour, and then carefully use pliers to remove the whole body. If it is buried too deep, surgery will be required to remove the head.

　　newspaper

　　When it rains during the climb, after the camp is established, newspapers can be stuffed into the boots to have a dehumidifying effect. When dining in the tent, place newspapers under the tableware.

　　water bag

　　When using plastic water bags, the cap of the faucet must be tightened to prevent the cap from falling off during use and causing a large amount of water to spill. It is best to lay the filled water bag flat or hang it up to avoid being punctured by branches. It is best to place it in a tent during the snow season, or use bottled water instead, because water bags can easily freeze and break. Be sure to check whether there are holes in the water bag before traveling to avoid being caught off guard and running out of bottled water. During the snow season, wide-mouthed water bottles are less likely to freeze. When melted snow is placed in a pot, some water must be added to prevent the pot from burning.
