How I Prepare for Long Hiking Trips in the Mountains

In this video, I'm preparing for my next 3-day hiking trip in the mountains. I've been in a lockdown for the past few weeks, which meant that I wasn't able to leave the city. As soon as the lockdown ends, I'll go hiking in the mountains and film a video from that hike. If you're new to hiking, or even if you're more experienced than me, you might learn something from seeing how I find a hiking trail, how I check out the weather forecast, how I prepare the navigation, how I choose what gear, clothing, and food to bring, and how I pack my backpack. ▼ TABLE OF CONTENTS 00:00 - Beginning 01:11 - Where to go & weather 03:13 - Finding a trail 04:52 - Navigation 06:00 - What gear to bring 08:41 - Clothing 09:26 - Food 11:20 - Packing my backpack 12:19 - Final words ▼ MY FULL GEAR LIST (affiliate links) Silverlight socks ➜ (Silverlight: https://alnk.to/4BECIUi) (15% discount code: hikemuch15) Osprey Talon 44 backpack (new model) ➜ (Amazon: https://amzn.to/3pZUZHK) Black Diamond Distance FLZ trekking poles ➜ (Amazon: https://amzn.to/3xkFazq) Water filter ➜ (Amazon: https://amzn.to/3riXlDf) Cicerone guidebook ➜ 54(https://www.cicerone.co.uk/the-gr11-trail-sixth) Set of 3 dry sacks ➜ (Amazon: https://amzn.to/3bTlwBB) Tent ➜ (Rei.com: https://www.rei.com/product/168564/rei-co-op-flash-air-1-tent) Camping pillow ➜ (Amazon: https://amzn.to/2MzzUWT) Decathlon Microfiber towel ➜ (Decathlon: https://www.decathlon.com/products/ultra-compact-microfiber-towel-size-m-26-x-35-158324) Sleeping pad ➜ (Rei.com: https://www.rei.com/product/157892/rei-co-op-flash-thermal-sleeping-pad) Cooking pot ➜ (Amazon: https://amzn.to/2NRcywv) Spork ➜ (Amazon: https://amzn.to/3b2moVk) Silicone camping cup ➜ (Amazon: https://amzn.to/37YIOoq) Cooking stove ➜ (Amazon: https://amzn.to/37W4SzS) Power bank ➜ (Amazon: https://amzn.to/3gmqRER) Headlamp ➜ (Amazon: https://amzn.to/37X41iH) Camera ➜ (Amazon: https://amzn.to/3r8OALH) Lense ➜ (Amazon: https://amzn.to/301mCWh) ND filter ➜ (Amazon: https://amzn.to/3q5GrX1) Camera mounted microphone ➜ (Amazon: https://amzn.to/3r7Yyge) GoPro Hero 7 ➜ (Amazon: https://amzn.to/3dXVpvO) Peak designs capture clip ➜ (Amazon: https://amzn.to/3dVRQq7) Fanny pack for my camera gear ➜ (Amazon: https://amzn.to/37UJfA4) Sunglasses ➜ (https://vallon.store/collections/shop-all/products/waylons-mirror) Sea to Summit trowel ➜ (Amazon: https://amzn.to/3iHAMGB) Gear Air repair kit ➜ (Amazon: https://amzn.to/3pXnnfq) Swiss Army Knife ➜ (Amazon: https://amzn.to/2MAHrVr) Decathlon Down Jacket Trek 100 ➜ (Decathlon: https://www.decathlon.com/products/mens-mountain-backpacking-down-jacket-trek500) Marmot PreCip rain jacket ➜ (Amazon: https://amzn.to/3gqiBE3) North Face beanie ➜ (Amazon: https://amzn.to/3zqR7pd) Decathlon Evadict Mt2 ➜ (Decathlon: https://www.decathlon.com/products/mens-trail-running-shoes-mt2-300547) ▼ FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA https://www.instagram.com/oscarbrumelis/ https://www.tiktok.com/@oscarhikes ▼ AFFILIATE DISCLOSURE In some of our videos and articles, we sometimes use affiliate links.
