If you are walking in the mountains this means that you need a minimum of equipment that can offer you comfort, but above all safety.

Losing the path or making a wrong assessment is not something strange or something that you can be sure will not happen to you. Fortunately, because otherwise everything would be very boring. According to statistics, getting lost is the No. 1 reason hikers call rescue teams, not injury or bad weather as you might imagine, and it's not hikers who walk in remote or difficult places and mountains, but hikers who do a simple, day hike in popular mountains and areas. Inexperienced, untrained one-day hikers are becoming the norm on the trails, and technology provides all the tools for this. People are so dependent on GPS on city streets that they don't develop any practice to find "their" way, let alone in an environment foreign to them like the mountain. If for any reason access to technology is not possible or interrupted, they find themselves "lost in the middle of nowhere"!! There are also those who believe that knowing how to start a fire by rubbing branches and stones will save them from freezing, or that carrying a survival knife or eating worms and lichen will save them from starvation. Nicely romantic, but very naive. You can start a fire with a simple box of matches or a lighter as long as it is dry, and as for hunger, even if you only have 10% body fat, you will be able to endure it for three to four weeks. What is the most important thing that someone should definitely learn to do? To be properly equipped and trained, not only to be able to find their way without a GPS, but also for the possibility of not being able to turn back – for whatever reason, in time. For a one-day hike, what should I put in my backpack? In the mountains, conditions can easily change and that's when your equipment will show its value.
