The 5 mistakes to avoid before going hiking

1. Underestimating the importance of good equipment

One of the most common mistakes is to go hiking with unsuitable equipment. A poorly designed backpack, unsuitable shoes or poorly breathable clothing can quickly turn the experience into a nightmare. At MyExplorer France , we offer quality equipment that guarantees comfort and safety, whatever the weather conditions.

2. Neglecting weather conditions

Many hikers head out without checking the weather forecast, which can be dangerous. Hiking in pouring rain without waterproof clothing or in intense heat without UV protection can cause serious problems. Make sure to always check the weather forecast and adapt your gear accordingly with our waterproof jackets and protective accessories.

3. Leaving without good physical preparation

Hiking, even on accessible trails, requires a lot of physical effort and endurance. Not being physically prepared can lead to muscle pain, excessive fatigue and increase the risk of injury. It is essential to warm up, train gradually and choose ergonomic and lightweight equipment, available at MyExplorer France .

4. Poorly managing your diet and hydration

Many hikers set off without enough water or proper nutrition. Hydration is essential, especially in the summer, and poor resource management can lead to dehydration and exhaustion. Our filter bottles and nutrition accessories are here to help you stay fit throughout your journey.

5. Not telling someone your itinerary

Leaving without warning a loved one or without leaving directions is a mistake that can have serious consequences in the event of an unforeseen event. Always informing someone of your itinerary and carrying a headlamp or emergency whistle, available at MyExplorer France , can make all the difference in the event of a problem.

Conclusion

A successful hike is based on good preparation and adequate equipment.
