HIKING TIPS ON MOUNT CAMEROON

 Preparing to go for a hike
• Reduce pack weight: Take only what is needed for example reduce the water weight by taking fewer bottles if  there's water along the way (filtered water) rather than carrying  to drastically reduce pack weight.


• Tell someone where you're going and for how long.

• Mountain weather can turn on a dime—make sure you have appropriate rain gear.

• Hydrate before setting out.

• If it’s hot out, wear light-colored clothing, and hike in a thin, moisture-winking base layer to absorb and dry your sweat.

• Leave a change of clothes in your car. If you're wet at the end of your trip, you can have a dry ride home.


Things to take
• Duct tape. From clothing to gear, it fixes just about anything.

• Extra hip-belt buckle for your pack.

• Use lightweight, multipurpose utensil.

• A pocket knife is advisable.

• Use hydration packs all the way. Forget water bottle.
• Keep quick energy handy, like a juice, chocolate etc in your pocket.

• Take a basic first aid kit.
