equipment Tips
Attention
-
backpack
It should be lightweight and provide good wearing comfort. Content: For professional packs 30-35 liters suffice. For those who like to bivouac more comfortably, it should already be 40-45 liter. -
Shoes
We strongly advise against road running shoes (training shoes) as they are not suitable for running in alpine and pre-alpine terrain, especially in wet and damp conditions! For athletes OL shoes are suitable with non-slip cam or tread sole. For hikers comfortable, lightweight hiking or trekking shoes with grippy outsole.
-
running Dress
Wind, cold and rain protection should always be ready to hand at the top in your backpack. For competitors: OL dress, jogging clothes. For hikers: hiking or walking clothes.
-
Tent
Lightweight tent with sewn-on bottom (already available at retail outlets under 1 kg). For very small tents, a plastic garbage bag helps to stow the backpack in the camp. -
Sleeping bag
Lightweight but warm down sleeping bag. "Rescue blankets" as a sleeping bag are not allowed, they do not breathe and the eternal crackle disturbs the necessary deep sleep (even your neighbors). An insulation mat is recommended as a base.
It should be noted that the bivouac is above 2000 m.ü.M. is pitched open and at this altitude during the night, even in the summer can be very cold!
-
Kocher
Cooker with a light, small pan, lighter or water-resistant matches. For professionals: a "collapsible" meat cheese-Aluform as pans and meta-tablets as fuel, stove with stones build yourself. Two to three dense plastic bags (two to three liters content) and a little string allow easy water transport and the creation of a water reserve at the tent. -
spare clothes
Dry, warm substitute underwear, pullover or fleece, all-body covering wind, cold and rain clothing (jacket and pants) and possibly socks (for professionals rich plastic bags as shoe inserts in the camp), cap and gloves for cold nights. -
between Meals
Isotonic drinks, chocolates, fruit slices, dried fruits, glucose, etc. Attention: From the beginning you can eat regularly and drink enough, even if you have to choke! As soon as you get hungry, it's already too late! -
Meals
There is only one principle to keep in mind: highest possible energy content, but small and light! It is very important to eat warm: soups, tea, ready meals etc. Take so much food that you can eat at the camp several times (in installments). The food is as important as the sleep! Guideline: 3000-5000 kcal. per person per day, depending on the course. -
