What should you take to trek in the forest?
We'll start with the clothes. Currently, special jackets and trousers based on polypropylene fiber - one of the most optimal solutions. These things are not afraid of mechanical damage, quickly dry and easy to wear off. Under the bottom is quite enough simple T-shirts.
Pay attention to the cut of clothes for trekking in the forest - this is not the place for fashion shows, because the tight silhouette does not exactly fit. Ideally, pants are very loose in the hips, slightly narrowing downwards. It is this cut that makes it possible to feel comfortable, but do not be afraid that something will get under the pant leg.
When it comes to choosing clothes to go to the forest for a few days, you should take a spare T-shirt, several pairs of socks. In the cold season, do not be afraid to invest in a good thermal underwear. For this holiday there are special shoes.

In such conditions, shoes with a high sole, a well protected socks and preferably a size larger are required. Do not be lazy to look for waterproof pockets for clothes, because going to the forest is a risky business, so that documents and mobile will not interfere.

But in any case, there are things that are always necessary for any options. Below we will consider a list of equipment for a trip to the forest, which can not be called exaggerated:
