We’re in the midst of summer. There is something about this season, long days that stretch into warm evenings and the anticipation of your next adventure. Summer is the perfect season to dust off your gear and get out in the fresh air. The best time to get stuck into a trek outdoors and immerse yourself in nature.

Heinnie Haynes are the premium source for the hardest kit on the planet, meaning they have everything you need for successful exploration. They’ve come up with seven useful outdoor tips to ensure you’re set for your next escapade.

Adventuring Tips

– Firstly stay hydrated, depending on the length of trip you’ve set yourself, extreme distances and terrain can be intensive. Make sure your performance isn’t affected by dehydration by drinking plenty of water or high-energy sports drinks. Also make sure you have enough and conserve your supply to ensure you don’t end up with a shortage on your return trip.

– Pick a lightweight quality backpack that will keep backache at bay. Also try and ensure you take the right amount of kit. There is nothing worse than setting up camp or shelter and finding that you have missed a vital ingredient for survival. Have a checklist and packdown arranged before you set off so that you can also move on quickly and efficiently if the tide turns and you need to escape changing conditions.

– Pack a torch. A torch is great for navigating if you don’t manage to make it home before sundown or you need to pitch your shelter in the dark. They’re also helpful in foggy situations high up in the mountains.

– If you’re adventuring in warmer climates, don’t forget your sunglasses. Being blinded by the sun as you’re trying to take in your surroundings and appreciate your environment can definitely zap the enjoyment out of it pretty quickly.

– Invest in a quality pair of walking boots or shoes. Especially as uncomfortable footwear will make you want to cut your trek short.

– Finally pack a first-aid kit. Whilst you hopefully won’t need it it’s important to be prepared for any possibility.

Do your Research

– Map out your plan and research your route well. Taking a wrong turn can add unexpected miles onto an expedition that you may not have prepared for.
