Required equipment and items for a trekking and mountaineering expedition
Equipment to start your mountain expedition depends upon various factors such length and type of trip, physical structure of the terrain, weather condition of the area, availability of food and shelter, and remoteness of the location. The most important is type and category of your trip such as hiking or trekking with basic level or medium level of skills, climbing or mountaineering having advance and expert level of skills. Hiking in plains is entirely different as compare to rocky terrains of high-altitude mountain ranges. Availability of shelter and food is another crucial planning element, so your luggage size varies upon this condition.
