Five Mistakes Every Hiker Makes!

Whether you are a seasoned pro or a complete newbie, we all make mistakes in the outdoors. Luckily, Emilia and Bruce are on hand to help you avoid them!

The first, and perhaps most common, is not being bold! Emilia advises to be bold and go cold, as you heat up quickly on your descent and can always add layers.

The second mistake made is wearing bad clothing on your pursuits. Although double denim looks AMAZING, as shown by Emilia, it isn’t suitable for hiking and will leave you feeling uncomfortable! A better approach is the layering system – wearing a base layer, a mid-layer, an insulated jacket, and finally a waterproof jacket – Berghaus is the ideal choice! And don’t forget suitable shoes!

The third mistake, shared by Bruce, is over or under-packing. Make sure you don’t pack too heavy, but also ensure that you are prepared for the unpredictability of the outdoors!

Emilia shares the fourth and perhaps most important mistake – not having enough food or water. Maybe you can bring some healthy trail snacks like Emilia or just a good old pack of Haribos like Bruce – whatever it is that keeps you well-fuelled for your hike.

And finally, the last mistake is not taking hiking poles. They are great for ascents but even better for descents – taking the weight off your pack and pressure off your knees.

Now you know how to avoid these mistakes, hit the trails in comfort! Shop the full Berghaus Range here: https://www.tiso.com/berghaus/
