ADVICES TO PREPARE THE BACKPACK

The first is to choose a backpack that preferably is special for hiking and walking. If it is a trip of a few hours you can run a backpack everyday but comfortable. You must establish a list of things that need to carry in your backpack for your trip. Besides water and nonperishable food, it is important to bring:

-Very comfortable clothing: short or long appropriate fabrics, cotton shirts that allow ventilation and also cotton socks pants. 
-A utility knife or any other tool that allows us to solve small problems under different circumstances.A  lighter 
-Basic medicines: analgesics, muscle relaxants, bandages, iodine, gauze, stomach medicines, insect repellent and ointment for insect and neutral soap to wash any wounds. 
-Sunscreen, especially for the summer. 
-Other useful accessories such as map, compass, GPS, etc. 
-Mobile phone battery fully charged, because you never know if you have an emergency.

Arrange things in your backpack hiking intelligently. Those things that you will use most should go on top, while the things that use less or reached the end of the day must be at the bottom.

The backpack should be well balanced, so it is appropriate that the heaviest go in the middle and upper part of the hiking backpack.
