I've had backpacking trips that included rain, snow, lightning, rockslides, altitude sickness, and twenty-mile days – all in a summer weekend.我已經背包旅行，包括雨，雪，閃電，岩崩，高原反應，以及20英里的天-都在一個夏天的週末。 Wilderness trips can be dangerous, but you can make then less so, by having the following ten essentials in your backpack.野外旅行是危險的，但你可以再少的話，具備了以下10個要點在您的背包。

1. Knowledge. What good is a compass if you don't know how to use it? 知識。又有什麼好處呢指南針，如果你不知道如何使用它？ Play with matches if your fire-making skills are shaky.玩火柴，如果你的防火決策技巧是搖搖欲墜。 Learn what to do when you see a bear.學會怎樣做當你看到一隻熊。 Read a little, practice a little – knowledge is more likely to save you than gadgets.讀一點，實踐一點-知識更有可能為您節省超過小工具。
2. Map and compass . 地圖和指南針 。 These are together, because that's the way you need to use them.這些都是在一起，因為這是你需要的方式使用它們。
3. Matches and lighter. Bring both, or waterproof matches and a fire starter of some sort. 火柴和打火機。帶兩，或防水火柴和火啟動某種形式的。 Having two ways to start a fire is much safer.有兩種方法來啟動消防安全得多。
4. First aid kit. Buy a pre-packaged one or build your own. 急救包。購買預先包裝的一個或建立自己的。 Make sure it has pain relievers, bandages, disinfectant, and notes on basic first aid procedures.請確保它有止痛藥，繃帶，消毒，並注意到基本的急救程序。
5. Foot care . 足部護理 。 Your first aid kit needs moleskin, and maybe a pin, to treat blisters.您的急救包需要鼴鼠皮，也許一針，治療水泡。 Your feet have to be well cared for when you're hiking miles from the nearest road.你的腳已經得到很好的照顧，當你徒步旅行距離最近的道路。
6. Water purification . 水淨化 。 A filter works, but they clog and break so often that you should have a small bottle of iodine tablets or other water purification as back up.過濾器，但是，他們堵塞，打破常常，你應該有一個小瓶子的碘片或其他水的淨化作為備份。

Make your own list if you take regular backpacking trips.建立自己的清單如果你經常背包旅行。 It's no fun when a friend tells us ten miles down the trail that he's allergic to bees and forgot his medicine.這不好玩，當一位朋友告訴我們降低10英里的山路，他對蜜蜂過敏忘了他的藥。 A little planning means less worries, and a better trip.稍加規劃，意味著更少的憂慮，和更好的旅行。
