Set - One day hiking - Basic

This season we received many questions from people who want to start hiking but get confused by the large selection.

What exactly is needed when going to explore one of the beautiful natural corners of the earth?

One of the main reasons people get confused is the variety of opinions about each item that can be taken on a hike.


Bag - For day hikes, we first look for bags by their size, or liters. A range from 18 to 30 liters will be suitable for short to long day hikes. A 26-30l bag will be useful in cold months or high mountain regions where you will need to put an extra layer of thicker clothes and possibly additional food/water and equipment for the planned route. An 18l bag is suitable for light summer hikes where you only need to take a few things with you.

Osprey Quasaris a 26l backpack that will be a great choice for those who are not sure how often and when they will go hiking. You can also use this backpack for everyday rush in the city. There will be enough space for a fall jacket and additional items in the backpack if someone from your family or friends decides to join you at the same time, and it will not be too heavy or large for summer walks by the sea. If the charm of the city tempts you, the laptop compartment and the front pocket with an organizer will also come in handy.

Hikelite 26 O/Sis a 26-liter hiking backpack suitable for those who know they want to go on short hikes all year round. There will be enough space for a fall sweater and a thermos, and it will be compact enough for summer walks.

Sportlite 20 O/Sis a 20-liter backpack for those who know that cold is not for them and plan to hike during the warm months of the year. There will be enough space for snacks, water, and a rain jacket, as well as a few other items. But it will be very light and compact. Perfect for those summer hikes when you don't need to carry much.

You must always be prepared for unexpected situations. Anything can happen on hikes, the short route can unexpectedly become much longer or take more time. Weather conditions can change. Getting lost from the planned route happens to both beginners and experienced travelers. Various situations will be much easier if you have the right equipment with you.

Even professionals get lost sometimes, so you should always carry something that will help you find the right direction.

Compass -Silva ClassicIf you are thinking about trying orienteering competitions and are looking for a professional compass with which you can improve your orienteering skills.

Even if night walks are not planned, a headlamp should be in the backpack; sometimes short hikes turn out to be much longer than planned, and then you will be ready to find your way even when daylight fails.

Headlamp -M-Tac Head lampUseful at home, on hikes, and while fishing. A simple headlamp that runs on 3 AAA batteries (not included).

If later you want to switch to a rechargeable battery or want the security of spare batteries in your bag, you will have the option to buy the battery separately.

When the day doesn't go as planned, that's exactly the day when matches will be wet and regular lighters will be empty. That's why Krama matches will be your safety guarantee and reliable companion in tough moments.
