Health information

 

Health Information

Prevention is better than cure

The long-distance travelers will expose their body to several unusual factors. Among them foreign food, climate and time changes or poor hygienic conditions. With proper precaution, you can prevent disease while traveling.
Informieren Sie sich selbst. zur rechten Zeit vor Reiseantritt bei Ihrem Arzt über die Impfung und die möglichen gesundheitlichen Risiken in Ihren Bestimmungsort oder aufwww.tropenmedicus.de.

Some tips for health care:

  • Do not eat unpeeled or uncooked food, no ice cream and avoid ice cubes
  • Do not drink tap water and use this not to brush your teeth
  • From mosquito bites you protect yourselves best with a mosquito net and by wearing bright, long arm and leg clothing.
  • Do not walk barefoot in the tropics and do not swim in stagnant water, as there worms and snails can get into the body and can cause diseases
  • Seek advice before the journey in putting together your first aid kit from your doctor or pharmacist
  • Before alpine tours you should be advised by an expert doctor and looked on existing diseases.Also, you should visit the dentist before.
  • Early enough before alpine tours you should start with a regular endurance training several times a week. Even before the departure you should be in excellent physical condition.
Should you become ill after your holiday, you have to inform your doctor about the time, spent abroad during the last half a year.

 

Equipment Information

 

Clothing

Depending on the chosen tour, you need special clothing. Note that when purchasing a coordinated "onion" principle. So named the structure when clothes are used with various strata, each of which assumes a specific function.This means you are well prepared for all eventualities and can choose according to your trip.

 

For example such a structure could be:

 
  • Functional underwear, consisting of a top and panties
  • Shirt or blouse made of microfiber
  • Trousers made of quick-drying material
  • jacket or sweater made of fleece material or synthetic wool blend, reasonably with a Windstopper membrane
  • GORE-TEX ® Jacket
  • GORE-TEX ® Overtrousers
  • Down Jacket

Underwear

In recent years functional underwear of wool from Merino sheeps supersedes due to their benefits synthetic models, more and more. Benefits of Merino wool are:

  • Regulation of body temperature and moisture
  • Does not scratch.
  • Easy to clean in the washing machine
  • No body odor formation
  • Warmer than synthetic fibers
  • The body remains dry, even if periods of exertion followed by resting periods.

You should buy several sets, so you can wear a set, while the other dries quickly after washing.

Trekking socks

The socks contribute in large measure to the comfort of the shoe. They are cushioning and buffering moisture that the lining can not hold anymore. Thus, they keep the feet dry that is the basic condition for a blister-free trekking.

 

The thickness and the used material do not mcuh influence the warmth, but the ability to store cushioning and moisture.

 

Wool can absorb a lot of moisture, remains dimensionally stable and limits odor formation.

 

Synthetic fibers dry very fast, but they can catch just little moisture and they do not always smell pleasantly. Modern fiber blends have this under control.

 

The new shoes you should always try with the same socks, which you will wear during traveling.

 

Good hiking socks transport moisture outwards and thereby they keep the foot dry and warm. Trekking socks are available in different versions. Brand new on the market are socks with inlaid silver ions. These prevent from forming of bacterias, and reduce the odor to a minimum.

Shoes

Hiking:

Mid-high shoes with good grip made of lightweight materials are sufficient.

Trekking / Hiking:

Here preference is a good ankle support and robust materials with less sutures.

Mountaineering / Alpinism:

You need a good ankle support but also room to move. Leather offers the best protection. In modern shoes are made compromises with inserts made of reinforced synthetic fibers for greater comfort and less weight.

General information:

  • For day trips leather is recommended. At all temperatures it is breathable, long-lasting, and because of its high moisture absorption capacity it is good for your foot comfort.
  • In the coldness synthetic fibers have the advantage that they dry faster than leather, and thus the cooling effect stays away.
  • Membranes and coatings are protecting against moisture that can penetrate from outside into the shoe.However they reduce the breathability and therefore they are more useful for multi-day tours. The lining must absorb just the sweat, and thus the shoe normally is dry at the next morning.
  • The less experienced and secure you are, the more the shoe should support.So stability in the sole and the upper structure. The same applies to body weight and greater pathlessness of the terrain.
  • A A distinctive heel is necessary!
  • If you use crampons, you should test them with the new shoes!
  • Get advice when buying your shoes at a specialist shop.

Fitting:

For buying and trying on new shoes, you need time. Go into the shop in the afternoon, because feet are getting thicker during the day. Try the shoes together with the trekking socks that you will wear on the way. Pay attention especially to the fit of the heel. In any case the heel mustn't slip in the shoe. Walk in the shop on a sloping surface up and down. Your toes should not abut the front of the shoe.

Shrinkage & Care:

Maintain new shoes before the first wearing according to the maintanance instructions. Before your first major tour you should break in your new shoes.

Equipment

Here are some tips for general equipment:

Thermo mat

During some travels thermo mats are available or can be leased locally. Mostly these must be brought with you. Self inflatable thermo mats are recommended, they allow very comfortable sleep. The disadvantage is that they lose their sleeping comfort if there is a small hole in it. Therefore, it is advisable to bring a special repair kit from a specialist shop.

Trekking poles

For long treks with big height differences and in rough terrain, trekking poles provide a welcome support. In order to bring the desired relief for joints and security, trekking poles must be used in pairs. For transport it should be possible to telescope them to lengh of 75 cm.What kind of sticks you use is up to you.

Crampons

For the sucess of some climbing routes, crampons are required or recommended. The crampons should already be adapted to the appropriate shoes at home. Crampons are recommended of 10 or 12 jags.

Travel bag

For transporting your luggage during the trek a hardwearing travel bag in most cases is the appropriate equipment. For some regions a waterproof duffel bag is advisable. For some trips a bag or a suitcase with sturdy wheels and an extendable handle is well-suited. Please note your equipment checklist.

Sleeping bag

Good night sleep is especially important on the tour. Only then body can recover from the exertions of the day. Unfortunately, there is no universal sleeping bag. To support your buying decision here are some details:

Down or synthetic fiber?

In order that the sleeping bag can function as a heat reservoir, air must be stored in it. This is done by down or synthetic fibers. Both kinds of stuffing have advantages and disadvantages.

 

Advantages:

  • Long-lasting
  • Optimum ratio of insulation, weight and packing size
  • Comfortable sleeping ambience, because downs can absorb body moisture.
  • Lightweight and small

Disadvantages:

  • Must be regularly aired and dried, as downs can clump under prolonged moisture and then lose their insulating effect.
  • Dries more slowly than synthetic fibers.
  • Relatively expensive

The quality of the downs depends on the individual animal and its habitat. This leads to the differences in the cost of down sleeping bags.

Synthetic fibers sleeping bag:

Advantages:

  • Insensitive to moisture
  • Dries quickly.
  • Cheaper than downs

Disadvantage:

  • Shorter durability
  • Isolatation is not so good.
  • Sleeping ambience is not as comfortable as in a down sleeping bag
  • Heavy and bulky

Backpack

The most important for every backpack is its wearing comfort. When you buy you should make sure that it is tailored precisely to your back. Pelvis and shoulder belt must be adjusted individually. The length of the back section must be tailored to your back length. Especially for long trips, where you have to carry heavy baggage, you should follow this advice.
