Tips from book <BLISTERS AND BLISS>, 重要的黑体起来。
Carry tide tables and a watch. Leave yourself plenty of time to trek beach areas where tide levels make a difference.

• Use biodegradable soap products to give nature and other trekkers a break.
• Scrub your pots and pans with sand and ocean water. It is abundant, cheap, effective, and will not pollute.
Pack the heaviest items high and close to your back. This will keep the centre of gravity as normal as possible and improve your balance.
• Extra boot laces take little room and can serve as a clothesline, pack/tent repair kit, bedroll straps, etc. Who knows, you might even need them to tie up your boots!
Pack each meal in a separate plastic bag, then pack each day's meals in a common bag and label it. This method provides quick access to your food and reduces the chances of breakage due to handling.
• Leave glass containers at home. They are heavy, fragile and a source of pollution.
Bring a pair of running shoes or sandals to wear around the campsite. The comfort they bring is worth their weight in treasury bills.
Bring along a bladder from a wine or apple-juice box. You can keep several litres of water at your campsite and it collapses into a handful when you pack up.
• Pack stoves and fuel in plastic bags to keep spills and fumes contained. Stoves often have nasty edges, so cover them well.
• Prepare to treat all drinking water by filtering, boiling or iodine.
