10: Hiking too far in new boots

(不要穿著嶄新的登山鞋直接上高山長途登山徒步)

Most modern light hiking boots don’t need a long break-in period. Too bad the only way to know for Sure is to try them out on the trail. Do yourself a favor: play it safe, start with something short, and save yourself from days of nasty blisters.

9. Leaving bite valves open

(記得關閉水袋或是水瓶的封口，以免弄溼了隨身的重要裝備)

The 1990s were a dark time: boy bands were on the radio, jeans were 10 sizes too large, and the best show on television was about a bunch of 『Friends』 who spent all their time stuck in the city. Adding insult to injury, your trusty hydration bladder bite valve would leak at the slightest bump. Countless soaked tents and sleeping bags later, bladder producers have graced us with a solution: the shut off valve. Now it is just up to us to use it.

8. Forgetting the declination

(地圖歸北很重要，但是在使用指北針的時候，要記得修正"地磁偏角")

Have a map and compass? Nice work. But while maps orient toward grid north, your compass points towards magnetic north, which is slightly different. To get it right, adjust your 「declination,」 the difference between true and magnetic north, before you leave.

7. Leaving food in your pack

(妥善收藏食物，以免招來其他動物，甚至於是熊類的覬覦)

Sure, everyone worries about bears, but you should also fear the kangaroo rat. Right now it’s eating seeds, but it would much rather eat all your tasties. If you don’t want your expensive pack turned into Swiss cheese, you』d better make sure all those snacks make it to the bear bag.

6. Letting your boot laces snap

(多準備一雙鞋帶，以備不時之需)

All it takes is one shoelace snap and your super-sweet boot becomes a hellish blister-torture device. Keep one of these on your wrist and you』ll always have a backup.

5. Bringing an empty fuel canister

(攜帶足夠份量的氣罐，並且確認氣罐的剩餘容量，更不要帶到空的氣罐)

Unless you want to be the jerk who keeps everyone from their morning coffee, you better keep track of exactly how much fuel is really left in that canister.

4. Storing gear wet

(所有的戶外裝備，在潮溼的環境中使用過後，一定要陰乾，充分乾燥後，才可以妥善收藏)

After a rainy weekend on the trail the last thing you want to do is unpack and dry all your gear. But assuming you don’t love the smell of mildew, a few minutes after each trip can save you a ton of scrubbing later.

3. Loading your pack incorrectly

(正確的背包打包方式，讓你參加戶外徒步登山活動更加的省力、舒適)

An unbalanced pack will have you wobbling all over the trail, working much harder than need be just to stay upright. Keep the heaviest items tight against your spine and you should do just fine. More questions? Check out our Gear School.

2. Pointing bear spray into the wind

(準備防熊噴霧罐，等到熊接近到50碼距離內時再使用之)

FACT: Bears are awesome. ANOTHER FACT: Spraying yourself in the face with bear spray is not awesome. To do it right, keep the wind at your back, wait until the bear is within 50 feet, and leave as soon as the bear retreats.

1. Forgetting…whatever

(準備一張裝備檢查表，確保所有該帶的重要裝備，不會遺落在家中)
