Phượt, which is a distinct form of travel, is preferred by young people. They can overcome hundreds of kilometers of difficult roads, or walk for hours to reach famous destinations and experience new feelings on each journey.
Unlike luxurious and fancy forms of travel, backpackers always love to explore and visit non-commercialized areas. The biggest difference is in the way they reach their destinations, choosing to be close to nature and pushing their own limits.
Aside from choosing appropriate clothing for the weather at your destination, here are some things to keep in mind to ensure your safety on the trip.
Clothing
The criteria for clothing for backpackers are to keep warm when it’s cold, allow ventilation when it’s hot, be easy to move in, and hard to tear. Choose clothes that cover the neck, the entire upper body, and up to the wrists. If the wrists are not covered, besides being exposed to the sun, in windy places, the handlebars can be tangled, causing danger when riding at high speeds.

Avoid wearing clothes that are too thick or too thin. Also, avoid clothes that are too loose or too tight. Comfort and convenience are the top priorities for backpacking trips. This advice is particularly important for female travelers. Instead of dressing up, choose comfortable outfits.
Footwear
Footwear is crucial. Only use sandals when wading through streams, and they should have a rear strap. When choosing shoes, pay attention to the size. They should fit your feet, have soft soles and grip the ground well, be durable, not too heavy, not easily soaked, and suitable for the terrain.
The most suitable shoes for hiking are leather boots that are slightly higher than the ankles, with rubber soles that have better grip on the rocks than soft plastic soles, and should be laced up. ‘Durable – grip on the ground’ should be the top criteria.
Nowadays, there are many shops dedicated to backpackers, where you can easily find shoes designed specifically for this type of trip.
Map
A map or directions are essential for every trip. This will prevent you from getting lost and help you find the shortest route to your destination.
This will save you time and energy. If you are traveling with a group, you should also agree on a common route to avoid unnecessary disputes along the way. Learn the rules when traveling in groups to ensure safety on your trip.
Other accessories
A backpack, protective gear such as gloves, ankle braces, knee pads, hats, and scarves are essential items for your trip to ensure your safety and well-being.

A backpack should not be too large or bulky, but should be of a moderate size and have secure straps.
In addition, you should also prepare other necessary items such as flashlights, first aid kits, food and drinks, and improve your physical fitness before embarking on your journey.
Tips for a Perfectly Packed Travel Adventure
