Such headgear, insulated only, save the athletes and tourists from the cold in winter. Balaclava mask is applied in different areas - and it protects from prying eyes, and from frost, wind, moisture, UV light.

List of Items for Camping and Hiking

Tue, 17 Jan 2017 10:08:00 +0000

•Tent

The choice of tents now huge and sometimes to decide what kind of need, it is very difficult. In my opinion, the main thing was waterproof. The size, in fact, it does not matter if you're going to carry around things on the car and do not plan to go on a long hike, when you have to carry gear for yourself. In this case, you cannot waste time on trifles, and take the tent bigger. Experience has shown that it is easier than in a small crowded.

•Sleeping bag

Sleeping bag chooses simpler than the tent. The main thing - do not freeze. As it turned out, in some national parks at night it is very, very cold. For example, the morning temperature dropped. So choose a sleeping bag is better for extreme values of temperature, which expects to encounter.

•Mat

Pad (some also call it the "foam") - something necessary and useful, because it helps to smooth out all the rough stones dug into his back, twigs and knobs, plus sleep on it is much warmer than without it. If you roll it rolls the upper part, it is quite possible to do without a pillow.

•Backpack

If you want to go to a small hiking or just walk a lot, cannot do without a backpack. I do not mean the big backpacks for all of the things they may ride with you in the suitcases and everything else. It is about a small backpack, which is convenient to take with you to the radial attacks, so as not to be worn in the hands of food, water, sunscreen, camera, when he did not need, etc.

•Water

Water should always be with a stock, it does not happen much. We enjoyed and that water, which is gained in the parks (it is clean and suitable for drinking and cooking) and bottled. If worried about the water park, you can use special cleaning agents, but it seems to me, in this case it is easier to buy water at the store. We drove with a single large spare canister and constantly buying the package with camping water kettle (they use and convenient, and you can always bring a small backpack to throw).

And other thing you need for camping including hiking carabiner, hanging camping lights, etc.

Tips for Choosing a Telescope

Mon, 16 Jan 2017 08:44:00 +0000

You're the most important thing - to buy a telescope. But what to choose? Unfortunately, to make specific recommendations - a thankless task, because there is always someone who will challenge them and offer something else that he thinks is best. Therefore, we restrict ourselves to the basic principles that should be guided in choosing a telescope.

Pay attention to the weight and size characteristics of telescopes. If you do not have a car or a stationary platform for observation - give up the choice of the telescope, which you cannot alone be transported over long distances.

Immediately accept the fact that there is no perfect telescope, what is called "on all occasions." Some telescopes are ideal for observing the planets and the moon, others for galaxies and nebulae, and others to produce excellent photos. So many fans have in their arsenal are several telescopes, each of which is designed to perform specific tasks.

After all, you need a telescope that will show the best sites that you prefer. In order to better decide which objects to observe is your soul, it is worth spending a few observing sessions with experienced amateurs. Contact your local astronomy club or find colleagues on hobby over the internet.

When choosing a telescope, read as much as possible test reports. Such reviews are done by amateurs with a view to tell others about the advantages and disadvantages of specific models of telescopes. By defining some of the most likely candidates, do not hesitate to ask questions on specialized astronomical forums. This will help in the selection and save you from buying the wrong.

Properly distribute your budget. Do not spend all the money only on the telescope, since you just need some extra eyepieces and other accessories. BTW, you can select the pocket telescope at Banggood. Besides, you can easily get other outdoor and sports accessories (e.g. portable fishing pole, waist strap) there with high quality and reasonable prices.
