Heyi, bathandi be-adventure: Ukuba awuzange uzame ukubhukuda i-bikepacking, uya kufuna ukucoca indawo kwikhalenda yakho. I-Bikepacking, ekwabizwa ngokuba yi-adventure biking, yeyona combo ilungileyo yokubuyisela umva kunye nokuhamba ngebhayisikile. Ngaba unomdla? Funda malunga neengcebiso zabasaqalayo kwiingcali zebhikepackers, kunye nezakhono kunye nezixhobo ofuna ukuziqala.

Yintoni iBikepacking, ngokuchanekileyo?

Ngamafutshane, "ukuhamba ngebhayikhi kulayisha ibhayisekile yakho ngeebhegi usiya kwindawo yolonwabo," utshilo uLucas Winzenburg, umhleli weBikepacking.com nomsunguli we Bunyan Velo, iphephancwadi lokugcina iincwadi. Endaweni yokukhwela, yithi, iipavumente zedolophu okanye iindlela zasedolophini - usiya kwiindawo ezikude ngakumbi, ezinokubandakanya nantoni na kwiindlela zomhlaba ukuya kwiindlela zokuhamba ngeebhayisikile, kuxhomekeke kwisitayile sakho. Yicinge njengokuqengqeleka kwiindlela oya kuthi unyuke kuzo, utsho iWinzenburg.

Ukupakisha ibhayisekile *kancinci* kwahlukile kukhenkethi lwebhayisekile — nangona zimiliselwe kwimiba efanayo. Zombini ezi zinto zibandakanya ukuhamba ngebhayisekile kunye nokuthwala izixhobo zakho, utshilo ingcali yokubhayikiki kunye nebhlog uJosh Ibbett. Abantu bakwasebenzisa la magama ngokutshintshisanayo, nangona kukho umahluko ochuliweyo okwahlula phakathi kwezi zimbini. “Uninzi lwahlula ukupakishwa kwebhayisekile kukhenketho lwebhayisikile lwemveli olusekwe kwindlela orhuqa ngayo izinto zakho kunye neendawo okhwela kuzo,” ucacise watsho uWinzenburg. Abasebenza ngeebhayisekile bahlala bephethe izixhobo ezininzi kwiingxowa ezinobunzima eziqhotyoshelwe kwii-racks, uthi, ngelixa oobhaka behamba nemithwalo elula. Abakhenkethi beebhayisekile bakwafuna iindlela ezithe qelele, ngelixa abakhenkethi beebhayisekile ubukhulu becala benamathela kwiindlela ezigangathiweyo. Abanye abahamba ngeebhayisikile bakhetha ukwenza inkampu ngelixa abanye bethembela kwindawo yokuhlala ngexesha lohambo.

Awudingi ukuba ubambeke kakhulu ngeesemantics, kuba akukho ndlela "echanekileyo" yokupakisha ibhayisekile, utshilo uWinzenburg. Ungajika umva phakathi kwezidiliya eItali (wasweleka) okanye uthathe iindlela ezinyuseneyo zeentaba kwiiRockies. Okanye unokwenza uhambo olukhawulezileyo ngobusuku benkampu yendawo. Kwaye ucinga ntoni? Yonke into ibalulekile. (Eyeleleneyo: Kutheni iihambo zeQela lokuBakela iBackpack zingawona mava alungileyo kuBantu bokuqala)

I-Bikepacking iye yaba ngokuphambene ithandwa kakhulu kwiminyaka yakutshanje. Ngokwesihloko se-Exploding, isixhobo esilandelela amagama aphambili kwiwebhu, ukukhangelwa kwe "bikepacking" kunyuke ngeepesenti ezingama-300 kule minyaka mi-5 idlulileyo. I-Winzenburg idibanisa oku ukuya kubantu abaninzi ukurhawuzelelwa ukonwabela indalo kunye nokuqhawula unxibelelwano kwizikrini. "Ukukhwela imoto kukuvumela ukuba uhambe umgama omde ngemini kunokuba uzokwazi ukuhamba ngeenyawo, ngelixa usahamba ngesantya esifanelekileyo sokuntywila kwimiboniso, izandi kunye nembali," uyongeza. Kuthengisiwe.

I-Bikepacking Gear Uya kuyidinga

Phambi kokuba uqalise ukuhamba ngebhayisikile, uya kufuna ukuqinisekisa ukuba uzilungiselele. Le ayisiyiyo yefowuni-yezitshixo-isikhwama semali.

Cinga ngeenjongo zakho kuqala, utsho uJeremy Kershaw, umdali kunye nomlawuli weHeck of the North Productions, inkampani eququzelela iminyhadala yokukhwela ibhayisekile. Zibuze: Luya kuba lude kangakanani uhambo lwam? Ngaba ndiza kupheka okanye nditye ngaphakathi? Ithini imozulu elindelekileyo okanye uburhabaxa bomhlaba? Ukusuka apho, unokufumana umbono wento oyifunayo (kwaye awuyifuni).

Xa ilixesha lokupakisha, qwalasela ezi ngcebiso zokukhetha ezona zixhobo zibalaseleyo zokupakisha ibhayisekile:

Ibhayisekile

Yothusa! Uzakufuna ibhayisekile. Kuhambo lwakho lokuqala, elona bhayisekile ipakisha ibhayisekile yile osele unayo okanye onokuyiboleka kumhlobo wakho, utshilo uWinzenburg. Kodwa "ngokubanzi, uninzi lwabantu [lusebenzisa] intaba okanye iibhayisekile zebhayisekile," utshilo. Kwaye ngelixa "uninzi lweebhayisikile ezisezintabeni zingakwazi ukuphatha ukuhamba ngeebhayisikile, ukulungela ibhayisekile kunye nendlela oziva ukhululeke ngayo xa uyikhweleyo zezona ndawo zibalulekileyo zokuhamba ngebhayisikile (kunye nokuhamba ngebhayisikile ngokubanzi), utshilo uKershaw.

Ukuba ufuna ukutyala imali ngebhayisekile entsha, ucebisa ukuba undwendwele ivenkile yebhayisekile ekuvumela ukuba uvavanye iibhayisekile. "Ummeli olungileyo wevenkile yokuhamba ngebhayisikile uya kukwazi ukubona ubungakanani obufanelekileyo, indawo yexabiso, iimpawu kunye nezixhobo eziza kwenza uhambo lwakho lokuqala lube yimpumelelo," utshilo uKershaw.

Iingxowa zesakhelo sebhayisekile

Sukuyithatha into ethi "ubhaka ubhaka" ngokoqobo. Enkosi kwiipakethi zokugcina eziluncedo, akufuneki uphathe nantoni na emqolo. Ngelixa ukhenkethi lwebhayisekile luhlala lusebenzisa iipannier ezinkulu (iingxowa ze-aka ezibotshelelwe emacaleni ebhayisekile yakho usebenzisa iintsimbi zentsimbi) ukupakisha ibhayisekile kubandakanya iingxowa ezibhityileyo ezibizwa ngokuba ziingxowa zesakhelo sebhayisekile. Le miqulu - edla ngokuqhotyoshelweyo kunye neentambo ze-velcro-sebenzisa indawo enxantathu yesakhelo sakho sebhayisikili, okanye indawo ejikeleze ityhubhu yakho ephezulu (ityhubhu ehamba phakathi kwetyhubhu yokuhlala kunye ne-tube bar yokuphatha), i-downtube (ityhubhu edibeneyo ngaphantsi ityhubhu ephezulu), kunye nesihlalo setyhubhu. (BTW: Ingxowa ebotshelelwe kwindawo engunxantathu ibizwa ngokuba sisakhelo, kodwa abanye abantu basebenzisa igama elithi "iipakethi zesakhelo" njengegama lesambrela kuzo zonke iibhegi zokupakisha.)

Xa kuthelekiswa neepanniers, iibhegi zesakhelo sebhayisekile zihambelana ngakumbi, ke awuzukuba nexhala malunga nokuba umthwalo wakho unzima kakhulu okanye ubanzi kwiindlela ezimxinwa. Nangona kunjalo, iibhegi zokupakisha ibhayisekile zibambe ngaphantsi kakhulu kune-panniers, ke kuya kufuneka ungene ngaphakathi kuMarie Kondo kwaye uthathe indlela encinci yokupakisha. (Umthamo wegiya weengxowa zesakhelo kuxhomekeke kuhlobo kunye nobukhulu, kodwa ukubeka izinto ngendlela, uninzi lweeframepacks ezinxantathu kwi-REI zithwala iilitha ezi-4 ukuya kwezi-5, ngelixa iipakethi zokuhlala zinokuthwala naphi na ukusuka kwi-0.5 ukuya kwi-11 ilitha okanye ngaphezulu.)

Iibhegi zokupakisha iimpahla nazo kufuneka zilungiselelwe ibhayisekile yakho, ukuze zibe nokubiza abakhweli okokuqala, utshilo u-Avesa Rockwell, umyili kunye nomlawuli eHeck of the North Productions. Ukuba uhlahlo-lwabiwo mali, khetha iipenniers ezindala, indlela ekhethwe nguRockwell. Ungabophelela igiya ngqo kwirack (ukuba unayo) okanye kwenye indawo kwisakhelo sebhayisekile, njengeehandle okanye ityhubhu yokuhlala. Ukuncamathisela izinto, uKershaw ucebisa ukuba kusetyenziswe imitya yewebhu, ethe tyaba, imitya eyomeleleyo yelaphu lenayiloni enamakhonkco. Zama: I-Redpoint Webbing Straps nge-Side-Release Buckles (Yithenge, $ 7, rei.com). Isilumkiso: Usenokufuna ukuzikhwebula ekusebenziseni iintambo ze-bungee, “njengoko zingafane zihlale zikhuselekile yaye zinomkhwa ombi wokubuyela ebusweni bakho,” ulumkisa ngelitshoyo uKershaw.

Ukuba usafuna ukuthenga iibhegi zesakhelo sebhayisekile, uKershaw ucebisa ukuba uxhase iinkampani ezincinci ezise-bikepack zase-US, njengeCedaero. Unokufumana iipakethi ezinobungakanani obahlukeneyo kubathengisi abafana ne-REI, njenge-Ortlieb 4-Liter Frame Pack (Yithenge, $ 140, rei.com). Nokuba yeyiphi na ibhegi yakho, vumela ibhayisekile ithwale bonke ubunzima, utshilo uRockwell. "Bambalwa abantu abanokuphatha i-backpack ngelixa bekhwele ibhayisekile," uyaphawula, njengoko ubunzima bebhegi buya kugalela emagxeni akho ngokuhamba kwexesha. Ukunxiba ubhaka ngelixa uhamba ngeebhayisikile kunokwenza ukuba kube nzima ukujija kunye nokuvula iindlela-kwaye kumnandi phi kuloo nto?

Ikhithi yokulungisa

"Ikhithi yokulungisa ibhayisekile yakho ibalulekile [ekulungiseni] naziphi na izihluzi okanye imiba yoomatshini, utshilo u-Ibbett. Ezinye zezinto ezisisiseko zibandakanya izixhobo ezininzi kunye ne-chain breaker, i-wrench, impompo, iityhubhu ezisecaleni, i-sealant, iiplagi zamavili, i-chain lube kunye namakhonkco, i-super glue, kunye ne-zip ties, ngokutsho kwe-Bikepacking.com. Ukuba ucwangcisa uhambo olude, yiza neenxalenye zebhayisekile. Khangela i-REI yezixhobo zebhayisikili okanye uzame i-Kit ye-Hommie yokulungisa i-Bike Tool Kit (Yithenge, i-$ 20, amazon.com).

Ngelixa ulapho, bhrasha kwizakhono zakho ezisisiseko zokulungisa ibhayisekile njengokufaka endaweni yamatayara athe tyaba, iiphedi zokuqhekeza kunye nezithethi. Uyakufuna kwakhona ukwazi ukulungisa imixokelelwane eyaphukileyo, ukudibanisa iityhubhu, kunye nokulungisa iziqhoboshi kunye nezidreyini (iigiya ezihambisa imixokelelwane). Jonga i-Bikeride.com kunye nesiteshi sikaYouTube sika-REI malunga neevidiyo.

Inkqubo yokulala

"Njengokuba kunjalo ngeebhayisikile, unokwenza ukuba izixhobo zakho ezikhoyo zisebenze ngelixa uvavanya amanzi e-bikepacking," utshilo uWinzenburg. Nangona kunjalo, ibhegi yakho yokulala kunye nephedi zihlala zizezona zinto zinkulu- ke ukuba uthenga izixhobo ezintsha, jonga iinkqubo zokulala ezinciphileyo kuqala. Zama: I-Patagonia Hybrid Sleeping Bag (Yithenge, $ 180, patagonia.com) kunye neBig Agnes AXL Air Mummy Sleeping Pad (Ithenge, $ 69, rei.com).

Kwindawo yakho yokuhlala, hamba nentente yokupakisha ibhayisekile ekhaphukhaphu. "Iintente zanamhlanje zinobunzima obungaphantsi kwekilogram [malunga ne-2.2 lbs] kwaye zibekwa lula kwibhayisikile," utshilo u-Ibbett, ocebisa ngeentente ngu-Big Agnes, njenge-Big Agnes Blacktail & Blacktail Hotel Tent (Thenga yona, $ 230, amazon.com ). Awuyithandi ukulala phantsi? "I-hammock kunye ne-tarp encinci zithatha indawo yentente kunye nendawo yokulala," kusho uRockwell. Bopha nje intambo ngaphezulu kwe-hammock yakho kwimithi emibini efanayo exhomayo. Hlanganisa i-tarp ngentambo, uze ukhusele iimbombo ezine zetar emhlabeni kunye nezibonda, kwaye unayo intente. Izinketho ezingasindiyo zibandakanya i-ENO Campaign Hammock Camping Hammock (Yithenge, $ 70, amazon.com) okanye i-Outdoors Way Hammock Tarp (Ithenge, $ 35, amazon.com)

Iimpahla

Pakisha ngokungathi uza kunyuka intaba, icebisa iWinzenburg. Eyona njongo iphambili kukulungiselela nantoni na - o.k.t. imvula kunye nobushushu bobusuku - ngaphandle kokulayisha kakhulu i-stash yakho. UWinzenburg ucebisa "ukuzisa okungaphezulu kancinci kunoko ucinga ukuba ungakudinga, emva koko ukuhlengahlengise" njengoko ufumana amava. Ukhetha iimpahla ezingaqhelekanga (cinga: iibhulukhwe ezimfutshane, iikawusi zoboya, ihempe yeflaneli) kunezixhobo ezithile zebhayisikile, njengoko ikhululekile kwaye imnceda ukuba azive engekho ndawo xa edlula kwiidolophu.

Ibhotile yamanzi kunye neFilter

Xa uhamba ngeemayile (kunye neekhilomitha), ukuhlala u-hydrated kubalulekile. I-Bikepackers zihlala zikhetha iibhotile zeplastiki ezingasasebenziyo, ezinje ngeBhotile yaManzi ye-Elite SRL (Ithenge, $ 9, Perennial Cycle). Unokuzibophelela iibhotile kwibhayisikile yakho ngebhotile yebhotile okanye ibhasikithi enjengeRogue Panda Bismark Bottle Bucket (Thenga yona, $ 60, Rogue Panda) kwaye uyigcwalise ekupheleni kosuku.

Ukuze ube nokuguquguquka ngakumbi, bamba isihluzo samanzi esiphathwayo njengeKatadyn Hiker Microfilter (Yithenge, $ 65, amazon.com). Basusa iintsholongwane ezibangela izifo emanzini avela kwimithombo yangaphandle (njengamachibi kunye nemilambo), okwenza ukuba kukhuseleke ukusela.

I-Katadyn Hiker Microfilter yokuCoca amanzi $ 65.00 ($ 75.00) uyithenge kwiAmazon

Izixhobo zokupheka

Ukuba ufuna ukupheka ukutya kwakho, uya kufuna ukuyiqwalasela xa upakisha. Ngokuka-Ibbett, izitovu ezilula zokuthwala ubhaka kulula ukuzifumana, kodwa "icandelo elikhohlisayo liphethe imbiza yokupheka." Ucebisa iimveliso ngoLwandle ukuya kwiNgqungquthela, eyenza iimbiza zokupheka ezigotywayo ekulula ukuzigcina kwibhayisekile. Zama uLwandle ukuya kwiNgqungquthela ye-2.8-Liter X-Pot (Yithenge, i-$ 55, i-rei.com). (Idibeneyo: Eyona ndlela ilungileyo yokuHamba okulula ukuba upakishe ayinamsebenzi yeyiphi umgama ohamba kuwo)

Ikit yokunceda kumenzakalo

Ukhuseleko kuqala, bantwana. U-Ibbett ucebisa ngokuthatha "uluhlu lweebhandeji ezisisiseko kunye nokunxiba, iipilisi zentlungu, kunye nekhrimu yokuthintela ukosula kunye nokusula." Oku kuya kukuvumela ukuba uphathe ii-bangs eziqhelekileyo kunye ne-scrapes kuhambo, utsho. Khetha ikhithi engasindi, enje ngeeKiti zoNyango lwezoNyango i-Ultralight / Watertight Medical Kit (Yithenge, $ 19, amazon.com) okanye wakhe eyakho usebenzisa esi sikhokelo kwizixhobo zoncedo lokuqala ekufuneka usoloko unazo.

Izixhobo zoNyango lwezoNyango i-Ultralight Watertight .5 Uncedo lokuqala lwezoNyango $ 19.00 ($ 21.00) uyithenge kwiAmazon

Iyunithi yeGPS yokuhamba ngebhayisikile okanye iApp

Ukuba uthubeleza kumhlaba ongawuqhelanga, uya kufuna iGPS ehambelana nebhayisekile. I-GPS yokuhamba ngebhayisikile ibonelela ngendlela, kunye nedatha efana nokuphakama kunye nesantya. U-Ibbet usebenzisa iiyunithi ze-Wahoo GPS, athi zithembekile kwaye zisebenziseka lula. Zama: Wahoo ELEMNT Bolt GPS Bike Computer (Thenga It, $230, amazon.com). Unokusebenzisa ngobuchwephesha i-smartphone yakho, kodwa kuya kufuneka ujonge ngokusondeleyo ubomi bebhetri yakho. (Ukwenza oku, vula "imowudi yenqwelomoya" kwaye unciphise ukusetyenziswa kwefowuni yonke.) Ngaphandle kwenkonzo, iGPS yefowuni yakho isenokusebenza nje ukuba ukhuphele iimephu zendlela ngaphambili. Uninzi lwabapakishi bebhayisekile kwiwebhu bayayithanda iGaia GPS, usetyenziso olukuvumela ukuba ujonge inkonzo yangasemva ngaphandle kwenkonzo.

Ukuba ukhathazekile malunga nokusinda kohambo kwi-smartphone yakho, ukuhamba ngebhayisikile kwi-GPS kunokuba yindlela yokuhamba. Kuzo zombini iimeko, zisa ibhetri yogcino kwaye uziqhelanise nenkqubo yakho yokuhamba ngaphambi kokuba uphume.

Uyiqala njani iBikepacking

Ke, unayo ibhayisekile, igiya, kunye nenkanuko yokuzonwabisa. Kakhulu! Hayi ngokukhawuleza, nangona-uya kufuna ukwenza isicwangciso ngaphambi kokumisa.

Qala ngokukhetha indlela. Unokufumana iindlela ezenziweyo ngabakhenkethi kwihlabathi liphela kwiiwebhusayithi zokubhukisha. Umzekelo, i-Bikepacking.com ineendlela ezigubungela malunga namazwe angama-50 kunye ne-85,000 yeemayile ezipheleleyo kunye neefoto kunye neengcebiso, utsho uWinzenburg. Iindlela zibandakanya yonke into ukusuka kubusuku obufutshane ukuya kwiitraki zenyanga ezininzi kwilizwe liphela, ke kukho into kuwo wonke umntu. URockwell ukwacebisa uMbutho weBhayisikile yokuHamba ngebhayisikile kwabahambi ngebhayisikile okokuqala. Apha, uya kufumana izixhobo ezinjengeendlela, iimephu, kunye nohambo olucwangcisiweyo.

Unokwenza i-DIY indlela ngezixhobo ze-intanethi ezifana nokukhwela nge-GPS kunye ne-Komoot. Zombini iinketho "zikuvumela ukuba uzobe iindlela zakho okanye ubone ukuba abanye benza ntoni ngakuwe," utshilo uWinzenburg. Nokuba yeyiphi na indlela, "cwangcisa indlela apho [uya kufumana] umthombo wamanzi ekupheleni kosuku, kunye nevenkile okanye ivenkile yokutyela emva kweentsuku ezimbini zokuhamba," kusho uRockwell.

Nje ukuba ukhethe indlela, vavanya ukukhwela ibhayisekile yakho ngaphambi kohambo lwakho lokwenyani, utsho uKershaw. Yilayishe ngegiya oceba ukuza nayo kwaye ukhwele kumzila ofana nohambo lwakho olucwangcisiweyo. Esi sisitshixo sokufumanisa ukuba ukuseta kwakho kufuna ukulungiswa. Uyakuzibulela kamva.

Ngexesha lohambo lokuhamba ngebhayisikile, uninzi lwabantu lunokulindela ukukhwela iimayile ezili-10 ukuya kwezingama-30 ngosuku ukuqala-kodwa umgama opheleleyo uxhomekeke kwizinto ezininzi, utshilo uKershaw. (Umzekelo, umhlaba, imozulu, kunye nomgangatho womzimba wakho konke kudlala indima.) Qalisa ukukhwela okufutshane kwaye uzivumele ujwayele ibhayisekile kunye nezixhobo zakho; ungacwangcisa uhambo olude ukusuka apho. (Idibeneyo: IiNdwendwe eziPhambili zeBhayisikile kwihlabathi liphela)

Xa ilixesha lokujika ebusuku, uninzi lwabakhweli beebhayisekile bayamisa. Nangona kunjalo, ukuthatha isigqibo sokuba ulala phi kukuzithoba, uyaphawula uKershaw. Konke malunga nokulala ngaphandle nanini na xa ekwazi, kodwa "akukho ntloni ekufumaneni i-motel enkulu, ihostele, okanye indawo yokuhlala-ingakumbi emva kokuhlala ixesha elide okanye ukusinda kwimozulu embi," utsho. Ekugqibeleni, kungcono ukwenza oko kukwenza uzive ukhululekile kwaye ukhuselekile, ngakumbi ukuba ukhwele wedwa.

Ukuba umtsha ekupakisheni ibhayisekile, ukucwangcisa uhambo kunokoyikisa kakhulu. Zama ukupakisha ibhayisekile nomntu owakhe wayenza ngaphambili (okanye ukujoyina uhambo olukhokelwayo), nto leyo eya kwenza amava angabinaxinzelelo - kwaye abe mnandi ngakumbi. Ngubani owaziyo, ungafumana indlela entsha oyithandayo yokuphonononga okuhle ngaphandle.
