SMART TRICKS predict WEATHER

1. In the morning, check what the grass-there's dew tidak.Kalau dry grass, there is a cloud around you or the wind is a little tight-that is going to rain. If the dewy grass, most likely did not rain. WARNING!This method is not valid if it rains the previous night! 

2. Notice the moon at night. Months reddish or pale signifies a lot of dust in the sky. However, if the month is clear and bright, most likely depression (low pressure center) have cleared the air of dust ... low pressure means rain. 

Halo around the moon caused by cirrostratus clouds-clouds that are formed when a hot front or if the moist air. There is a halo means rain in 3 days. 

  

3. Note the campfire. The smoke should go up in peace. If the spin or even down, low air pressure means your land = rain. 

4. Take a deep breath. Close your eyes, feel the smell of the air. 

• Plants excrete waste when air pressure is low, so the air smells like compost. 

• Swamps release methane just before the storm arrived. This is also due to low air pressure. Smells not good .. 

• In general, the smells seemed stronger before the storm arrived.In a way, more fragrant flowers before the rain. 

5. Check humidity. When humid air, thick and curly hair. The leaves tend to curl. Salt finished agglomerate (salt so hard to get out darishaker). 

6. Notice the clouds. 

• The clouds are moving in the opposite direction (eg, cloud one to the North but other clouds to the East) is indicative of bad weather. 

• Cumulonimbus clouds since morning: the day would rain. 

• mammatus Cumulonimbus: Cumulonimbus is in the process of disappearing (not formed) 

• Cirrus fibratus: rain in the next 36 hours 

• Altocumulus mackerel shaped like fish scales: rainfall in 36 hours.

• Cumulus castellanus: the possibility of rain within a few hours. 

7. Note the behavior of animals. 

• Birds flying high in the sky means good weather. (Low air pressure interfere with hearing the birds, so birds tend to fly low or hang out in the electrical cable network). 

• pelican bird (or other sea birds) tend to break on the shore and not fly if the storm is coming. 

• The animals, especially birds, suddenly became quiet when a storm is coming. 

• The cows would rather sit on the ground and gather together when a storm is coming. 

• Cats tend to scratch and touch the back of his ear during a storm is coming. 

• The tortoise will seek higher ground when heavy rain will come (maybe you'll find a turtle on a highway near the beach 1-2 days before the storm) 

His name is also forecast-not necessarily 100% correct.Traditional farmers and ranchers do the same thing because the weather is affecting their life and work.

Tips for Choosing Tent

I hope these tips can help your friends in choosing a tent suitable for mountaineering. 

1. Tent Height 

Tents for mountaineering construction tends to be lower than in the tent for camping, it is mainly to be more resistant to wind faster than a mountain altitude area camping sites located lower on the foot of the mountain. Choose the lower tent construction. 

2. Tent material 

Note the material of nylon tents choose one that do not choose a tent made of cotton material inside (inner) made of cotton, if the tent is used the high mountains of temperate humid will be very cold at all, this tent can not provide good isolation for residents . Tent with this type of material suitable only for camping. 

3. Flysheet Sheet 

Tents for climbing the mountain should have its flysheet sheet, except for a single tent tents made of breathable garment that can hold water condensation in the tent but could get out. Bibler tent brands such as output but the value tent with this type of material is very expensive, and most of the Bibler tents are worn in the high snowy mountains. In Indonesia, a lot of tent camping tents that are sold are generally not have a flysheet, once and even if there are short tend to only as decoration, such as tents bestway brands are sold in several stores in jakarta. Flysheet is very useful to protect from the rain inside the tent, flysheet good is that to close the tent until kebawahnya. Avoid wearing camping tents that do not have a flysheet because when used in the mountains with just a tent damp weather tends to the inside will be moist and very bad for the health of climbers in it. 

4. Distance flysheet and inner tent 

Note also the distance between the flysheet and Diding tent, a good distance is one inch because it does not stick to the inside of the tent with flysheet and if heavy rains do not come inside the tent wet by the flysheet, which can cause leaks as well, a good distance between the flysheet and the inside of the tent would allow vapor condensation from inside the tent in the wind therefore hilng is not accommodated in the inside of the flysheet are water proof, if accommodated inside flysheet will turn into points and again falling water gets inside the tent. The situation is what we thought the tent leaked during rain, when his tent was not leaking or perforated at all. 

5. Guylines or strap fasteners 

mountaineering tent would have ropes fasteners particular section which is useful for endurance tent in the face of the wind on the mountain. These ropes generally by the tent factory placed at points of useful tent frame construction provides additional strength pda frame so as not to break. 

6. storage space 

Terrace or the term cool tent vestibule, is a special bonus for mountaineering tent, because in addition can be a place of storage of goods, vestibule can be used as a kitchen when the weather is bad and not allowed to cook outside the tent.

TIPS TO CHOOSE THE ACTIVITY OF NATURAL OPEN SHOES

Before we decide to buy new shoes it helps us pay attention to these tips below:
1. Consider the type of trip that will We Do Start by looking for trekking boots or shoes appropriate to look at the category / field characters are best suited to our travel plans. In general, outdoor shoes can be divided into 3 basic categories, namely:
a. Lightweight hiking shoes - These shoes are designed for very short trips such as climbing a day or overnight activity. The shoe focuses on comfort level, such as the use of protective pads, and breathable materials (with the ability to breathe-out steam from the hot shoe.)
b. Shoes for hiking is - This shoe is designed for climbing activity with a light load until sufficient climber. This shoe is more resilient and able to sustain / support the weight of a bear than a lightweight shoe, this shoe is suitable for short to moderate trips on easy terrain until quite heavy.
c. Climbing shoes for heavy / special Mountaineering boots - boots are designed for heavy field and with the burden of moderate to serious climbers. The shape is high, could support the foot, and could protect the feet and ankles. This shoe is designed for the event for days / weeks. This shoe is very tough and stiff and even some of them suitable for use crampons (for shoes snow or ice), so this sepetu very protective and support for mountaineering activities.

2. Consider Problem Materials Materials used in the manufacture of shoes or tIrekking bIoot will affect the weight, the ability to breathe / her breathability, strength and resistance to water. Based on the materials used, boots divided into:
a. Shoes with Mesh and Nylon Material Leather Pieces - The advantages of this type of shoe that is lightweight so that it can reduce the burden, tend to be soft on the feet, fast in the open, the price is relatively cheaper and can breathe (breathable), making it suitable for use in warm weather to moderate, fast wet and dry at times suitable for travel / hiking the short to medium. But it has weaknesses, including lack of stability on the sloping terrain, less durable and much less than the waterproof boots with full leather materials (except those using waterproof layer).
b. Leather Shoes - This shoe is truly waterproof, tough and more supportive than the shoe leather and nylon blend. This shoe is usually used for long trips / long, the burden of heavy climbers and climbing terrain that is difficult / hard, and most importantly durable. But the shoe boot in is not as light and as breathable mixture of leather / nylon, and require time to open and install it.
c. Plastic Shoes - This shoe is used for ice or snow field, used for climbing activities / expeditions into the mountains snow or ice. The shape is very stiff / rigid, very feasible to use crampons (serrated pedestal mounted on shoes), consists of two layers, layer in a heated and the outside as a protector,
Along with the development of technology, some good boots made from a mixture of leather / fabric or full leather now many are resistant to water so that the feet stay dry when it rains, this happened thanks to the use / treatment of water-resistant coating such as Gore-tex, Sympatex Dry-tex, Outdry, etc.. This treatment was applied to the majority of material boots to enhance the resilience of the water ..
However this layer is not a panacea for boots, because she did not last long and this treatment can affect the price and make the legs become uncomfortable when worn in hot air. The level of water resistance depends on the type of materials used, protective materials, how often to wear and how well treatment. If treatment is correct, then the water resistant coating may last longer than the old shoe itself. Therefore, always make sure to follow the rules of treatment that are usually found on every package of shoes, so that our shoes can be durable and function properly.

3. Consider how to make it In general, the boots made by mechanization / manufacturing and manual / hand made. Technique is made by stitching and taped (in-glue or in-press). Shoes made by suturing technique performance is tough and reliable, if it has been worn / damaged soles can be replaced. With this technique produced shoes will be different in terms of strength and stiffness of each manufacturer has specific tips, such as the Norwegian style, the style of Italy, etc.. While the shoes are made with the process of gluing / pasting, usually making faster, more robust results, is generally cheaper.

4. Considerations When Tried Once we choose a variety of sizes and models, the best way to decide which one will we choose is to try the shoes. When trying on shoes, shoe insoles do not rely on the general size or based on the numbers that we use. Because no shoes. 8 artificial plant / model that one may be different and it is usually different than the factory-made / brand to another. So it is best to try it.
