Solo Carpathian Trekker Shares 10 Vital Survival Tips for Mountain Adventures

A solo adventurer recently shared her invaluable insights from her first solo hike in the Carpathian Mountains, offering ten crucial survival tips for aspiring trekkers. The journey, which she described as "uniquely beautiful," also underscored the unpredictable nature of mountain environments, emphasizing that "hiking is not just about aesthetics and photos by the campfire; it's hard."Among her top recommendations, the hiker stressed the importance of safety. "Always inform your loved ones about your route, dates, and planned locations, and try to send messages with your location," she advised. She also highlighted the necessity of being prepared for sudden weather changes, noting that "even in August, it can be +3 degrees Celsius, so bring plenty of warm clothes and a raincoat."The trekker also emphasized practical aspects such as proper footwear, suggesting two pairs or one high-quality waterproof pair. For sustenance, she recommended light and caloric food, adding, "any food in the Carpathians will be the most delicious." She also encouraged foraging for known berries and herbs but warned against consuming unfamiliar mushrooms.Environmental responsibility was another key message. "Always pack your trash with you; everything we brought into the Carpathians, we take back," she stated, urging hikers to leave nature as pristine as they found it. She concluded by encouraging fellow adventurers to "trust your intuition" and not hesitate to ask for help, as "people in the mountains are usually very kind and happy to assist."
