We're going camping. Forest riches of Pskov

Pskov is not just an ancient land, the birthplace of Princess Olga, a place that has kept masterpieces of human architecture for centuries. It's also a beautiful forest. A space where man-made beauty coexists with the eternal beauty of nature. The interweaving of branches, clear blue sky, wonderful bird trills – all this you will see here, because forests make up about 30% of the terrain.

However, sitting on the couch in the house do not enjoy the beauty of nature. Isn't it? It is not fair to limit your living space to four walls. Leave the TV and what is going on inside it. It's time to go out and have a little weekend.

Clean-air recreation

Pskov forests make up about 30% of this picturesque region. And if you want to go here for outdoor activities, you need to start with the preparation of equipment. Namely, picking a backpack. Experienced tourists have several of them: for a day trip and for a long stay outside the bosom of human civilization.

At first, something will come between the first and second option: a model of 35 - 50 liters. But whatever your backpack is, try to put it right. Hard objects should not protrude and push you in the back when walking.

You need to put all the necessary things, but also think about where to put yourself. So that the first trip is not the last, it is advisable to take care of a comfortable sleeping bag. You can buy this in sports goods, but more affordable options are offered by the online store of sleeping bags. Delivery can be ordered at home, which will also save a lot of precious time.

A good model should be light and warm at the same time. It is better to choose with down filler, although they are somewhat more expensive than syntipone. The down is compact, has an enviable ability to retain heat and is very light. (Sintypone is also good in areas with high humidity, since it does not deform from moisture, it dries easily and quickly).

According to their device, sleeping bags are divided into two types: a sleeping blanket and a sleeping cocoon. For serious trips, it is better to choose the second. It will provide the necessary thermal insulation during sleep.

There are two other equally important aspects to remember when exploring Pskov’s woodlands: wide-open eyes, the ability to see and remember. There really is something to see here.
