It is very important to choose the appropriate equipment for each hike, because this is the key to your good mood and comfort on the route. The weather on the Kuril Islands is changeable and often unpredictable. There may be sweltering heat, or you can get into real bad weather — prolonged rains and strong winds.
The temperature difference between day and night is quite noticeable, so warm clothes must be in the right amount.
Personal equipment should weigh 10-15 kg, we have a hike without backpacks, but you will still need to lift them to load them into the car or carry them to the camp, so we advise you not to take a lot of extra things.
