Hiking along the Barents Sea to Teriberka

The list is intended as a recommendation. However, you should read it carefully and decide what to take with you. 

Properly selected equipment will give you confidence in your journey. The instructors have worked out the most competent set of equipment for safety and comfort on the route. 

1. Camping equipment:

• trekking backpack (hiking) – with a volume of at least 80 liters;
• a cape on a backpack;
• tracking sticks; 
• sleeping bag with comfort temperature (average value) from +1 to +3 degrees; 
• sleeping bag mat (karemat); 
• tourist seat ("hoba"); 
• The trekking tent is two-layered (participants are distributed according to the capacity of the tent, the weight is divided among all). Example: if you have a personal two-person tent and you are ready to move in. At the same time, your tent weighs 3 kg – the participant being moved in carries either half the weight of the tent, or takes a group participant with a tent equal to half its weight, i.e. 1.5 kg;
• set of personal tableware – mug, spoon, bowl, travel knife (small), thermos from 0.5 to 1 liter;
• a flask or a water bottle of 1 liter; 
• A headlamp! (for hikes that fall between June and July, you do not need to take it, since it is the time of the Polar Day and White Nights on the Kola Peninsula) 

2. Clothes and shoes.

Required set:

• trekking shoes (high-top boots). Shoes must be worn out. It is not allowed to use shoes disguised as trekking shoes (such as "Boots");
• trekking socks (2-3 pairs); 
• running trousers (quick-drying from dense material); 
• running jacket (membrane or windproof jacket); 
• base layer (running);
• underwear is thin;
• spare base layer (including for sleeping) – underwear; 
• long sleeve T–shirt - 1 pc.; 
• stock of underwear sets; 
• insulation layer (fleece jacket); 
• lightweight warming jacket (puffer jacket or sintepuh); 
• rubber slippers for camps and fords (crocs, sandals); 
• a cap; 
• lightweight gloves (ordinary working cotton gloves will do); 
• neck protection buff; 
• sunglasses; 

Optional:

• gaiters (flashlights) on your feet to protect against dew and sand; 
• raincoat in the absence of a membrane jacket; 
• a bathing suit. 

When choosing clothes for a hike, try to choose fabrics that dry quickly and do not absorb moisture (synthetics, fleece, etc.). Also, when carrying spare sets of clothes inside a backpack, care must be taken to keep them dry. Namely, packaging in waterproof bags or cellophane bags (a rain cape from a backpack does not provide a 100% guarantee of waterproofness).
