First and most important: desire to venture! It's the first thing you should not forget.
That spirit of adventure must be there, eager to explore new places, willing to try new things, get out of the routine and the comfort zone. Forget the known, and give way to new experiences!
The willingness to live "first times" must be there. In the adventures it happens a lot that perhaps you have never thought about launching yourself in a zip line, but you get to a place with one, and before saying: "I do not launch myself from there", we must ask ourselves: why not? What would happen if I launched and I like it?
Now, for those who ask us what are the things that we should not forget when going on adventure, here is a list of those things. It is not that you have to take everything, that can vary a bit depending on where you go.
- Lantern.
- Waterproof boots.
- Repellent.
- Sunscreen.
- Hat.
- Sunglasses.
- Water shoes.
- An extra change of clothes (if it's cold, take a coat).
- Phone charger.
- Photo/video camera.
- Inspect the vehicle (engine oil, tire inflation, fuel, tool kit).
- Life vest
- Rash guards.
- Swimwear.
- First aid kit and emergency medications.
- Towels
- Food / drinks (lots of water)
- Garbage bags.
- Mask and clappers for snorkeling.
- If you have any address or contact information essential for the adventure, it is good that you have them written by hand (in case you lose your cell phone or it is discharged or you do not have a signal).
- Inform a close relative about the adventure plan, in case you are not available.
To venture with family and young children it is important to be well equipped with those things that are needed to venture. Buuuut (one big “but”), is not that you have to fill the trunk of the vehicle; is to carry what is strictly necessary. Everything we put in the trunk, then we have to carry it. So, the idea is to pack in the most practical and efficient way, and that everyone in the family helps.
Let the adventures continue!
