. I want to carry it with me at all times, so it should be as light as possible and as bright as possible.
The earliest sunset in winter is around 16:30 (Tokyo). When the sun hides in the mountains, the trails are dark even before sunset. To put it bluntly, in winter, after 3:00 pm is a danger signal! . So a headlamp should always be in your backpack. If this is the case, it is better to choose a type that is as bright and compact as possible. Recently, there are also types that can be recharged via USB, so you will want to choose the right one depending on the usage scenario.
Gradually increase your equipment to face the risks of the mountains!
Playing in the mountains is at your own risk.
As equipment to protect yourself, you will also need an emergency kit (gauze, antiseptic, bandages, poison remover, pain medication, etc.), bear bell, whistle (often included in the backpack), and emergency sheet (a blanket that looks like aluminum foil), .
Gear suitable for trail run ning is highly functional and minimalist. . but many things can be substituted if you compromise a little. It's hard to get everything at once, so start with shoes and a backpack, and then gradually add more.
In addition to getting the right gear, we should also gradually learn mountain manners and rules to enjoy trail running in a smart way!
