The rains and winds are not a reason to stop hiking, but just to prepare differently • So what camping equipment should you buy? How much does it cost? And what should you eat when you go on a hiking trip?


If there is one good thing that the corona has brought into our lives, it is the desire to stay in the open air and get to know the Land of Israel on foot.

During the spring and summer season, hundreds of thousands of Israelis went camping in nature reserves, beaches and gardens.

Now, with the advent of winter, most Israelis are giving up on the idea, but this is not a decree from heaven.

If you like hiking, you can also camp in the winter - all you need is camping equipment suitable for the season.

So what should you stock up on?

Combustion materials -

matches in a rigid and waterproof packaging, a long lighter and also a fire stone can be useful in field conditions.

Price: NIS 20-50.

To make sure the fire is lit, it is recommended to make cotton balls soaked in Vaseline and wrapped in foil at home.

It will light up quickly and last a long time.

Backup batteries -

Any electrical device that you take with you, from your cell phone to a portable light fixture, will need an additional charge or battery.

Do not rely on the claim in the vehicle.

In most places you will reach, the vehicle will be far from the tent, and in the dark and cold you will not want to walk much.

In travel stores you will find off-road chargers with massive backup batteries that last for long hours.

Price: NIS 200-400.

Heating bag -

You can use the bag to warm your hands or feet, just note that the bag is sealed and not liquid.

Price: 5-10 shekels.

Hot bottle - In the

shops for travelers you can find hot bottles for extreme terrain conditions.

The bottle is also good for relieving back pain that can be caught due to sleeping in uncomfortable conditions.

Price: 30 shekels.

Change of clothes -

failures in the field in winter, there is no question of whether you will get wet, but when and how much.

Therefore, if you do not want to get into a state of hypothermia, make sure to bring at least two pairs of pants and shirts to replace.

Shower tent -

In extreme cold or heavy rain, it will be difficult for you to shower without a hermetic cover.

There are shower tents that come with toilets, but they are less comfortable than a tent that is later designed for bathing.

Price: NIS 600.

Wool hats and gloves -

basic equipment when going out into the field.

Be sure to ventilate the gloves at night so they can dry out and also let your fingers breathe.

Price: NIS 20-50.

Warming food -

It is very important to stock up on energy bars and foods that contain a high amount of protein, such as a can of canned tuna that contains 26 grams of protein.

If you eat enough protein, walking will be easier and sleeping in the field will be better.
