Trek

Trek is a long, adventurous journey undertaken on foot in areas where common means of transport are generally not available. Trekking should not be confused with mountaineering.

 It is estimated that vacations for which the main purpose is trekking is around five million a year.

 A person that makes long journeys on foot is known as a trekker. Trekkers are often involved in long trips through a region, and trek to get from one place to another

Etymology

 The term derived from the Afrikaans word trek (noun), trekken (verb), (literally meaning to "pull, travel"), became a word in English language in mid 19th century, and means a long arduous journey, typically on foot.

Catholes must be located at a reasonable distance (at least 60 m) from …

A cathole or cat hole is a pit for human feces. Catholes are frequently used for the purpose of disposing of bowel movements or waste water (such as the water from cleaning the kitchen dishes) by hikers and others engaging in outdoor recreation.

 Catholes must be located at a reasonable distance (at least 60 m) from water sources (rivers, lakes, etc.), to avoid possible bacterial contamination of water via precipitation, as well as away from trails. For faster feces decomposition, organic soil is preferred over a mineral (sandy) one. It is also recommended to avoid concentration of catholes around campsites. Filled catholes must be covered with a reasonably thick layer of soil, to prevent access by animals, some of which are coprophagous.

 In some areas, it is not appropriate to dispose of human feces through the use of catholes. For example some areas require special instructions on human waste disposal. In rocky places, with the absence of soil, it is advised to smear feces thinly over rocks that have good sun access for faster sterilization by UV radiation and drying or else to toss them into campfires so that the feces are incinerated. In larger snow fields, a larger distance (e.g., 200 m) from trails and campsites may be mandated, if the waste is being disposed under snow.

Hiking vs Trekking

We've often heard the terms hiking and trekking used interchangeably. We all know they're both outdoor recreational activities. But are they really the same?

 Hiking is an outdoor activity of walking in beautiful natural environments on pre-charted paths called hiking trails. There are day hikes and overnight hikes.

 Trekking is a long journey be undertaken on foot in areas where there are usually no means of transport available. Trekking is not necessarily mountaineering; it is walking for a number of days, usually on uncharted paths, in challenging environments which are likely to be hilly or mountainous.

و این سرود را بخوان !

ای کوهنورد محکم باش

پیروز و پاینده باش

چون قله ها سرسخت و محکم بر حوادث باش

رو در کوه و صحرا جسم و جان بیارا

بین آبشار زیبارا

در کوهساران شو چون شاهین رزم آرا

تا بنگری ابر و مه و توفان و باران را

شب در بر آتش رقصان تا سحرگاهان

بیدار کن افسانه عهد نیاکان را

کوه و صحرا را با رنج و زحمت طی کن

تا بنگری گوشه ای از رنچ چوپانان را

ای کوهنورد محکم باش

پیروز و پاینده باش
