 and check your gear before you go and climb Mount Kilimanjaro. And that includes your shoes, your trekking poles, water bladder, your backpack, but most importantly, your shoes. You want to make sure that you are training and hiking in the same shoes that you're gonna be hiking with on the mountain. Same thing for your backpack. Let's say you're going for 30 liter, 40 liter backpack. You wanna take it on hikes to make sure that you are comfortable with that backpack. The frame is comfortable. Same thing with your trekking poles. The last thing that you want is to be on Mount Kilimanjaro on the mountain and then you realize some of your gear is not even working. Maybe your gloves or your trekking poles. So make some time to make sure that you go over your gear. Everything is functioning and you are comfortable in everything. Your jackets, your base layers, your pants, you try them and you go hike with them and make sure that it's something that you are happy with.
