A repair kit for a hike is just as necessary as a first aid kit. Now there are many purchased sets, and you can safely use one of them. But keep in mind that everything you take with you will have to be literally shouldered, meanwhile, some sets may have “extra”, while others may lack what is necessary. So, for example, you are unlikely to need a piece of aluminum tube to repair a tent on an easy hike in the Crimea (just take a normal tent with you). So let's look at what should be included in a standard hiking repair kit. There is no single rule in this matter, but still, several basic elements can be identified.

A standard hiking kit includes:

  • A multitool with folding pliers is a very convenient thing with built-in knife blades, a screwdriver, scissors, an awl, a file and other useful attributes. Multitool components may vary depending on the manufacturer or model. Based on this, it is easy to supplement your camping repair kit with the missing element. Taking with you nail scissors and an awl, if they are not in the multitool, you will make your life much easier.
  • Sewing needles (thick and thin), pins - these simple items of a camp repair kit are often the most in demand. Suddenly, a broken zipper can be easily replaced with a pin, and in most cases, torn shoes or a backpack can be repaired with a needle.
  • Threads, pieces of fabric - in fact, these are just consumables for the tools listed above, but without them, sewing is unlikely to be possible. A well-equipped repair kit for hiking will require nylon and regular threads. You shouldn’t get too carried away with the color scheme; black and white reels are quite enough. With fabric, everything is also extremely simple - clothes often have a piece of fabric inside for patches.
  • Superglue - like needles, it is often necessary, and just as often it “disappears” without a trace. Bring several tubes at once in your travel repair kit. And if you are not confident in your shoes, you can supplement it with Moment packaging.
  • Wide adhesive tape (preferably reinforced) - this invention has become firmly established in the everyday life of modern people, and can greatly help out a tourist traveler.
  • The cord is of small thickness (say, 3 mm) - in case you need spare laces. You shouldn’t get carried away with quantity; 5-10 meters will be quite enough. By the way, you can weave a so-called “survival bracelet” from it.
  • Wire - a small piece of thin (up to 3 mm) wire can unexpectedly become the most necessary attribute of the entire repair kit for hiking.
  • An ordinary clothesline - the bearded joke about rope and soap on mountain hikes has long been known)), however, such a useful attribute can also be useful as a consumable. At least 1-2 meters of rope can be used to hang things soaked in the rain.
  • Tweezers are a small but extremely useful item! After all, a mountain hike in Crimea or, say, Turkey is always an abundance of vegetation with its pleasant and not-so-pleasant inhabitants. It is very convenient to remove a tick and a banal splinter using ordinary tweezers from a manicure set.

In conclusion, it can be noted that ours or the Crimea are not highly complex, which means that, provided the equipment is of high quality, serious breakdowns or damage are unlikely. You can replace or supplement the proposed camp repair kit at your discretion. Have fun hiking!

On any trip, even the shortest one, problems with equipment are possible. A button came off, a backpack buckle broke, a knife became dull... It’s impossible to list all the possible situations. In this case, a group of tourists should always have a repair kit. To save weight, they usually take one large general repair kit, which contains a tool to eliminate all possible breakdowns. On more or less serious trips, a person is appointed responsible for repairs. He carries a repair kit in his backpack, is responsible for its contents and helps participants with repairs. Breakdowns along the route can be very different, so the composition of the repair kit must be taken seriously, taking into account its weight.
Let's look at the list of necessary things to complete a repair kit for a ski trip of 1-3 difficulty categories:

1. Pliers– a tool that is necessary in a variety of situations. From ski binding repair to sewing. Try to find small pliers made from light alloy. On sale there are sets in the form of folding knives, including pliers, a knife, a corkscrew, an awl, etc. This is a very useful thing on a hike. The main thing is to buy a quality instrument, a Chinese fake.

2. Screwdrivers (phillips and straight)– screwdrivers may be needed to repair skis and ski bindings. Therefore, the size of screwdrivers should be selected to match the corresponding slots.

3. Gimlet (rotary) with drills– It can be very useful in a variety of cases. It can be very useful when repairing skis. Finding such a tool is not so easy, but it is possible. It has a simple design - a holder for a drill and a curved handle with which the drill rotates. As a last resort, you can simply take drills and, if necessary, twist them with pliers.

4. Needle file– useful for cleaning something (for example, gluing), sharpening, sharpening, smoothing... It’s better to take several needle files with you, at least 2. Since they often break.

5. Self-tapping screws– take a few (15 pieces) small screws (0.5 cm) for repairing the skis themselves, 15 larger screws (1-1.5 cm) for installing fasteners, and a few very large ones (5 cm) for other needs. Don't forget to match the size of the screwdrivers with the slot sizes of the screws.

6. Tin plates for ski repair– plates made of thin sheet iron (or other durable metal) slightly wider than the width of the ski. They are used to attach the broken end of the ski to its original location. After this, the sliding properties of the skis become worse than those of a whole ski, but significantly better than those of a broken one. AT LEAST it is possible to continue the route. To attach this plate you will need self-tapping screws, a gimlet and, possibly, wire.

7. Nails (5-40mm)– useful for repairing skis, shoes, equipment, and organizing a bivouac in some conditions. Sometimes it helps to replace a gimlet or an awl.

8. Steel and copper wire– thick, thin and medium. Take 2 meters each. Very useful material. Most often needed when repairing equipment. It can help out in a variety of situations, even those not related to repairs. For example, when organizing a hanging fire system.

9. Skin– used for cleaning bonded surfaces when repairing equipment.

10. Spare ski bindings– a necessary item in a ski kit! The most commonly used fasteners are made of aluminum. If these fasteners are adjusted incorrectly, they quickly become unusable. On simple trips, they often only get by with repairs, but there is a high probability that new fastenings may be needed.

11. Fastener repair material– see previous paragraph. In my practice, there was not a single trip in which there was no need to repair ski bindings. The repair kit must contain spare mounting brackets and cables. The rest is on the recommendation of the manager.

12. Hacksaw blade e – situations often arise in which something has to be sawed off. And not always a metal object, but sometimes a wooden or even plastic one. Doing this with a two-handed saw is not always convenient. A hacksaw blade takes up little space, weighs little and will help you cut off any material. I recommend wrapping one end of the canvas with electrical tape to make it easier to hold in your hand.

13. Threads (nylon, cotton)– threads are the most popular component of a repair kit. Everyone always has something torn, some people just want to sew. Often things are burned on the stove. Nylon threads are needed for repairing power units (on backpacks, tents...), and cotton threads are needed for repairing clothing.

14. Needles– plus to the previous point.

15. Fabric (nylon, avisent, cotton, polar)- for patches. Nylon and avisent are for repairing equipment, and cotton and polar for patches on clothes. Read about the types of fabrics used for sewing travel equipment.

16. Buckles (10, 15, 25)– on a ski trip, backpacks are not so much heavy as they are large. Especially on low-quality backpacks, buckles often break. Take in the belt kit buckles for the side tightening of the backpack, flap tightening and others at your discretion.

17. Glue + degreaser– glue may be needed for repairing shoes, clothing, equipment... It is difficult to list the options for its possible use. Bring all-purpose glue with you. Please note that on a hike it is rarely possible to keep the surfaces being glued together for a long time. In addition, the glue must be frost-resistant.

18. Awl– necessary for sewing and repairing equipment and shoes.

19. Scissors- in extreme cases, just a knife. But it must be in the repair kit. Scissors will make repairs easier and faster for you, which is important in traveling conditions.

20. Lighter– will be required for melting nylon threads and fabrics. This lighter can also be used as a spare.

21. Scotch– an indispensable assistant in any business.

22. Insulating tape– electrical tape is stronger, more reliable and softer than adhesive tape. It is often used when repairing equipment.

23. Sling (10m, 10-20mm)– you will need it to repair the power units of “rag” equipment – ​​tents, backpacks, drags... In addition, a sling may be needed for drying things in a tent, for tying something down.

24. Thimble– necessary for sewing.

25. Pins – 20pcs– can help quickly patch up any holes in clothing or equipment. Pins are convenient for hanging clothes to dry.

26. Elastic for panties (5m)– except for repairing clothes, it may be needed to hold glasses, a seat, etc.

27. Velcro– Most equipment clothing has Velcro. A timely repaired fastener will help you avoid discomfort and unnecessary problems.

28. Plexiglas– necessary for lighting a fire or stove in difficult conditions.

If you take a responsible approach to completing the repair kit, this can save a lot of time on your hike. And in some cases, a repair kit can prevent you from leaving the route. Remember that while sitting in a warm room, thoughts may arise: “Why do I need this tool in the repair kit, I can get by...”, and in camping conditions, especially in the cold in winter, you will scold yourself for not taking care of the repair conditions.

Often, equipment breakdowns cannot be avoided during a hike. If, for example, in the city you can walk with a backpack for years, then on a hike a sharp branch or careless handling will quickly render it unusable. Unsuitable shoes can fail in the first days of a hike, and a tent is subject to many tests: sparks from a fire, careless handling of fire, and lines torn off due to carelessness. On particularly difficult hikes, membrane clothing often suffers, and damage leads to the loss of its tightness properties.

What to do in such situations? Of course, do not throw away your equipment, but use a repair kit, which should be part of the equipment of any tourist group. A repair kit is not a panacea, but it can make life much easier.

Repair kit contents

In tourist stores you can purchase ready-made repair kits from various companies, but you can assemble such a kit yourself. Typically a repair kit includes:

  • Wide tape. The best option would be to purchase reinforced tape - you can find it in hardware stores. It will serve as a universal patch and will also be used for joining and gluing items.
  • Set of needles. It is better to take more, as they are often lost, and to prevent the needles from breaking, they can be placed in durable packaging - for example, a plastic bottle.
  • Threads are nylon and regular.
  • Buttons.
  • Pieces of fabric for repairing clothes (usually they come with clothes).
  • Pieces of fabric for repairing a tent. They can be easily purchased at the store. Please note that the bottom of the tent, its inner part and the outer awning are made of different materials.
  • Instant glue in different types.
  • Sandpaper to clean the surfaces to be glued.
  • Sufficiently sharp small scissors or a knife tool.
  • Patches for equipment made of sealed materials.
  • Pliers.
  • Awl for shoe repair.
  • Spare slings - needed for repairing backpacks.
  • Screwdriver (can be part of a knife tool).
  • Pins - useful if the zipper lock breaks.
  • Wire will never be superfluous on a hike.

Some things from the repair kit are enough to have one per group (for example, a screwdriver), others, which are used most often, for example, threads and needles, should be carried by every tourist.

It is important to understand that different types of hikes require different repair kits. All of the above components of a repair kit are needed on a hiking trip, but for a bicycle trip the composition will be noticeably different: tire patches, a set of hex keys, etc. will be added.

As you know, on a hike, especially a long one, sometimes minor troubles arise related to gear, equipment or clothing.

This may include:

  • patches for tents and backpacks
  • sandpaper
  • scotch
  • insulating tape
  • file
  • scissors, knife
  • piece of hacksaw blade
  • pliers
  • awl or shoe hook
  • nylon threads
  • large needles
  • nails
  • screwdriver
  • rope
  • tarpaulin, leather
  • wire

Patches for tents and backpacks, often included with these products. If they are not included in the package (or have already been used), for repairs we take a piece of nylon (nylon, lavsan) fabric or tarpaulin.

Sandpaper useful for cleaning surfaces before gluing, sharpening knives and axes, grinding, fitting and other small operations.

About where they can come in handy glue, tape, nylon threads and needles We will not repeat ourselves: all this is described above.

Insulating tape , unlike adhesive tape, has the ability to stretch, fitting well into the unevenness of the parts being fastened.

In addition to its main task (fastening), it can be used instead of a bandage, for temporary shoe repair, repair of various handles, etc.

File We use it for sharpening tools, fitting broken pieces of equipment, cutting grooves in metal products and wood.

Scissors and knife useful for cutting fabrics, adjusting patches, or, in short, any work where you need to cut or plan something.

If you fix the halves of the scissors well, you will get a simple measuring compass for plotting a route on the map.

With a good knife you can start a fire (if you have flint), dig a hole, cut up fish or game, open canned food, etc.

In general, you can find plenty of ways to use these tools.

A piece of hacksaw blade we will use it for its main purpose: to saw something, saw it, saw it off, in short, everything that is connected with the root “saw” (don’t confuse it, drank and got drunk :)

To prevent the cutting edge from digging into the skin of your hand, wrap it with electrical tape or tape.

Pliers They will help you twist and cut the wire, tighten the bent carabiners, pull out the prickly thorn stuck in the sole, turn down the heat of the burner with a broken regulator.

It’s better even if it’s not just pliers, but a multitool. Then you can get rid of scissors, a screwdriver, an awl and some other elements of the repair kit (of course, depending on the configuration of the multitool).

Awl useful for making holes in hard materials (for example, in the sole, shoe leather or backpack strap), and shoe hook for flashing the latest firmware if it fails.

With nails Often you need to nail something, from the sole to the hook on the tree (although driving a nail into a living tree is not advisable).

In addition, you can use a nail to punch a hole in the material where an awl is powerless.

We take a couple of 100k and five 50k.

You might think I forgot to mention the nail hammer! But…
