Break in your footwear in advance

Buy your footwear before you leave and break them in before you arrive, to ensure maximum comfort on the trail. That leads you to the next problem on choosing between boots and sandals. Although being a wonderful relief on the sweltering hot trails, sandals provide little protection in snake-infested regions.

You can get a Keen Newport sandals toebox that provides added protection to your feet without compromising comfort. Go with boots like the Timberland Euro Hiker if you are wary of snakes in the grass. Travel to Cambodia

Get a large size mosquito net

Try sleeping with your arms outside the net once and see how that feels and too large is better than too small! Of course, a net that allows you to toss and turn without the fear of letting those nasty critters in will be what you need. And as deadly diseases like dengue fever are endemic in Southeast Asia, and spread by swarms of mosquitoes, do not even think about going without a mosquito net.

Trust your buddies, not the water

Do not drink the water that you do not know where it is coming from. It is such a commonplace purchase in urban convenience stores in Southeast Asia, do not forget to buy bottled water before the hike. Of course, safe water is more difficult to come by on the trails. And carrying heavy loads of water loses its appeal really fast!

The SteriPEN, which is a battery-powered ultraviolet light pen that sterilizes water, is popularly chosen by many travelers to purge their water of critters. All you need to do is activate it, stir it with the water and stop when the light turns off. It doesn’t come with any consumables save the battery nor does it change the way pills do and the taste of the water.

Stock your first-aid kit well

A specialized kit is what Southeast Asia’s outdoors calls for. Sunscreen, liquid hand sanitizer, mosquito repellent, anti-malaria tablet, antibiotic ointment, anti-diarrhea tablet and ibuprofen or some other analgesic are a short list of must-have items to include in your first aid kit. Get a first aid kit to keep all your mediums in – the Adventure Medical Ultralight 0.9, which weighs only nine ounces but packs enough for a group of four, is a good one.

 Waterproofing is your friend and moisture is your enemy

Southeast Asia can be ridiculously wet even at the best of times, and your gear may suffer for it. The humidity may still put your electronics on the fritz if the rain is not turning your baggage into a soggy mess. No ordinary backpack but several watertight, zip-locked bags may do the trick of keeping your stuff safe from moisture.
