Zip lining is popular among adventure-seekers because it gives the feeling of flight as you glide from one treetop to the next. For some people, zip lining also allows them to conquer their fear of heights. However, like any other outdoor activity, you must prepare in advance to maximize your experience. Here’s what you should do before you attempt zip lining.

How to Get Ready for Your Ultimate Zip Line Adventure

1. Make a Reservation

Campgrounds are often booked, especially during the holidays. If you head to one on the spur of the moment, you may find the grounds full. Make a reservation well in advance of your planned trip to avoid long lines and a letdown.

2. Bring Bug Spray & Sunscreen

It's normal to get a tan or a few insect bites when spending time outdoors. Still, make an effort to protect your skin from harmful UV rays and prevent rashes by applying sunscreen and insect repellent. Be mindful not to use these over wounds or irritated skin, as they could make the injury worse.

3. Bring an Action Camera

Preserve memories of this adventure by bringing a camera with you. It is best to use an action camera, such as a GoPro®, for this and other outdoor activities. Unlike digital single-lens reflex (DSLR) or mirrorless cameras, action cameras are small and lightweight. They're also built specifically for sports activities, and you can attach them to your body or helmet. This way, you can keep your hands free during the ride, without worrying that the camera will slip from your grasp.
