Scientists have recently discovered that walking downhill with a lot of weight is difficult for the knees to handle

旁白 neutral

In fact, a lot of people injure their knees by slipping downhill, but poles help the knees by providing extra support and balance

事实上，很多人是因下坡时滑倒而伤到膝盖，而登山杖通过提供额外的支撑和平衡来保护膝盖。

So Josh chooses some poles that are lightweight but strong enough to support his weight and grip the ground

于是乔什选了几根轻便但足够结实、能支撑他体重并抓地的登山杖。

旁白 neutral

The last big purchase is a backpack. Backpacks come in all colors, sizes, and weights

There are a lot more pieces of equipment that Josh and Anne will need to go on their trip

乔什和安妮这趟旅行还需要很多其他装备，

旁白 neutral

However, all of this can get expensive, so they borrow a lot of these things from their friends

旁白 neutral

" In order to stay safe when you go backpacking, it's important to have good gear," Josh says

It will take four days to hike the 53 kilometers from one side of the mountain to the other

旁白 neutral

And because so many people like to visit Milford, they will sleep in huts instead of tents because it is easier on the wildlife
