| Father: | OK. If we are going to the forest, we must list out what we should carry with us for two days. |
| Mary: | I think we should carry suitable clothes like moisture-wicking garments covering our hands and legs, hand gloves, gaiters, and head wear. |
| Father: | What about the food? Do you have any idea, Mary? |
| Mary: | Yeah. For food, I suggest we take dehydrated foods. A packet of instant coffee packets and tea bags, energy bars, chocolates, nuts, sandwich-making materials, kaakaras (dry chappathi), cheese, and cup noodles will be of great help. |
| Father |
I think we need to wear proper trekking shoes and take our sleeping bags too. Do you think we need to take anything else? |
| Mary: |
Yes, dad, a torchlight and mosquito repellent is a must. I think we are all set to go on our journey. |
