      What should I think about?

      Do not hike in mountainous areas if you are inexperienced. It can be difficult to move and set up or anchor tents. In connection with drifting snow, it can be difficult to orientate due to reduced visibility. There is a risk of frostbite due to degree below zero or rain.
