Imagine you are one of the competitors in the Ten Tors Challenge. Describe your clothes and the things you will take with you on the Challenge.
(Can we use both the present continous and the future when described the clothes,: I will wear/ I will have to take ...) I gave two examples.
1) I'm a competitor in the challenge. I'm wearing a red wind breaker over a yellow T-shirt, a pair of black tracksuit pants with a white stripe on each side and black hiking boots.
I'm carrying a big backpack, in which I put food and water for two days, a tent, a compass, extra clothes, maps. and a mobile phone. I'm also wearing a black bandanna on my forehead and I'm holding walking sticks.
2) I'll be a competitor in the ...
I'll wear a T-shirt with the competition's sponsors on it.
3) I will also wear a blue, long-sleeved, zip-up, woollen sweatshirt on it (over it)and peaked baseball cap or a bandanna. I still have to decide. I'll take with me (?) a big bag, a sleeping bag for the night and a lot of food and bottle of water.
4) There are many people.
There is a lof ot people OR there are a lot of people?
5) If I ever join the Ten Tors Challenge, I will wear a pair of Khaki bottoms, a T-shirt, and a shirt over it.
I will have to take food and water for two days and, of course, a compass.

If you’re asking if the present continuous tense and the future tense are interchangeable, I’d say no, they aren’t. Future and future continuous probably are closer, but sometimes the continuous tenses sound clumsy.
1) I'm a competitor in the challenge. I'm wearing a red wind breaker over a yellow T-shirt, a pair of black tracksuit pants with a white stripe on each side, and black hiking boots. Present continuous means that you are wearing these clothes right now!
I'm carrying a big backpack into which I put food and water for two days, a tent, a compass, extra clothes, maps, and a mobile phone. I'm also wearing a black bandanna on my forehead, and I'm holding walking sticks. Present continuous means that you are wearing and doing these things right now!
2) OK
3) I will also wear a blue, long-sleeved, zip-up, woolen sweatshirt over it and a peaked baseball cap or a bandanna. I still have to decide. I'll take a big bag, a sleeping bag for the night, a lot of food, and bottle of water.
4) There are many people.
Grammatically, it should be “there is a lot…” because “lot” is singular. You’d be better off just forgetting “a lot of” (whether spelled correctly or not!) and just use “there are many of … “ instead.
5) If I ever join the Ten Tors Challenge, I will wear a pair of Khaki pants, a T-shirt, and a shirt over it. I will have to take food and water for two days and, of course, a compass.
Compare carefully so you catch all the big and little changes I made!
As an AI, I don't have personal experiences or preferences, but I can provide you with general guidelines on clothing and items for the Ten Tors Challenge.
1) In the present continuous tense:
As a competitor in the Ten Tors Challenge, I am wearing a red wind breaker over a yellow T-shirt, a pair of black tracksuit pants with a white stripe on each side, and black hiking boots. I am carrying a big backpack in which I put food and water for two days, a tent, a compass, extra clothes, maps, and a mobile phone. Additionally, I am wearing a black bandanna on my forehead and holding walking sticks.
2) In the future tense:
As a competitor in the Ten Tors Challenge, I will wear a T-shirt with the competition's sponsors on it. I will also wear a blue, long-sleeved, zip-up, woollen sweatshirt over it, and either a peaked baseball cap or a bandanna (I still have to decide). I will take with me a big bag, a sleeping bag for the night, and a lot of food and a bottle of water.
3) To clarify:
It's important to note that clothing choices and the specific items taken can vary depending on personal preferences, weather conditions, and competition regulations. It's always best to check the guidelines provided by the organizers to ensure you have the necessary gear.
4) Regarding the correct usage:
In the context of your question, the correct phrase would be "There are a lot of people" to indicate the presence of a large number of individuals.
5) In the future tense:
If I ever join the Ten Tors Challenge, I will wear a pair of khaki bottoms, a T-shirt, and a shirt over it. I will have to take food and water for two days and, of course, a compass.
Remember, the clothing and items you choose to bring should be appropriate for long-distance hiking, navigation, and potentially adverse weather conditions. It's always important to plan and prepare accordingly.
