Outdoor mountaineering is no longer limited to a small group of people, but has evolved into a sport with high public participation, and has even gradually become a fashion. In order to help everyone better participate in mountaineering, the editor below will bring you some common sense that you must know. I hope you can keep it in mind!
- Try not to travel with the leader of a warrior group who only speaks eloquently. When exercising outdoors, remember: Either a person wearing a jacket is a donkey.
- 2. Try not to shake hands with two people and pull people from bottom to top; hold each other’s wrists.
- 3. Try not to use the pulling force of dead branches or weeds or branches smaller than the thickness of your thumb to climb; only use the pulling force of rooted branches larger than the thickness of your thumb to climb.
- 4. Try not to use branches that are smaller than the thickness of your wrist to make a horizontal bar. Hang and bend the branches to rise or fall, as this can easily break. Use branches that are larger than the thickness of your wrist, or try to get as close to the root of the branch as possible (near the trunk).
- Try not to climb with the help of rocks that are higher than your head and cannot be judged to be solid. It is extremely dangerous to hang your life on rocks that you do not understand. You should fix it at three points first and use the strength of one limb to verify it before taking action.
- 6. Try not to get too close to adjacent team members when climbing a hillside with lots of gravel, lots of ice and snow, and easy slipping. Leave a gap of two more people than usual to prevent the people below from being injured.
- 7. Try not to leave too small a distance when going down a slippery hillside; wait until the person in front is safe before the person behind can go down the mountain; if possible, the person in front can protect the person behind.
- Try not to let the soles of your hiking shoes contain sand, plant leaves, water, snow and other substances that reduce the friction coefficient; already with these substances, when you climb huge rocks, you can only climb up to two-thirds of the original slope, otherwise your feet will slip.
- 9. Try not to straighten your back and rest too quickly when you are resting on a steep hillside when you are tired and carrying heavy luggage; if you are tired, it is best to stop without straightening your back, turn around, lean your back against the mountain, and rest with your back straight. Avoid falling back and rolling down the hill.
- 10. Try not to get too close from front to back when walking in the jungle. The rebounding thorns can easily hurt your eyes; lower your head and cover it with the brim of a hat, or use trekking poles to protect your eyes.
- Try not to only lower your head and bend down when walking in a jungle or stone forest. As a result, your head passes and your bag and buttocks cannot pass; you should squat, bend down, lower your head, stretch your arms, and crawl forward; then look forward, and only after your buttocks have passed, can you raise your head, straighten your waist, and stand.
- 12. Try not to step on the grass-covered path, and you may not be able to see clearly the actual path below; try to cross or go around it; otherwise, you may fall down the hillside or into a deep pit.
- 13. Try not to be a trailblazer in summer and autumn, unless you can alert snakes in the grass, or you are alert and good at spotting snakes on the road and have ways to deal with them.
- Try not to go up the mountain alone. If you go up, you should always mark the way; if you can’t go back, go back.
- 15. Try not to call 110, etc., because their knowledge of mountains is far less than that of fellow travelers who often climb mountains. You can call them. Don’t panic if you don’t have a phone. In the mountains, during the three seasons of spring, summer and autumn, a normal person can survive without sleeping or eating for a whole night, neither freezing nor starving to death. You just follow a canyon and go downstream.
- 16. Try not to jump down continuously for a long time, unless you often do this kind of exercise; if you participate in this kind of activity, it is recommended that you try to use a suspended jump, or use a trekking pole to support the lower part and then hang the body down to lower the height, reduce impact, and avoid knee joint injuries. At the end of the day you may have danced a third less than your fellow travelers.
- Try not to walk through rivers with water levels above your crotch level after heavy rain. Fire and water are ruthless, and it has nothing to do with your swimming ability. If you have to cross and don’t have ropes or other river-crossing equipment, try to choose a place where the river is wide, slow, shallow, and the river bottom is gentle. Find a big stone to hold in your arms, do a small lunge against the current, stick to the bottom of the river without lifting your feet, and cross the river slowly.
- 18. Try not to turn on your cell phone or make calls when hiking in a thunderstorm; God will call you to go to Him.
- 19. Try not to climb or pass through geological structures where mud and rocks are mixed after rain.
- 20. Try not to use ordinary ropes that are thinner than your little finger to lift yourself vertically; they can only be used as auxiliary lifting.
- Try not to climb rocks that you feel hesitant about, but be willing to do so; if you have to climb, you must have an emergency plan in mind in case of failure and you will not regret it before climbing.
- 22. Try not to slide down the mountain alone when going down the mountain in ice and snow; it is best to work in groups of two on a rope of about 10 meters, and the person on top pulls the rope to release the other person to go down the mountain; then the person on top slides down on his own, and the person below is protecting him and holding him with the rope to prevent him from rushing down the mountain; take turns to protect each other.
- 23. Try not to climb mountains and look at the scenery at the same time; you may make a mistake and lose your virginity.
- Try not to follow the donkey; you should stop for a few seconds every 15 minutes, look back and look around, look for a frame of reference, and remember the route. Don’t lose it and never know where to go home.
- 25. Try not to compete with others and yourself when climbing a mountain; when faced with dangers and difficulties that you are incompetent about, dare to say “I can’t do it, I have to go around.”
- 26. Try not to suddenly jump into the water to swim when you are sweating profusely while climbing a mountain; and do not face the wind to cool off.
- Try not to go into a cave you are not familiar with, especially a cave with few exits and without a reliable friend to guard the door for you. As the saying goes, a cunning rabbit has three caves, not to mention people? Remember safety first.
- 28. Try not to run while carrying a load while going down the mountain. The inertia may cause you to rush down the mountain and get injured.
- 29. Try not to be timid and use small steps with your feet close to each other on the steep slope and head down the hillside. This is very easy to fall backwards and then rush down the mountain on the slide, which is dangerous. You can use sideways, squats, side leg presses (side lunges), and move down the mountain; this is safe and quick
- Try not to continue climbing when your legs are shaking, your eyes are dizzy, or you are having difficulty breathing. You should immediately notify the team leader or your friends.
- 31. Try not to use fire on the mountain, especially open fire; unless you want to roast a whole lamb yourself.
- 32. Try not to litter on the mountain, unless you want to climb a garbage mountain.
- 33. Try not to be at the beginning or end of the group. It is best to ask for the mobile phone number of the group leader when gathering.
- 34. Try not to blame others during the activity, because no one is forcing you, lying to you, or begging you to participate in this kind of private, non-profit and risky activity.
- 35. Try not to rely too much on others in activities, communicate more and ask for advice, be more independent and observe, help and understand more
