Thirteen Golden Rules of Playing Outdoors

Whether you choose to walk, ride, or climb a hill... In addition to seeing more scenery, safety is always the number one priority. In the outdoor sports, it is indispensable to talk about the leader and the team members. There are also some principles for getting along with each other. When playing outdoors, the team member "A is the life" and the leader "A is safe." Let's take a look at the thirteen golden rules of playing outdoors.

Team member "A's life"

The first rule of the golden rule: Always rely on yourself

What is outdoor "AA"? 90% of outdoor enthusiasts believe that it is "A cost". In the past decade, this concept has been seriously misunderstood. This has also led to frequent accidents. I want to tell you sometimes that "A is the life".

Outdoor AA system is not only cost AA, responsibility and risk are also the same as AA, the official point that is all participants, in order to achieve common hobbies or goals, voluntarily and voluntarily organize an outdoor activity. And the cost of the activity should be evenly distributed. "The responsibility is at your own risk."

The real AA outdoors should be the cooperation between friends, each has its own strengths. As the saying goes, there are no brothers and no mountain climbers. There are many people who know this truth, but few people really implement it. In the pure AA outdoor, usually the leader is no legal responsibility and obligation to assume the safety of the players, he can even have no sense of responsibility to you, why do we dare to give their lives completely safe to others?

Taking the outdoor movie “Desperate Elevation” as an example, on the way back to the camp, Baker and Ning Zi have already died of physical exhaustion. The team members who came to the rescue chose the companions of the surviving action force, and the former was eventually left behind by teammates. Land waiting to die. This is actually the most basic disastrous piece of morality. When danger comes, choose a self-protection with a higher probability of surviving, or choose a team and not leave teammates. And Vertical Limit has the same opposite scenario: When someone is in desperation and endangers the lives of other players, cutting the rope may be the only option. This is the law of mountaineering. It does not mean that no aid, solidarity and mutual help are the most valuable assets in the mountaineering spirit, but why this scene should be displayed before everyone because the reality is cruel and you must understand if you want to choose This way of life must be courageous to face one day or your own or your partner will cut off the rope above your head.

In AA outdoors, besides yourself please do not rely on and rely on anyone. When everyone is in danger, what people think most is how to survive. Please don't expect someone to come to help you. They may have rushed to a safe place early. Do not want to rely on the leader. You When missing, he may leave you alone, or he may not know where he is when you are in danger; don't even want to rely on his lover and lover, you must know that in this world except yourself, only parents will sacrifice everything for you. .

The most thorough implementation of outdoor AA is "Alpinism", which is a mountaineering activity that does not rely on other people, and is totally or mainly dependent on the climber's own strength to climb various peaks, namely, alpine climbing. From 1786 to 1865, almost all the hills above 3,000 to 4000 meters above sea level in the country were set foot on foot. Later, the world's mountaineers claimed that this period was the golden age of the Alps.

If the ability does not meet the AA standard, then please choose a commercial team, it can also be understood as "Hi climbing, also known as "nanny climber": everything from vehicles, lines, food, housing to their consideration. , you just go, you can't move, you will have a back husband to help you back, walk can not even help you put the top, of course, as long as you have money.

Golden Rule II: Living Back

Safety is always the number one priority: From 2001 to 2014, mountaineering and outdoor sports suffered mountain accidents that claimed more than 300 lives.

In fact, the number of outdoor deaths in 10 years should be much larger than this number. According to the analysis of the rescue team, more than 90% of outdoor distress accidents are related to human factors. That is, outdoor trips are not fully prepared, including physical, technical, and psychological preparations. Many accidents occur. All of them are too blind and risky for their own activities. When unexpected situations occur, you must dare to "take care of yourself." This is not just referring to the team, but sometimes to someone.

Please remember forever that your "life" is not one of you, parents, wives, children, relatives and friends, and you also belong to them. Courage to challenge and dare to take risks. This is a commendable action, but many outdoor enthusiasts and snow mountain climbers will give a piece of advice: Safe outdoors, come back alive.

In many cases, players do not take into consideration the dangers of the upcoming attacks. However, if the team leader discovers them, they must put forward and stop them. Perhaps the physical condition is not good, maybe the equipment is not in balance, and there is no luck. Of course, this decision is painful, but there are "Retreat" has "get it", and the leader must understand that safety is always the number one priority! Must be safe outdoors, come back alive.

The more inexperienced climbers, the more likely they will be successful on their first attempt. This is only because we ignore luck and seize luck. Of course, this is very dangerous. You may escape luck once and twice with luck, but it doesn't make any sense for long-term climbers. The summit rate in the Himalayas is 1:3.

When Wang Shi first reached the summit of Everest, he exclaimed: “The scenery here is very beautiful. It is well worth a look at, but I think more about how to live.”

Golden Rule 3: Protecting Your Teammates, Your Second Life

"Desperate Altitude" can be said to make the most out of this rule: Doug's teammate Doug, trapped in physical exhaustion and trapped in time to go downhill, and the leader did not dissuade Doug from summiting (if discouraged by success, protection Teammates will be three people alive, and in the end this has led to instincts out of danger. Andy has received Rob's distress signal to return and save. Eventually his disappearance will result in a dead and alive situation.

In 1975, Xia Boxi challenged Everest with the Chinese mountaineering team. During the mountaineering process, Xia Bojun and his teammates encountered severe snowstorms. In the absence of food, they stayed for two days and three nights and eventually had to make a downward decision. On the way down, Zeng Duoji, a Tibetan teammate, lost his strength and eventually lost his sleeping bag. In the evening, watching the fragile teammates, Xia Bofang decided to send his sleeping bag to his teammate Tseng Dorjee, and he slept with his clothes. This also led to Shabby’s loss of consciousness on both feet, resulting in frostbite and necrosis and forced amputation. It can be said that Xia Boxi used his feet to save the life of his teammates.

A small accident of a teammate may lead to the destruction of the team and may also save a team. Please protect your teammates. This is to protect your team and protect yourself. No brothers do not climb.

This is not in contradiction with the first one: Taking good care of yourself forever is a rule that you can survive; protecting your teammates is a guarantee for achieving your goals.

Reminder: Especially in some technical mountain climbing, many routes need alternate protection. If you alone or with an injured teammate, can you imagine how difficult it will be.

Golden Rule 4: "Strength" determines your "participation" route

The new donkey that has never been on the plateau is going to go to Ota, to hike the grandson, to go to Charlotte, this is not playing outdoors, it is in life!

Do you allow yourself? Have you ever been to the plateau? How many lives do you have? Before registering, please measure your abilities and strengths! Many new donkeys complained that some old donkeys didn't bring them out. Some team leaders were proud to bring some MMs. This year's impetuous outdoor circle, many of the fledgling vegetable donkeys and new donkeys, were hard to challenge all day. The line, after returning, is even more proud of this "blow-off", "difficulties, but not Seoul". If the FB (luxury luxury) line is ok, but if ZN (self  abuse) or technical lines, then you must ask yourself, I have the ability to participate in such a line? And those who have walked through the vegetable donkey ask themselves whether it is your luck or whether the strength has been achieved. Please do not mislead.

Most of the time, an AA team, the strongest and the weakest teammate, will have a difference of days and days. The serious information and experience will be asymmetric: the choice of route, the choice of camp, the choice of travel equipment and the unknown difficulty. Processing, some things others may be careful to remind, some things may not realize that your equipment into the mountains can be cold water, whether the shoes can adapt to a variety of changes in the line, there is no more with a pair, socks have more Several pairs. If you do not notice some small details, then you will face more dangers and difficulties than your teammates.

In particular, some MMs always want to put their own safety on the team leader or on some male players. This is why the mountain accident always happens to girls. Outdoors are dangerous. When everyone enters the limit, the most important thing is to let them survive. Therefore, everyone must understand that sometimes when the danger comes, accidents often start from the weakest team members. If you want to participate in Alpinism, please increase your own strength!

Golden Rule 5: Please Control Your Limits and Features

In addition to pursuing a “higher, faster, and stronger” sporting spirit, outdoor sports emphasize participation, entertainment, and bravery, and pursue the pleasure and sense of achievement gained when crossing the psychological barrier.

However, in AA outdoors or Alpinism, be sure to keep a physical strength to face the difficulties behind, the mountain is still there, this time there is no next time, as long as you are still alive, the opportunity will always be. "Less talk, observe, and experience" is one of the signs of mature donkeys. And some people who are constantly on the move, donkeys, and even teammates who are jumping and jumping are often annoying and wasteful.

Good physical fitness, adequate physical reserves, and good physical condition are basic conditions for participating in outdoor sports. Progressively, do not participate in activities beyond your body's scope, and do not challenge your physical limits in outdoor activities.

When traveling, it is recommended that everyone needs to have their own specialty, such as identifying topographic maps, weather assessments, communications, navigation, rescue, logistics, technology, etc. There may be a leader, but he is only a team of communication and arbitrators, and Can not be the operator of everything. If you really want to have a place in the climbing circle, please study at least one of your specialties.

Golden Rule 6: Forever Saving a Bag of Saving Food

Players who play outdoors often have such a sense of security that they will always leave one or two boxes of compressed cookies for themselves. This is to prevent emergency rations when lost or lost.

The golden rescue time is generally within 72 hours, and usually the water in the mountains can get a certain guarantee, while the food is difficult to guarantee, but in the extreme case, a pack of compressed biscuits can usually reach the life-saving effect of rejuvenation. . Nothing small outdoor, always give yourself more preparations, perhaps more than a pound of action can make yourself alive, not to the final please do not consume your life-saving rations.

Leader "A is safe"

Rule 7 of the Golden Rule: Safety is always the first

Like the second rule of the golden rule, life is only once! Life is only once! Life is only once! In many cases, the life and death of a team lies between the leaders' ideas.

There is only one life. Please make a choice. Safety is always the first element of outdoor play, and it is the first element that the leader must master. Always remember that safety is always the first! Safety is always the first! Safety is always the first!

Rule 8 of the Golden Rule: We must respect the weather

Bad weather can turn an outdoor sunlight into a terrible, deadly hell. Take the Tai Tai route as an example, 80% of the mortality rate is related to weather changes.

As the leader, we must judge the weather in a timely manner. The sudden changes in the weather may make the team invisible to anyone. Snow and rain will make the blood of the players condense. You seem to have lost your ability to think and lost your way. Suddenly, you feel the pain of death tighten your heart, you feel extremely helpless. Your fingers and toes have lost consciousness. The ice clots you pale, and you and your companions desperately call for help in the blizzard. Everything is too late! Do not put you in the above situation. Read the weather forecast carefully to ensure that you understand the forecasts, and consider the weather changes carefully, and be prepared to “camp on the ground” and “down”.

Bad weather may meet unexpectedly. The mountain has its own laws of the weather. This weather change cannot be accurately predicted based on the weather conditions today. We cannot build a weather station on the top of the mountain. Therefore, the leader must trust the forecast of the weather forecast system on the one hand, but he must pay close attention to the changes in the mountains themselves. Place a fixed rope wherever possible and bring a compass. The camp must have safe lighting. Prevent all possible dangers.

Rule 9 of the Golden Rule: The principle of barrels must be mastered

The barrel effect principle believes that most people know that the amount of water that can fit in a bucket depends on the shortest piece of wood. A bucket wants to fill up with water, and each piece of wood must be equally flush and undamaged. If there is a piece of wood in the bucket or there is a hole under a piece of wooden board, the bucket cannot be filled with water. How much water a barrel can hold depends not on the longest piece of wood but on the shortest piece of wood.

And a reliable outdoor team is also here. In outdoor mountaineering, the strength of a team is usually determined by a good team leader. When teaming up, the team leader needs to fully understand the team's ability and strength. During the march, it is necessary to pay attention to the situation of the players at any time, arrange the speed according to the physical strength of the weakest players, and adjust the plans and schedule according to the strength of the weakest players so as to ensure the safety of the entire team. Any organization may face the same problem, that is, the various parts that make up the organization are often pros and cons, and the disadvantages often determine the level of the entire organization.

In this arrangement, some team leaders may feel unfair. However, since you bring it, you must consider the strength of the players in the safety plan.

Rule X of the Golden Rule: Always listen to reasonable opinions and suggestions from players

The team is most afraid of the leader and the team leader. The leader is usually a soul character in a team and even decides whether to live or die. However, the leader is not a panacea. In many cases, the team leader also has uncertain ideas.

In fact, the formation of an outdoor team usually has old donkeys and new donkeys, and many old donkeys don't experience worse than the leader, especially in lost roads, sudden changes in the weather, and team run-in. For this reason, on the one hand, the team members must make reasonable suggestions to the team leader at any time. On the other hand, the team leader must also accept modestly. Do not understand or show off; honestly face the limit of the ability of yourself and the entire team.

Rule 11 of the Golden Rule: These two types of players "can't"

Members who do not have the spirit of solidarity and coordination do not: donkeys, selfish donkeys, unorganized and undisciplined people. They have their own set of experiences, ideas, ideas, and even a selfish attitude. They have conflicting and rebellious emotions against some of the leaders’ decisions. In many cases, they insisted on acting in isolation and sometimes forming a small circle. This undoubtedly greatly impacted the original players and even caused catastrophic consequences for the entire team. Therefore, the team leader cannot control the players.

Players with very different strengths cannot bring (for ZN and technical lines): If the strength is too different, not only delaying the team's hind legs, but also may cause disunity between players, sometimes: "People are still new You don’t take care of the donkey.” Such a team member refuses to be a beauty or a handsome pot or refuses it, so it is good for the team.

Golden Rule Twelfth: Establishing a Team "First Aid Kit"

First aid kits are essential for every leader. But through the above points, you should know that you must establish your own first-aid kit, rather than buying the pharmacy's complete set of first-aid kits, because that kind of kit usually stuffs a lot of things that you are almost impossible to use.

You should set up a first-aid kit for the team based on the known routes so that you will know what's in there and how. Many times such a kit can save you or your teammates a life. In addition, one point to emphasize is that you need to keep a snake venom extractor.

Golden Rule No. 13: Must Buy "Insurance"

This is no need to talk about the old, "insurance" can not save lives, but for the team leader, for the team, for individuals, it is really important things, whether it is a day or two short-term or one-month long-term, people who do not buy insurance directly Retire it. Such teammates are irresponsible to themselves and even to their families!
