What are the must haves for wild rafting?

Walking in the wild, walking is the basic skill of life, walking in the wild, is the basic skill of survival activities in the wild, the basic principle is safety, that is, to avoid dangerous accidents and disorientation, save physical strength and improve the speed of travel, the principle of mountain road marching is to walk the beam not to go to the ditch, go longitudinal and not horizontal, when there is a road, it is not necessary to say that you walk along the road, and do not go through the forest over the mountain, when there is no road, try to be in the ridge, the mountain beam is sparsely wooded, the terrain of these places is relatively simple, the field of vision is relatively broad, and you must not walk in the deep ditch and dense forest, shrubs and bamboo forests, the march of the valley. River crossing, do not rush into the water, should be carefully observed, swampy travel, avoid or bypass, crossing the river is an obstacle often encountered in field activities, some rivers pass slowly, clear to the bottom, some are deep and rapid, reconnaissance to do a good idea, after observation to determine the location and method of crossing the river, choose the river water is shallow, the water flow is gentle, no reefs, undercurrents and whirlpools of the location, when wading across the river, you should wear shoes, you can avoid the bottom of the river pointed stones to cut the foot, but also can better maintain balance, if the bottom of the river is silt bottom, You should take off your shoes and socks and cross the river barefoot.

In the field activities, accommodation and camping are very important, and the selection of campsites should follow the four basic principles of safety, shelter from wind, near water, and flat: a. Safety: The selection of campsites must avoid all kinds of dangers, that is, the camp should be far away from the threat of danger between cracked rocks. b. Shelter from the wind

Strong winds in the wild can blow the tent away and tear it apart, so it's best to choose a sheltered place from a barrier, such as behind a hill or boulder; c. Close to water: The camp is a temporary place for the activity to spend the night and live, and the proximity to the water source will bring a lot of convenience, but the camp in the two rocks of the river must fully consider the rise and fall of the water flow of the waterway, so as not to flood the tent; d. Flat: The camp is built on the flat ground or snow surface is much more comfortable than the uneven gravel pile, the soft soil is the ideal place to camp, if there are gravel and thorns on the ground should be removed, when preparing to camp, the public tent should be set up first, the cooking tent should be set up at the downwind of the camp, the stove should be built, a pot of water should be boiled, and then the warehouse tent and the respective camping tent for storing public equipment should be set up upwind in turn.

Also, don't forget to put up a simple toilet downwind, away from the water source, so that you don't have to rush to use it.

Emergency water: take water directly from the plant, in the southern jungle, there are wild plantains everywhere, also called cactus, the inner core of this plant has a large water content, in addition to the roots of the bamboo can also store water in several bamboo nodes, shake the bamboo stems, hear the sound of gurgling water, cut a small hole with a knife at the bottom of each bamboo joint, pour out the water inside can be drunk, the above method is effective in the emergency lack of water. Camping:

Camping should be adapted to local conditions, camping in the mountains and coasts, should try to use the natural caves, can not find a suitable cave, can choose a leeward rock wall camping, in the jungle can use trees, bamboo, rattan, thatch to build a shelter, heat preservation, windproof, moisture-proof, control food fuel, the amount of consumption, rest well, with the surrounding items to ensure safety.

Sometimes, if you accidentally step on a rock, you should immediately speak up and notify the person who is coming up from below. Usually easy to float stones, we call pumice, where there are many stones, the color of pumice stone is newer than the surrounding stones, you can tell if you look closely, and avoid stepping on pumice stones when walking.

Use plastic tape, branches or stones on the mountain road to make marks, and the person who walks in front of the leader, when encountering a situation, should make a sign to notify the people who follow behind, and the sign should be placed in an easily visible and safe place, and do not make some meaningless marks and confuse its marks.

Back to the place of acquaintance. Walking in the mountains, once you get lost, quickly return to the place you know, and use the compass and map to determine the location of the prescription and the destination place. Pay more attention to the surrounding scenery and signs when resting, and do not go straight downhill, because the downhill road has a small field of vision and the direction is not easy to identify.

In field activities, to test people's ability to survive in the wild, to some extent can depend on the ability to make fire, you can use hand rubbing and bow cutting type to drill wood for fire, hit a thick 1-2cm dead branch, cut smooth with a knife, sharpen one end of the dead branch, the ignition can find some dry leaves, weeds, cut a V-shaped gap with a knife on the edge of the board, put the dead branch in the V-shaped gap, and repeatedly twist the dead branch with both hands, and ignite the fire.

The most important thing for rafting is to ensure that the tools you are riding on can be used normally, whether there are safety measures on the tools, and that you have enough luggage, food, medical supplies and other necessities.

First of all, I saw that the turbulent clouds had become larger, and soon they would become thunderclouds, so I quickly found a way to hide in a safe place. If you listen to the radio on a small radio, there is a harsh noise, which means that there are thunderclouds nearby, and suddenly large raindrops fall, which is also a sign of thunder.

I think that when drifting in the wilderness, you may not be very clear about the underwater situation, and if there is a sudden raised stone or a hard stone, it is also a hazard to the hull or personal safety.

Be sure to pay attention to finding a reliable teammate, pig teammates must not be! It's better not to be alone! It's best to find someone with experience to play with!

The most important thing is to pay attention to safety, rafting is a more challenging project, do not bring valuables on your body, and wear more convenient clothes.

The first thing you need to pay attention to is to pay attention to safety, you must listen to what the rafting instructor says, and you must bring a swimming ring.

There will be no danger.

Preparation before rafting.

Bring more clothes: rafting will inevitably get "wet", and it is very uncomfortable to go ashore without dry clothes to change. Rafting is not subject to leather shoes, flat slippers, plastic sandals and touring shoes are fine.

In bad weather, it is cold on the water, and in good weather, it is necessary to pay attention to cold and sun protection, and it is best not to use too expensive clothing, shoes and hats for rafting.

Only drinking water, mobile phones, pagers, documents and cash ...... were brought on the raftDon't bring anything that is afraid of water.

Parents' note: Children who are too young should not float, and even if they can swim. The river in the mountains is complicated, full of rapids and rapids, and it is dangerous for ignorant children to move around in the boat.

Rafting precautions.

Don't do dangerous actions when rafting: Generally speaking, the rafting section is relatively safe, as long as you don't get off the boat casually, don't fight with each other, and don't take the initiative to grab the floating objects in the water and the grass, trees and stones on the shore, the raft will not capsize. It doesn't matter if you "capsize", just hold your breath and be careful not to choke on the water, because you are wearing a life jacket;

When the drifting boat passes through the dangerous shoal, it should obey the command of the boatman, do not move casually, should grasp the safety rope, tighten the feet, and tilt the body towards the hull;

What should I pay attention to when participating in rafting.

1. The rafting period is from April to October every year;

2. When departing, it is best to bring a set of clean clothes to change when you get off the boat, and it is also best to bring a pair of plastic slippers to wear on the boat;

3. If there is capsizing or other accidents, the rafting company and the insurance company will not compensate the tourists for the lost cash and items; If you feel that the opportunity is rare and you must bring a camera, it is best to bring a low-value point-and-shoot machine, wrap it in a plastic bag in advance, open it when you are on a flat beach, wrap it when you cross a dangerous beach, and be mentally prepared to throw it into the water;

4. The first thing to do on board is to read the rafting instructions carefully, follow the arrangements of the staff, put on a life jacket, and find the safety rope;

5. If you participate in rafting under the condition that the weather temperature is not high, you can buy raincoats at the starting point of rafting;

6. When the drifting boat passes through the dangerous shoal, it should obey the command of the staff, do not move casually, grasp the safety rope, tighten the feet, and tilt the body towards the hull;

7. In case of capsizing, you don't need to panic at all, you have to be calm, because you are wearing a life jacket;

8. Do not get off the boat to swim casually, and even if you swim, you should swim on the calm water according to the advice of the boatman, and you should not move independently away from the hull.

Whitewater adventures are a rather dangerous sport in ecotourism, and everyone must understand and observe the cordon. This safety alert does not eliminate the risk, but it reduces the risk to an acceptable level, and the rafting experience is very helpful, but the slightest negligence in safety can also lead to tragedy. So, what safety measures should you pay attention to when playing rafting?

1. Deep dust into the study of the river channel ready for rafting. Find detailed maps and guides to study the river's flow, slope, and seasons.

Fluctuations, climate, difficulties, currents and special dangers, especially due to the rainy season, snowmelt and sluice leakage caused by sudden fluctuations.

2. Wear a life jacket at all times. Preferably a life jacket similar to the one worn by pilots.

3. Carefully avoid river hazards:

High water level When the flow of water increases, it greatly increases the danger, force and difficulty of rescue. Rivers that are safe at low water levels tend to be killers when they are high.

Cold: The cold can quickly rob you of your strength and ability to save yourself. When the water level or temperature is very low, wear a stuffy eggplant winter jacket or cardigan under a trench coat. Everyone should keep a set of dry clothes in a waterproof bag.

In cold water, even a short swim can cause hypothermia, and you should think about heating up immediately after coming ashore (baking a fire, changing dry clothes, sleeping in a sleeping bag, eating hot food and drinking alcohol, squeezing in naked, etc.). Cold spells and high water levels often come together, especially in late spring. In cold and high water seasons, a warm winter suit is an important part of safety equipment.

Strainers Bushes, fallen trees, piles of wood, bridge piles, or anything else that allows water to flow through can tip a boat. Anything that is wound in this way creates a huge amount of water pressure.

Countercurrents and dams When the water passes through an obstacle and then swirls backwards, the surface of the water will form a countercurrent and will be able to catch any floating objects between the fall and the waves. An artificial weir cannot be passed. The swimmer's greatest desire is to catch the downstream at the bottom and sides of the hollow.

The last lifesaving measure is to take off your life jacket to reduce your buoyancy and increase your chances of sinking into the water.

4. Wear tennis shoes when swimming or taking a quick walk to get help to protect your feet from rocks.

5. First of all, we must know life-saving measures, including artificial respiration. Bring a first-aid kit.

6. Conduct emergency procedure training. Know how to deal with subsidence, flipping, etc. Able to swim in and through rapids and tie ropes to the boat.

7. Brother Ant is sure that your equipment is in good condition. There were no loose ropes on the outside of the boat to wrap around people. Bring a repair kit, air pump, and safety rope.

8. Participate in organized group outings. Indicate the lead boat and accompanying boat (bring a first aid kit, repair kit, air pump and safety rope). Each boat was in turn within a visible distance behind it.

Keep a safe distance between boats so that you don't run into rapids.

10. Stop a boat underneath all major rapids so that necessary assistance can be provided.

Preparation before rafting:

1. Long clothes and trousers. The rafting time is long, ** after being exposed to direct sunlight after hitting the water, it is easy to get sunburned, try to wear quick-drying clothes;

2. Sunscreen. Sunscreen (brimmed hats, bandanas, sunscreen, sunglasses, strings, etc.) can be used according to the weather;

3. Beach shoes. The inside of the boat will inevitably enter the water during rafting, and if you are barefoot, it is easy to scratch when disembarking or capsizing, so beach shoes are the best choice;

4. Waterproof bag. The waterproof bag can be used to store mobile phones, cameras, lighters, cigarettes and other items that are afraid of moisture. Because the river is more humid, and the river water is cold and the sun is hot, the waterproof bag will also close forward to return the moisture.

The waterproof bag must be tied to the boat or body with a rope or quick hanger to avoid unnecessary losses caused by accidents and other situations;

5. Water washing tools. You can use any tools such as water bottles and water scoops, and the water scoop is easier to use when there is more water in the boat, and the mineral water is much more convenient when there is less water;

6. Gloves. In order to prevent our little hands from foaming during the rowing, it is recommended that each of us wear a pair of thin gloves.

Precautions in rafting:

1. Life jacket: Before entering the water, you must wear a life jacket, and tie the placket belt and belt tightly, because once the boat capsizes, this clothing is a life-saving baby;

2. Boat: Choose a boat with sufficient inflation and check whether there is air leakage. A boat with insufficient inflation is not only tiring to row, but also has poor elasticity, and is more likely to capsize than a boat with sufficient inflation when passing through certain sections.

In the process of rafting, pay attention to whether the hull of the boat is scratched by sharp stones, once you find or have doubts about the current situation of the boat, immediately report with the team leader or drifter, and then dock close to the shore where you can stay for inspection;

3. Boat driving skills: During the drifting process, the hull should be kept in the direction of the current as much as possible, especially in places where the waves are strong and rapid, and the direction of the hull should be adjusted at any time, so that it is not easy to run aground and capsize;

4. Capsizing and falling into the water (this is the most important): Drifting in the wave river, capsizing is not surprising, basically belongs to the reason for improper operation, and there is no panic after falling into the water, as long as the life jacket is worn and fastened, there will be no danger to life. After falling into the water, the body will have a sinking process, don't be nervous, just hold your breath, the buoyancy of the water and the life jacket will soon lift you out of the water.

If you fall into the water at the rapids, don't kick and kick the struggle, it is easy to be hit by the stones at the bottom of the river, just keep your body balanced and go down the river. If you encounter a rock that is out of the water, you can grab it and wait for rescue. If you can't meet it, you will soon have drift guards and teammates to help.

5. Water fight: Rafting is boring without water fight, but don't forget the time when you have a water fight, it will not affect the speed of the whole team!
