For newcomers, how to choose activities and how to start their first time is a big problem. If you ask some experienced ones, they may tell you a lot of wonderful memories, maybe make you yourself Go ask Baidu, here I want to share with the newcomers how to start their own outdoor life.
First, there are risks in the outdoors, and safety is the top priority
Everything has risks, not to mention the outdoors, there are many outdoor forums every year. Information about unexpected events, I sincerely hope that everyone can read this information carefully, learn from it and improve it. Risk is a possibility. Once the risk is transformed into reality, it is a danger. The consequences are large and small, and serious consequences will lead to death, and such consequences are not acceptable to us. Any activity has risks, and the risks can only be reduced, but not completely avoided. Control the risks within the range that you can bear. If you feel that the risks of this activity are beyond your tolerance, then please give up decisively. We don’t live for ourselves, think more about our family.
Second, physical strength is the foundation
Most of the activities are based on physical strength. It is understandable for mountaineering and hiking. Even photography, Thinking about the weight of those photographic equipment, it is impossible to carry it without physical strength. Some people may say that I don’t walk by myself, so if you sit in the car for 8 hours, how much will your physical exertion be? If you can’t recover quickly, how can you start the next game? For those friends who often sit in the office and don’t usually exercise, proper exercise is a must before starting outdoors. Without physical strength, it will not only hurt yourself, but also your teammates. So, please be careful.
Three, experience is accumulated slowly
Don’t envy those senior players and professionals, those people are our goals, but not with us on a starting line. Don’t think of riding a bike to Tibet today, and then go out with a bike tomorrow. Without preparation and reserves, most people will give up halfway. Success is an exception. Know who you are as a new person clearly, control your passions and impulses, and go step by step, because the mountain is there, the road is there, and as long as you are ready, it will always be there waiting for you. So, not every event is right for you, and don’t be lured by sensational headlines and photos, behind which we don’t know how much tears and sweat there are. The last thing we want is for your first outdoors to become your last outdoors.
4. Teamwork
Business team or AA team, as long as we form a team, then we are a team. As a member of the team, everyone must be responsible for themselves and also for their friends. The so-called risk and responsibility is just a shirk. In the team, the individual becomes less important, and the harmony of the team will add luster to the whole activity. In the event, we must understand two team effects, the first is the barrel effect, how much water a barrel can hold depends on the shortest board, that is, a team, whether the event goes smoothly depends on the weakest one Teammate; the second is the thin horse effect, two horses and camels have the same thing, one horse is strong and easy to hunch, and the other is very thin, and it is very difficult to hunch. The thin horse wanted the strong horse to help the camel, but was rejected and died of exhaustion later. Then the owner brought the thin horse’s stuff to the strong horse, and finally, the strong horse died of exhaustion! The so-called team spirit is to be able to help teammates in difficult times.
Understand the above, be aware of your situation, and do more to prepare before you want to participate in the event.
1. Arming the mind
Learn relevant knowledge and skills. Prepared activities can be called adventures, and unprepared activities are called adventures. We can go on adventures, but we must never take risks. For an activity, we need to know a lot of content, for example, the physical strength and equipment requirements of such an activity, what kind of risks this activity may have, and what kind of skills are required. After understanding these, we have to learn in a targeted manner, how to organize equipment, how to walk, how to distribute physical strength, how to reduce risks and so on. Although many times the organizer or team leader will teach you some content in the event, but with the previous learning, you will be able to learn and absorb faster, because the safety is in your own hands.
Second, arming the body
As mentioned above, physical strength is the foundation of any outdoor activity, so it is necessary to exercise properly. Another point, friends with better physical conditions, can not blindly be brave, the body is the capital of the outdoors, you must learn to protect yourself in outdoor activities. Choose good outdoor equipment to arm yourself. After all, we can’t compare with the local villagers. They can liberate shoes, woven bags, and ripped cotton jacket
s, but we must have hiking shoes, hiking bags, and down jackets. In addition to some necessary equipment, some auxiliary equipment is also important, such as trekking poles. In theory, walking with two poles can effectively reduce physical energy consumption by 30%, but if you do not use it, it will increase physical energy consumption. Therefore, before using it, you need to To learn how to use trekking poles to walk; you can also use knee pads to protect your knees; use leggings to relieve fatigue; reduce the weight of old energy, reduce the load on the body, etc. I’m sorry, I don’t see him as an outdoor enthusiast for this kind of “uncle”!)
The first time a newcomer is outdoors, he will encounter all kinds of problems, as I said earlier It may only be a small aspect of it, and there may be more problems. Friends who are here for the first time are also welcome. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them. I believe that many old members here will patiently tell everyone. explain. I wish you all a great start to 2012.
