What are the precautions for mountaineering camping?

Mountaineering is a sport that we often see in our daily life. More and more people are joining the ranks of mountaineering. On the one hand, it can exercise our legs and feet and relieve the pressure on the cervical spine. On the other hand, it will also make us feel refreshed. Now that work pressure is getting higher and higher, going out for mountaineering and camping has become a way to relieve stress. So what are the precautions for mountaineering and camping!

1. Things to note when hiking

1. It is best to travel in groups of at least three people, so that you can help and take care of each other along the way. But it is best not to have too many people, otherwise they will interfere with each other and make movement inconvenient. Take less and lighter luggage, but be sure to bring some common medicines.

2. Before setting off, you should understand the various conditions of the areas you need to pass through, your own physical condition (for example, people with lower limb vascular disease, skin ulcers and flat feet are not suitable for hiking) and the climate conditions at that time.

3. When hiking in summer, avoid the hottest time from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., and wear a straw hat and keep a water bottle full of water to avoid heatstroke. Know when to quench your thirst. It is best to prepare a pot of tea and add some salt. Tea can quench thirst, and salt can prevent excessive sweating from causing salt deficiency in the body.

4. You need to master the walking speed. Generally, it should be slightly slower at the two ends and slightly faster in the middle. You should walk slowly at the beginning and then speed up after a few days. You should take a long break during the day, usually at noon. Resting places should avoid direct sunlight and low-lying, humid places.

5. Ensure adequate sleep time and nutritional supplements. Do not eat only dry food for a long time. Try to eat more fresh fruits and vegetables.

6. When hiking, it is ideal to wear tourist shoes or special hiking shoes, because such shoes have a certain elasticity, are light, breathable, and non-slip. They can provide moderate cushioning for the brain and reduce foot swelling caused by long-distance walking. You can also wear half-new, half-old rubber shoes. In case you choose the wrong shoes or have an incorrect gait, and feel pain or friction in a certain part of your foot while walking, you can stick a piece of medical tape there or a piece of single-sided tape on the corresponding part of the shoe. In general, this can prevent blisters.

7. If you are going on a long-distance hiking tour, it is best to do several adaptive training sessions before departure, gradually increasing the amount of exercise to enhance endurance. When walking, land on the soles of your feet, use moderate force, and maintain your body balance.

8. Wash your feet with warm water after walking every day to relieve fatigue. When there are blisters on the soles of your feet, you can use a needle (wipe it with an alcohol cotton ball or burn it over fire first) to pierce the hole to drain the water, and then apply mercurochrome to prevent infection. Remember not to tear off the skin, as this will easily lead to infection and aggravate the pain in your feet.

9. When hiking up a mountain, the body should lean forward slightly; when climbing a steep slope, a zigzag route should be taken; when going down the mountain, the body should lean back slightly and relax the lower limb muscles to avoid back and leg pain.

10. When hiking, you should determine your daily itinerary based on your physical condition, generally walking 4 to 5 kilometers per hour. After each walk, you can choose to rest for 15 minutes in the shade of trees, pavilions, etc. to restore your strength.

11. There is fun in taking a long detour. Don't always take the same route. Take a detour and take a look at the surrounding environment, as it changes depending on the climate and season. Sometimes it's good to stop and observe carefully, you may make new discoveries.

12. Personal clothing for hiking In addition to the basic items mentioned above, it is very important to have a pair of shoes that you think are comfortable and convenient for long-distance travel. The soles should not be too thin and you should avoid wearing new leather shoes.

The above is a detailed answer to the precautions for mountain climbing and camping. When mountaineering, you also need to pay attention to your food, clothing, housing and transportation. You must make adequate preparations in advance so that when you encounter some emergencies, you can effectively avoid danger and get out of danger as soon as possible. I hope the above information can be of some help to everyone.
