Outdoor activities on foot through the skills of different road

Walking through is a major form of outdoor activities. In the complex and diverse terrain, inaccessible places, there is no ready way to go, no clear signs to indicate direction, relying on the map, compass, plus read their minds and feet every inch of land in the elegant and refined, or the vicissitudes of the old place leave their footprints in the gloomy quiet or Smart jump observe and learn all kinds of useful knowledge is a meet. The walk through the activities without road traffic will have a direct bearing on whether we can successfully pass through, poor road conditions sometimes make us vulnerable, such as walking can be a good grasp of the skills of different road, the road will be more easily and more enjoyable. Walking forward, security of and happy with, now several common outdoor walking across the road on foot to collect and collate this experience, want to enjoy outdoor activities and engaged in field operations to help friends.

1, the stone pavement

Surface characteristics:

This road was seen in the stone cliff, cliffs or rocky fault, the mountain areas of exposed bedrock, or formed by the entire stone surface, or formed by a number of rock surface, it was the stone paved road. As the road surface smooth and more moss, it is easy to slip in the event of rain and snow prone to accidents, ranging from falls, Wei feet, while in fracture injuries.

Walking experience:

Rain, up the mountain in addition to non-slip shoes to wear outside, but also relaxed mood. Do not focus too much when walking forward, the focus and direction to the vertical surface of the stone, to make use of walking sticks. Back big package should be the central focus of the package side, the hand-leaning rock or tree as much as possible. Be sure to use trekking poles down the center of gravity slightly forward. Placement of the foot as much as possible the gap between the stone step, or on the roadside vegetation. It should be between two people to distance, to avoid a fall after uprooting several. After the snow, if any specialized equipment, the best crampons with four teeth, if you do not have professional equipment, the foot must fall or vegetation roots on the street, walking sticks are essential, of course, no walking sticks can also find the length of size for branches, sticks instead.

2, jump stone pavement

Surface characteristics:

The so-called jump stone is no obvious way, the so-called "road" mainly from the valley and gully erosion by rain and flash floods long form. Or a road, but the surrounding agricultural land, farmers in the farming land in the stones will be thrown sorting, stacking on the road, the long run will make a way into the stones of different sizes road, walking in the road, you need to rock jumping forward, spinning, streams, boulders mixed staggered, "Murder" four volts.

Walking experience:

To overcome the fear of jumping stone is the most important, which requires attention. The rainy season, before the onset of heavy rain, heavy rain just after the jump, do not go to Stone Canyon, careful flash floods. Prepare a good pair of hard-bottom a little thicker merrell hiking Shoes, jump stone in the shoe is loose before the first check, and then make backpack straps and belt tightening, so close to the back pack, so jumping bag shaking, center of gravity lead to slip. Walking in the jumping stone pavement in front of the eyes to observe the situation and accurately determine the next foothold, to observe some of the stones left on the end result of long-term as dark marks. In addition, make sure to clean soles, soles glued sand if we should be careful of your knees and the front teeth myself.

3, the soil surface

Surface characteristics:

This road is the most common, mainly due to the formation of stone weathering and ground vegetation cover not long after a stampede of people formed. Perhaps you think this is the best way to go, what to pay attention to it! The idea that this is wrong. The rainy season this road is the legendary mud road, very easy to fall, injury to the knee.

Walking experience:

After rain the sun exposure, dirt road surface has been dried, but actually absorb enough water, this time on a dangerous downhill is easy, take this road must grasp when the soles to make full use of trekking poles as pivot, so as not to pay attention to a foot deep into the mud. In addition, the temperature difference between day and night in spring and autumn, Yu Xuetian Houtu Pavement is very easy to freeze, the risk coefficient is relatively high, in which case the down time and make full use of trekking poles can help climb things, pay attention to climb supporting objects must first ensure that the pivot is solid, it is very important.

4, bushes

Surface characteristics:

Include a variety of shrubs, bushes can be roughly divided into natural and artificial reforestation bushes. Mainly distributed in the natural bush in dense jungle, more and more low shrubs, usually soft wet soil, there may be swamps, more dangerous; bush plantations mainly the foothills of the climate drier slopes, man-made planting sand-fixing soil used, where the soil is generally dry, with more sand stone, hard, in fact, looks like a step on the slide.

Walking experience:

Go bush to bring glasses, hat, pull jacket zipper, team members should remain at least 1.5 m between the distance, to prevent the front of his teammates bounced back with a back injury to the branches themselves. Remind his teammates attention back too far away from easy to get lost! Walk through natural bush type is best experienced with auxiliary equipment and the team leader or local guide to explore the way ahead, pay attention to shrubs and more with short spines, more mosquitoes, it is recommended to wear High non-slip soles to help, large and convex lines deep jungle boots, wear long sleeves, long pants, pay attention to facial protection. More natural bush bush plantation high and prickly shrubs, it is recommended to prepare gloves (preferably leather), high-necked long-sleeved clothes and scratch-resistant anti-slip grip and good jeep hiking shoes, as far as possible in the bush on foot of such soil does not slip away, wide road, the best fresh and leaning branches of live trees can support the hand, for hand sticks firmly, slowly settled to steady.

5, through the snow

Surface characteristics:

Snow snow snow due to the formation of the road, due to snow cover, terrain and road conditions can not judge the situation will be very complicated. Wet snow led to the resistance greater, walking inconvenience.

Walking experience:

When walking in the snow, or walking in the snow on the ground a long time, the most important thing is small and stride to maintain a fixed pace, the pace of the rhythm on their own to walk. If the random speed, or pace too often cause fatigue, loss of rhythm. Take leisurely walks in the snow, according to its own rhythm is very important. If the snow had buried the shoes only to the extent that it hardly affects the pace can be Rulvpingdi like walking (on the knee high snow, the only proudly quite taxing. Not to mention fatigue, drowsiness. If the waist-deep snow, you have to use their feet and pushing back the snow in front of us to take every step and the walk is called "snow way forward" in order to minimize fatigue, snow ahead of the tips is their the body (especially upper body) tend to forward direction, the focus on their own and their own body weight to push the snow forward and if the number of people below the knee forces in walking in the snow the snow level, the pace required to overlap with the footprints of the leading players forward, so to walk more than three thousand three hundred twenty-two messy, to be much lower fatigue. walking in the soft snow or deep snow, wear snow shoes are not afraid of the foot will fall into the snow, and can comfortably walk in the snow.

Walking on the slopes need more attention, the slopes as steep, difficult walking, combined with snow covering the ground, not only to pay attention to prevent fractures, but also careful not to tread the snow fall. Junction in the ice and snow slopes where snow is often deep, action must end groups (2-3 per group) through. The snow bridge Snow bridge open by detecting the actual situation, to re-pass over. If the snow is soft, but this passage must be creeping road. Climbing steep snow slope, we must stand before the feet move. Step forward, to use his legs forefoot snow, step into a level and then move the back foot. If you accidentally slipped, prone to immediately prevent the decline. Climbing slopes, less obvious cracks take place. On the march in the snow, the snow hard to pick a place to go. Take the heat, do not quench their thirst with snow, ice and snow suddenly swallowed, easy to get laryngitis. It was thirsty calendar harm, can be used to melt ice and snow mouth, try not to pharynx to the stomach, the water will increase the burden of human circulatory organs, the impact strength. In the soft snow on a long walk, to cross-step, to shorten the time to walk in the snow. Feet when walking back instincts that first, and then step up into the front of the heels. Feet back to make room for activities before the snow shoes, brushed forward, can have played a role with the snow. Take the steep, snow shoes to use the step edge slope, try to avoid the outer edge of the body bias. Very hard frozen snow, the snow shoes to walk off. Road in the valley, the valley should be close to the center line, to avoid slopes of the Rolling Stones.

6, mountain walking mountain often by fluctuating Ridge hills or ditch formed between streams, cliff or forest cluster. The road is often more complex, may appear in front of the stone road, dirt road, jumping stone, shrubs, etc., need to walk through the integrated application of various techniques.

Surface characteristics:

Walking experience: in the mountain road, to avoid lost, save energy, improve road speed, should not seek to have Chuan Lin and crosses the road, there are no corners were cut road. If there is no road, you can choose vertical ridge, ridge, mountain, rivers and creeks edge, as well as tree height, forest thinning, gap large, sparse low bushes on the road terrain. Generally do not go deep canyons and large deep groove lush grass, rattan bamboo interwoven place, and strive to take the beam does not go ditch, do not go away longitudinal cross. Road should follow the principle of stride, mountain, too. If the pace increased, three-step and two steps away, dozens of kilometers down, then you would step in many steps, save a lot of physical strength. As the saying goes: "afraid of growing slowly afraid of station." When the fatigue, the application of slow relaxation to rest, but do not stop, stand for a minute, slow it can get out of tens of meters.

Mountain walking, often encounter a variety of rocks and steep slopes. Therefore, the main rock climbing mountaineering skills. In rock climbing before, careful observation of the rock should carefully identify the quality and degree of weathering of rocks, and then determine the direction and climb through the line. Rock climbing is the most basic "three fixed" law, requiring climbers hands and feet can do well with the action. Hands or feet hand foot fixed, move the other point, the body center of gravity gradually increased. This character, to prevent channeling and Mengjin jump, and avoid moving at the same time points, and must be stable, light, fast, according to their own circumstances, to choose the most suitable distance from the fulcrum and the most solid, not cross-step and catch, kicking a point too far.

Mountain slopes and scree is the most widely distributed among a terrain. At an altitude of 3,000 meters below the mountain, in addition to other cliffs, almost mostly grass and scree. Climb 30 degrees slopes, along the straight up. Body slightly forward, the whole sole, knees bent, feet were outside the eight-shaped, do not move too fast. When the slope is greater than 30 degrees, along a straight line is more difficult to climb. Because the two ankle joints bad stretch, fatigue; steep slope, gravel and easy rolling, easy to slip. Therefore, generally adopt a "" shaped rise method. That is in accordance with "the" shape on the angular horizontal line. Climbing the legs slightly bent, upper body leaning forward, inside straight ahead, full sole, lateral toes slightly outward write. Through the grass, be careful not poking lead climbing trees and grass spread, so as not to pull people off the fall. In the scree on the road, paying particular attention to ease the foot, the heels should be light, so as not to rock rolling. Be careful not to slip in the road, immediately facing slopes, with open arms, straight legs (toes curled), move the body center of gravity as possible, to reduce the sliding speed. In this way, you can try to find the slide and lead climbing supports. Do not sit facing out, because that will not only slip faster, but also in the steeper slopes is also easy to roll.

Mountain road in the rainy season, should try to avoid low-lying land, such as valleys, rivers and streams to prevent flash floods and landslides. In case of thunderstorms, immediately to the nearby low-lying ground or dense bush to go, do not hide in the tall trees. Trees often lead to ground lightning, people hit by lightning. Lightning storm, the temporary storage of metal items should be easy to find a place, not with me, you can find low-lying areas prone to. In the case of mountain snow, fog, strong winds and other inclement weather, should stop moving, to avoid the cliff or cave, until the weather improves before you go. Mountain road not to overestimate their own strength, fatigue, it should be timely rest. Do not come soon tired out before going to bed, so not easy to regain their strength and longer follow also have no interest. The correct way is to take a big step, and then slowly relax a slow, or stop to take a break, breath. Standing at rest, not relieved with a backpack loaded, can support a stick under the bag to reduce body weight. If the weather is cold, do not sit on a rock to rest, the stone will absorb body heat quickly away.

7, across the river

Features: outdoor walking through a river may encounter problems, we can usually rely on maps to determine whether there is a large area across the river, but in more complex terrain height above sea level, especially the larger, stronger cutting Valley area, a seemingly small streams often cross the barrier, in the storm-prone season, the original can not be a deterrent Gully may be a small surge flooding of the river. Therefore, across the river through the river must be carefully chosen locations.

Walking experience: The best way is to look for or ask the locals about the bridge through the bridge position, as a last resort ready to walk across the river. In the river, the priority is to carefully observe the flow situation. Slow water flow, through the optional shallower and easily landed on the shore landing. In the waterfall just above or beside the river is usually darker, and more water, must not be through. Narrow river upstream, wade across the river may be feasible - but first try to use the pole the depth of the river. Rock may be settled, can also be artificially placed stones, wading the river to help themselves. Expedition team, some people may be able to jump directly to the narrow valley, or stream through the use of rock, but if many people can not do, not much significance. In addition, from the smooth rock fall easily sprained ankle. Outside the normally rough river estuary, the river is very wide, and even some tidal river, not in his office across. Unless there is a raft or float boat, or upstream, or shall forward, searching for the river crossing. In the broad river, there is no alternative but conditional capacity, swimming across the river may be bundled floating row, even with a raft and float the boat, and do not easily pass through. Is likely to be washed away by the river, farther and farther away from the other side of the ideal. But it also was based on the actual situation - water and waves on the degree to which the impact of navigation. If the water temperature is too low, you can make a raft, when you reach the other side, the only wet feet, dry fire in time.

Only in very shallow water, only the wet shoes and socks, you can consider to wade across the river. Wading across the river to cross the river when the generally adopt a slash, that is to come ashore in the downstream direction of the target. Cross the river itself is a very dangerous thing, should wear socks shuffling wading through. In addition, leaning on crutches to take root in the upper easier to balance. Rope (climbing rope) is also a good tool, one end of the rope fixed to the river, the other end tied to the front of the person's waist to go, people will walk in the back of greater protection. Wading across the river's depth to the knee prevail, if the waist-deep water, unless water flow especially slow, or unable to move, let alone across the river the. Back to the other side, the body has a tilt angle with the river, the water will help you move to the other side. Step is not too large, shuffling walk. Water depth with a stick test to detect the end-result is reliable. Rapids should avoid wading through direct, non-weather event can not, should be ready to thick and long wooden sticks, rocks into the river to draw semicircle where the diagonal through the center. Trousers or float bags can replace the spare tire mountain, logs or wood chips can be put to good use in order to facilitate crossing
