How to get lost in the wild

People who like to climb in the wild tend to walk down a trail (tour route) and often want to go down a new route without a road. This often leads to lost, trapped in the mountains. What if I get lost?

â–  Try to get back to the mountain where there was a tourist mountain. Even if you have already reached the bottom of the valley and you are already tired, you have to bite your teeth and climb up. Don't be lazy and don't feel lucky to try another way.

â–  If you can't find the mountain that originally had a tourist trail, try to find a stream and follow the stream. In general, the stream will lead you out sooner or later. When you come across a waterfall, you have to find a way to bypass the waterfall and continue along the stream.

â–  If there are no streams in the mountains, what you should do is still trying to climb a higher hill. According to the sun or distant reference (such as villages, reservoirs, roads) to identify the general direction and orientation, in this direction, select a suitable target hill, easy to identify, to the target hill.

â–  If you have many people, you may consider splitting people into two groups.

One group stays at the top of the hill, while the other group goes down the hill and heads toward the hill in another direction. People who go down should always look back and consult the followers on the hilltop about their own direction. If they deviate from the correct direction, the people on the top of the mountain must use sound or gestures to remind them to correct mistakes. When the climbers climbed onto another hill, they again commanded the people who stayed at the top to go down the hill. In this way, using the "relay command" approach to cross, will not be spinning in the valley.

â–  If there is only one person for a climber, the only thing he can do is to continue to look up at the target hill that he had selected when he is able to identify a good position to descend. If only you calmly and calmly think of ways, Will surely come out of the mountains, out of danger.

So how can we avoid being trapped in the wild? Did you not get lost with a compass or map? These are not very useful for general mountaineers who lack experience in field activities. The most prudent approach is to walk along the old road. Do not leave the trail in a dauntless way and go down the hill from the "new road." If you are interested in taking a new path to “exploration”, be sure to make full preparations, tell family members and friends before you walk, bring enough food and drinking water, and make eye-catching signs along the way so that you can walk back if you can’t get out. .
