Rules of conduct in the trekking excursion or tourist

Employment in tourism helps to strengthen health, develop endurance and get new impressions. However, such a holiday is always fraught with danger, whether it is a hike with a lodging or a one-day tour of the mountainous or wooded area. There is always a chance to get injured or unwillingly to harm fellow travelers. To avoid this, you need to know the rules of conduct in the campaign.

Dressing properly

Clothes should be durable, free and always match the weather and season. Shoes are better to choose closed with a hard sole. Girls about heels should be forgotten, with them is a high probability to dislocate or break a leg.

In a hike, a hat is always required. In hot weather, it protects from sunstroke, and in the cool - from the wind. To avoid overheating, it is not necessary to wrap very tightly. It is better to put the blouse with you and put it on when it really gets cold.

Do not forget to take a change of clothes, rain protection and a set for sleep, if the trip with an overnight stay. Things to fold is better not in a bag or bag, but in a backpack to free your hands.

We collect medical kit

Rules for safe behavior in the hike say that every tourist should have a first aid kit. This, of course, ideally. In the campaign, anything can happen, and it is better to be prepared for everything. If you are going to travel by a group, you can agree that one or several people will take medicines.

So, that's what should be in the ambulance kit:

• Sticking plasters;
• Bandages (including elastic);
• Cotton wool;
• Harnesses;
• Green, iodine, hydrogen peroxide;
• ammonia;
• Activated carbon;
• Pain killers and antipyretics;
• Medicines for colds;
• Preparations for allergies;
• Sunscreen and insect repellent (for hiking in the warm season);
• Individual medicines (medicines for pressure, inhalers for asthma and so on).

We find out the prohibitions for the district

Before going on an active holiday, it would be nice to find out the rules of conduct during the hikes for a specific locality. This is especially true of the areas where you are traveling for the first time. If you are too lazy, a pleasant pastime can be overshadowed by the imposition of a fine or even arrest.

It is possible that at a designated place of rest it is forbidden to build a fire, hunt, fish, or collect mushrooms. All these nuances should be specified in specialized organizations.

Do not depart from the planned route

Before you go on a trip, be sure to let people know where you will rest. They need to know where to look for you, if something suddenly happens. For this reason, do not change the route or report a new location on the mobile phone.

Move along the paths. So there are less chances to get lost, disturb wild animals and break down plants. If tourists observe the rules of conduct in the hike, they care about preserving the flora and fauna.

We comply with the tourist system

Wherever you go, it's safer to move around with an organized column. So you will spend less energy and save time, even after going a long distance.

How to walk properly? You need to gather in a column one at a distance from each other and move at the same pace. You can not go out of the way, and even more so ahead of the going.

Rules of conduct (excursions, hikes) in different types of terrain

When moving through the forest, you need to look under your feet, so as not to stumble over the roots of trees. Passing through bushes, it is important to transfer the branches from hand to hand. Many just release knots, and behind the going person has to dodge so as not to remain without an eye. This behavior is unacceptable when you go to a group. In the dense undergrowth, it is impossible to hold all the branches. Therefore, the participants of the hike need to increase the distance to four meters, so as not to injure each other.

If a thunderstorm caught in the forest, in any case, do not stand under tall trees (especially under stand-alone ones). Take cover on a small plot or sit in a hole. Also, in rainy weather, you should not step on the roots of trees and stones, as they become very slippery.

In the rocky terrain, their own rules of behavior of tourists in the campaign. Such areas are dangerous because they are constantly prone to falling and rolling boulders. Therefore, travelers should carefully look at the trails and slopes, and also remember that any stone can move. If you notice such a boulder, then inform about it to the chain members of the group.

Meeting with animals

If you see large wild animals (wolf, fox, bear, roe deer, etc.), then do not approach them. Reducing the distance is usually perceived as a sign of aggression, which means that the beast will begin to defend and attack. It will be correct to leave in the opposite direction, but not in running, but in quiet steps.

During the trip, you can meet with snakes, some of which may be poisonous. What rules of behavior in the tourist campaign should be observed in such situations? Never touch a snake, and it will creep past. Just freeze and do not make sudden movements.

Really dangerous is the snake that you did not notice. Look under your feet and where you are going to sit down. If it's a fallen tree or a stump, first tap on it. Try to avoid the places loved by snakes: abandoned buildings, dead woods, marshes, ledges on rocks. If you bite, immediately contact the hospital.

Insects can also be dangerous

The most common vectors of infectious diseases in the march are ticks. It is very important to remove them from the body in a timely manner. Therefore, from time to time, examine each other. Do not forget about the right clothes, as well as about ointments and sprays for ticks.

Also in nature can bring trouble spiders, wasps, bees and hornets. If you have an allergic reaction to them, or if you have been bitten more than three times, immediately go to the hospital. To avoid such an outcome, observe the basic rules of conduct in the campaign: dress properly, do not machine with your hands near stinging insects and do not disturb their hives.

Protect the environment

Usually, when tourists set up tents, first they level the surface and cut the needles for lining to keep the heat and make the floor "soft." But at this rate in the forests there will be only bald trees. Use already fallen branches or get specialized walking mats.

Save the trees, do not drive nails into them to hang something. The rope can always be tied and untied. For firewood, use only dead trees. They can be easily identified by the absence of green leaves. Moreover, living trees are notoriously bad.

Try not to use household chemicals for washing dishes. For this purpose natural resources are perfect: sand and ash. If you really can not do without the usual chemistry, use it as far as possible from the reservoirs and sources of drinking water.

Campfires in the campaign

Do not plant fire under the trees. It's enough to pick up one branch, and a mountain fire will start , which you can not extinguish. If there are old fireplaces, use them, and do not produce new ones.

If you take the kids with you, give them a briefing and tell them about the rules of conduct in the campaign. For children, a fire is something attracting. They often climb into it, not knowing that they can get hurt.

When you get home, check out the fireplace. Do not throw or trample the coals, just fill them with water.

Take out the trash

To be able to relax in nature, it should be taken care of. The simplest thing is not to leave garbage after yourself. Therefore, we take a large package with us, collect all the waste into it and take it to the nearest garbage dump. Of course, some of the garbage can be burned, but do not try to do it with plastic. Be a culture and take with you the waste that neglected tourists left.

The remains of food can be left under a tree, and pour the croup into the water. Grateful birds and animals will always find them and eat them when you leave.

Take care of other travelers

There are unspoken rules of conduct in the campaign, which are observed by conscious people. Clean the ponds, rivers, glades and other places that meet on the way from glass and other debris. If possible, repair damaged objects: benches, stairs, washbasins.

If you notice a damaged index, write down their exact location and inform the appropriate authorities: local authorities, control organizations, forestry service, etc.

Children can go on a hike not only with their parents. Preschool camps and country resorts also offer children to go on excursions or go to the forest for the night. And here everyone has to obey his leader and fulfill his demands.

Rules of conduct in the hike for schoolchildren

Of course, each organized group will have its own orders, but there is a basic list of rules that should be followed by children in any situation:

• Not go anywhere without the knowledge of the leader;
• To inform the eldest about the perceived danger;
• There are no unfamiliar berries, mushrooms and plants;
• Do not drink water from rivers, lakes and wells;
• Do not enter the water without the permission of the elder;
• Do not light a fire on your own;
• Inform the supervisor of an ailment.

To not overshadow the rest on the nature, take care of your safety. Knowledge of elementary rules will help to maintain health, and sometimes life.
