Guilin 17 gale and hail, how to deal with natural disasters when traveling?

Outdoor sports, whether mountaineering, hiking or other activities, are a process of relaxing and enjoying the beautiful scenery of nature. But outdoor sports are not only a challenge to oneself, but also a challenge to nature. While enjoying the fun of outdoor sports, nature will change its face at any time. Among all kinds of emergencies that we have to learn to deal with, the most serious may be natural disasters. Only by mastering enough common sense and ability can we better protect ourselves outdoors and protect ourselves from natural harm. Let's talk about several natural disasters that may be encountered in outdoor sports and their countermeasures.

Landslides and debris flows

Landslides and mudslides are the most dangerous and likely natural disasters on the way to mountain climbing. Landslides and debris flows are usually washed away by continuous rainstorm or rainstorm, which leads to the loosening of mountain soil layer and the fragile joint structure of the mountain itself, thus causing large-scale landslides. Debris flow is very harmful, and the rapid debris flow is enough to devour everything, trees, animals and even houses along the way. So how can we escape when the mudslide strikes? If you are in a valley or mountainside, when the debris flow comes from above, immediately run to the heights on both sides of the hillside perpendicular to the debris flow. Remember to run high and never run low. The faster you run, the better. If something falls, don't pick it up. Life is important. If you don't have time to run, find a hard stone and squat down.

mountain torrents

To learn to judge the coming of mountain torrents, if there are a lot of boundless dark clouds on the way to mountain climbing, it is a sign of heavy rain and will inevitably lead to mountain torrents. Therefore, if you judge that a rainstorm is coming, you should go down the mountain as soon as possible. If you move fast enough, you may be able to get down the mountain before the rainstorm.

If you encounter a rainstorm halfway up the mountain, your safety rope will come in handy. Find a stout tree and tie a safety rope. After fastening the safety rope, grab the rope and move down the hill quickly. If you have enough time and preparation, it will be safer and more convenient to use it with the safety lock.

If there is no safety rope, look for a place with dense trees. Generally, there are dense pine trees on the hillside. At this time, you have to find a way to walk through the trees and grab the trunk of another tree from one tree until you go down the mountain.

Leaving the riverbed and low-lying land, as the saying goes, water flows downwards, and the riverbed and low-lying land between mountains are places where floods gather and are easily hit and submerged by floods. Rivers and lakes are also dangerous places during floods. Don't stay or camp in these places. Don't stay at the foot of the mountain or in the valley. Foothills and valleys are easily affected by flood gathering, easily damaged by loose and rolling stones washed by rain, and easily buried by mudslides and landslides. Therefore, when encountering heavy rain in mountainous areas, you must not stay in foothills and valleys for a long time, and flee quickly after going down the mountain.
