Insightful Strategies for a Thrilling Mountain Expedition
Embarking on a tramping adventure can be an exhilarating experience, but it's crucial to be well-prepared for the journey ahead. Here are some tips to help you make the most of your tramping experience.
Firstly, it's essential to refine your tramping first watch kit to include items for common tramping injuries. The kit should be divided among group members strategically, with the person who has first watch experience carrying it. Attending an Outdoor or Wilderness First Watch course can be beneficial for learning how to improvise with gear in an emergency.
Before setting off, it's advisable to estimate your day's trip progress, breaking it into segments. This will help you plan your journey effectively and adjust your schedule as needed. Remember, steep or challenging terrain can slow down your walking speed, so allow extra time for such areas.
Starting early in the day is beneficial, especially during autumn and winter. This allows for extra time and accommodates for emergencies or unexpected delays. Our app, "Plan My Walk", can be a useful tool for trip planning.
When packing your backpack, group items such as the first watch kit, emergency communications, maps, compass, and other essentials should be packed at the top of each pack. Everyone should also have a sunhat, water, and warm and waterproof layers at the top of their packs.
During the day, the map should be checked regularly to monitor progress and adjust time estimations. If progress is significantly slower than planned, consider altering your plan (Plan B). An experienced navigator should carry the map, but the role can change during the day.
Wide, easy tramping tracks can allow for speeds between 3km and 4km per hour. However, on rough tramping tracks, a typical walking speed is around 2km per hour.
Remember to factor in extra time for unexpected events or delays. Our website, e-learning tool, Bushcraft Manual, and Get Outdoors Series offer resources for tramping skills and navigation.
Lastly, remember to enjoy the journey! Tramping is a unique opportunity to connect with nature and create lasting memories. Safe travels!
