By Jennifer Thomas


At first, people think that mountains are friendly, harmless and wonderful natural resources. While there is some truth in it, accidents may still happen out of nowhere. When people got themselves into trouble, they are risking their lives. When people are in complete danger, rescue missions are established to obviously ensure the safety of everyone. Sometimes, such mission can be dangerous too.

Adventurers love excitement and a panoramic scenery but when worse comes to worst, their lives would be put to danger. Thus, a mountain search and rescue is definitely needed. Rescuers on the other hand, need to be at least experts in this field. In order to go home without any injuries and deadly complications, bear in mind these important reminders and advice.

Make a self assessment and make it as accurate as possible. Its important to assess yourself and determine the condition of your body. Conduct an honest evaluation of yourself and other members too. Identify the degree of the task and how it might change everything. Training your physical body is more effective before the rescue starts. Be definite that no one is experiencing from any problems.

More importantly, dont let anyone to get separated from the groups. Create a comprehensive plan and be completely prepared for anything otherwise, you would be experiencing regrets in the long run.

Bring proper provisions in case the hike might take a long time. Eat adequate food and fluids to replenish your fluids. Prepare foods that can suit the appetite of people. Dont bring alcohols and other medicinal drugs, except for medications purposes. When you seem unwell and unhealthy, dont try to get yourself involve and join any missions otherwise you would only keep on making mistakes.

Be knowledgeable with the weather. Normally, people make mistakes, especially in weather matters. The current climate might be good. As time passes by, it may eventually grow bad and dark. Once you are completely prepared, nothing bad will ever happens someday.

Finally, be calm and stay on guard. Regardless of whatever happens, be calm. Dont get easily so distracted or get panic. Even if you are prepared enough, calmness will make you overcome any situation. Be in control and keep calm and surely nothing bad will happen.
