By Jennifer Thomas


Mountains may seem harmless but actually it can bring danger due to diverse reasons. Attentiveness and awareness are not only the important things that matters. At some point, there is still risk for danger to take place no matter how careful a person is. Consequently, a rescue mission is conducted to save people from the brink of death. However, even such mission can pose a serious problem 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.

Accurate self assessment. You basically have a knowledge on what is currently happening inside and outside your body. Honestly examine your abilities and as well your companions too. Determine the difficulty of the entire job and how it could affect the task. Train, not only during and after a mission but before it starts. Be sure that no one is suffering from physical problems.

Prepare yourself before everything starts. This means bringing guidelines and maps. Be certain that all of them have current information. Guidebooks and weather channels are pretty useful, especially to unfamiliar areas. As much as possible, its definitely important to put all current info in your notes to have an updated track of everything and that things are managed effectively.

Proper materials and gears. To surely avoid spending too much time on doing other things, assemble your materials and tools beforehand. Prepare contact devices and emergency supplies too. Before gathering everything, create a detailed list of equipment. Dont forget to gather enough foods and water. These would help you revitalize from the start until the end.

Brace yourself for every challenge you will have to face. If you seem incompletely prepared for the challenge, let more capable individuals do the task. Never let the group separate or leave. Should you seem to be the leader, everyone life is your responsibility. Before the rescue initiates, make sure that everyone has complete preparedness. Plans must likewise be made too.

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.

Monitor the weather. One of the biggest nightmare of most rescuers is when they overlooked the weather. We all know that a climate varies from time to time. By now, it could be sunny. Later, it might be rainy and windy. Be knowledgeable and surely things will end well as exactly as you had planned it.

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.
