Falling from the Cliff

To start with, many people often just don't take the time to learn the things that they can use to have a safe trip in the wild. So, instead of learning things to help them they depend on technology to keep the safe. In the public letter “Survival is Your Own Responsibility’ written by Daryl R. Miller, he states, “Taking communication on a trip is being responsible but basing how much risk you take because of that communication is negligent at best.” Its negligent to the fact that you can't base your whole survival on the luck that you

Many people have had a an issue of safety on rescue services. Some say they are risking their lives while others say that they are not. There have been many articles on the subject about rescuers that died and climbers that had a false sense of hope. Some articles say that the climbers are safe and that there is nothing dangerous about mountain climbing. But what is right is that people do have the right to rescue services when they put themselves at risk because all humans have a right to rescue services.

Do people have the right to rescue services when they put themselves at risk? Mountain climbing is an activity of climbing mountains. For helicopter services, each cost about $2 million apiece and the helicopter could only take one climber. The air is very thin on the higher level of the mountain, climbers may have faced bad weather. Members of climber are increasing in the climbing season, many of them are in the death zone that there are traffic jams. People do not have the right to rescue services when they put themselves in a risky because people may die, and bad environment.

On April 29, 1903 30 million cubic meters of rock fell from the east face of Turtle Mountain in southwestern Alberta, Canada. Over 70 people in the town of Frank were killed as well as the entrance to the Frank mine being blocked with miners inside. This landslide is one of the largest slides that has eyewitnesses as well as a strong scientific study. (Alberta Geological Survey, 2013)

Navigational techniques such as hand railing, pacing and aiming of are designed for hiking activity mainly to assist and aid navigation. The advantage of using them is that it can make hiking easier and more comfortable to navigate, but it cannot be a replacement for navigational skills. To learn these techniques a simple practise can be done and its effectiveness observed by experienced hiker.

Life of the road isn't meant for everyone. Of course everyone has a different mindset towards this topic but you will have to be in the correct mindset of this situation for this to fall on you. Weather people want to live life on the road or not it isn't suited for everyone. It maybe the sense that some people have a physical condition that will hold them back from going onto the road and doing this maybe the case. In many people's cases that they may love going out into the wilderness and exploring some may not be equipped with these sort of skills and may forgot to be prepared in a sense like Chris McCandless. In Chris’s case he just wanted to get out and explore, such like Jon Krakauer. Jon Krakauer talked about how toxic society was and how he just wanted to escape that. People often go out to explore the wild since they're already on the road but is Mr.McCandless point of view he just wanted to escape society and start fresh. People that don't admire the wild like chris does may change the view of life on the road.

Another source gave the meaning to hiking as “In its most basic definition, Hiking is simply Walking for recreational purposes. A good summary is: “In Hiking, the Journey is more important that the Destination. The Encyclopedia Britannica from Encyclopedia Britannica Premium Service: Walking as a recreational activity and sport. Among those with sedentary occupations, hiking is a natural exercise that promotes physical fitness, is economical and convenient, and requires no special equipment. Because the hiker can walk as far as he wants, there is not physical strain unless he walks among hills or mountains. I am sure we could find many definition for the word hiking, but despite the many variations derives from this word “hiking” they all have to do with some form of walking. Hiking is one of the most sought out hobbies in what world today and is used in academic and professional sports organizations around the world. Our US military and police forces use this hobby as a part of their routine training for fitness and training purposes.

To start off, people who put themselves at risk also put others at risk, namely rescue services. In the radio interview, Nick Heil described a gruesome incident that occurred when rescuers attempted to save two climbers. He stated,”They crashed attempting to rescue the second man.” (Heil, lines 29-30) This quote describes that people taking risks endanger themselves as well as other people around them. This supports the claim that endangering yourself also endangers others because it describes the effects of what can potentially happen if something goes wrong. The Seattle Times news article states a ranger died while attempting to save climbers after getting stuck in a crevasse (Seattle Times, lines 1-3) This quote explains what happened when a climbing ranger was killed whilst trying to save climbers who took a risk and decided to go mountain climbing. It puts my claim that taking risks puts you and others in danger by putting into a real-life situation. Those who are pro-rescue services may claim that people in the rescue service industry sign up for potentially fatal risks.This may be true, but these fatal outcomes are the result of those who choose to take risks, therefore being the cause of rescuers’ imminent death.

In wilderness training, one of the first things that we are taught is to always keep an eye on our hiking partner, to know where they are and their condition. If they trip off the trail and fall into a gully, we would immediately stop and rescue our partner or find someone who could.

In order to avoid bad roads as much as possible, drivers must plan his or her route and

We see off road vehicles all over the place, but the one are that is impacted the most, is the desert. With places like Glamis, Ocotillo Wells, Dumont Dunes and Johnson Valley, we see some major destruction to the desert. Even though off road vehicles are permitted in these areas, many people still take their vehicles off designated trails and roadways. “Off-road vehicles, when used irresponsibly, can cause irreparable damage to desert habitats,” (national geographic). Many may still believe that off

There’s nothing quite like the feeling of kicking off your shoes after a long day of work. Multiply that feeling by a million after you’ve gone hiking. I normally have my Chacos waiting for me in the car, but some normal flip-flops or sneakers should do.

In the novel Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer, readers are introduced to the 1996 expeditions to Mount Everest, in which men and women from all walks of life and with different motivations seek to climb the world’s highest mountain. However, all of these climbers share the learning experience from their struggles in this expedition that taught them what it is to be human. Before climbing Everest, many of the expedition members thought it would be an easy climb and that humans are invincible, and in years past, mountaineers like Eric Shipton and George Mallory asserted this notion, but the climbers on the 1996 Everest expedition were proven wrong. When talking about one Sherpa who was hit in the back of his head with a rock, Beidleman and Schoening,

Sometimes trails will be so long that hikers will have to camp out for a day or two just too even get through half of it but once they set out on the trip the only thing that could possibly stop them is animals, weather and no more food. In Yosemite national park hikers will go about 5 miles or at the most 9 and then turn back but the more experienced hikers will just camp out and continue early in the morning. Fishermen like to travel around lakes to scout probable spots to fish and some likes can go as far as 10 miles like the great lakes they go from anywhere near 50 to almost if not a hundred miles. Traveling around a lake is hard but they only need to select a few areas and their

Imagine you are one of the highest mountains in the world. You don’t care about the risks because there are rescue services to help you. But what if one day they all decide to quit or they don’t come to you in time? There are amazing climbers who are still willing to make the climb but when they make a mistake there won’t be someone behind you to bring you back up when you fall.There are people in this world who are willing to take risks and reach their own Mount Everest but sometimes the price can be too high to bear. For example, having the person who rescued you died trying. That person is part of the rescue services. When climbers are putting their own life on the line, they shouldn’t be demanding the rescue services to save them when they are putting themselves at risk.
