The basics of adventures

Because the adventure of rafting and general tourist attractions in the area of drifting are very different, so to speak floating in matters have from two aspects:

First of all to talk about the common inside the drifting of the spots should note, comparatively see more Nepal now drifting main rubber raft rafting, Dumu boat drifting.

Used as a floating tool, it is necessary to pay attention to things of course is not the same. But one thing is the same, the so-called rafting, apparently from the water. As always, you can take your wallet, smaller card machine, with the vessel's seal was not drifting barrels placed like "giant SLR." Life jackets and helmets, not very clean, but at least better than most of the attractions that looks professional, sweat smell seems to be not so heavy.

For considerations of rafting adventure that can much, see you and you go to the great surprise of drifting Forum day of God, even the legendary special forces of the survival guide.

It is said that not only if you're an excellent pilot, can have signalled in whitewater, also in shuttle free learn how to survive in the wild, how to choose the camping ground, how to find food, etc. Also good ordinary as we, as long as ordinary adventure, excitement is enough, therefore choose a professional rafting company, at the helm, camping, or even give them to all relief. To go to my experience, experience the "roll up thousands of snow mountain shore", timely appropriate dreadfulness of the inside is the keyword.

Drifting skills

Rafting is the flower of the universe, rafting, rafting is subtle meaning of extreme sports.

In your excitement, enjoyment, it is necessary to pay attention to security, and have some skills. Such as the "second, do not" boss say I say a heart to heart, to team work; do not let go, and oar killed strongly not falling into water. In General, a rubber raft, Dumu boats are very broad scope, more universal, common; small vessel applies to River less than straight, Rocky River Bend;-mattress is suitable for the calm of the River.

A rubber raft adaptable, even when encountering divide a large waterfall or steep valley, also almost always survived.

Because the rubber material flexibility can be good, and there were filled balloon can, generally rocks but not. Rafting, coach's main task is to grasp the direction and balance, the encounter of rapids and rocks are addressed properly. A rubber raft on General with a few slices of pulp for tourists, in gentle river plate, the visitors can coaching have a better chance to paddle paddling.

Official experience

Reach the Rapids, to predict the approximate direction to look down the River, then greeted everyone oar.

Keep your feet inboard of the guest, resumed their hands firmly grasp the boat along the rope on the body lying low, do not stand up, keeping the boat body weight remained stable, generally it unscathed.

Water flow is relatively dark, often a vortex, this time to avoid being involved in, bypass.

If caught, to remain calm, let the boat along the reflux spinning, et go to Vortex perimeter, you can flush out all paddle.

Remained stable, avoid a collision is drifting process shall adhere to the principle.

There is no collision avoidance, to control the boat was hit in the face to greet the angle (side crash prone to upset), who hold the rope. After the boat was a collision with a parallel, at this point the shore side of the occupant should pay attention to your feet to avoid injury. Sometimes the boats and boats will be among the very last, to avoid a collision, the two sides have to cooperate, to the opposite direction to paddle or branch on the ship.

Stone-intensive, narrow waterways, depth lighter, water becomes anxious, it is easy to run aground.

You don't have to panic, available paddle against stones, hard to leave the boat being stranded. If this trick doesn't work, we are launching, flanking or La or declining to boat body weight in water, while the boats were to eyed, pay attention to safety.

Million carelessly in the water, do not panic, buoyancy lifejackets sufficient to people Toth floating on the water, the boat on the companion should reach out to climb into the propeller let.

If it fell into the water, far from the River, to disembark or stuck in the stone on the back surface of the water (towards the water flow is strong and easy to be propelled into) wait for rescue.

Upset occurred in the region and flowed, often because someone into the Centre of gravity caused the inflatable boat.

After the boat should keep calm, as the boat. Back to the attention of both sides of the lifeboat force-balancing side who climbed the boat is another side to it was down. Fall of the paddle to pick back in time, to ease the flow area will only hand in the water.

Some people experienced in drift Chamber rupture, this is the worst case.

At this point to adjust the position of the boat crew, rupture of the air ChamberLocation not to sit. Try to keep the boats stability and pull in to wait for rescue.

Personal experience

In General, drifting along the river and the River, the surface of the open, slow to be leisurely, Fergie, oar, looked around the attractions; experience of Rapids, requires a concerted effort, using various techniques to share the same boat.

4-level above torrent, starter cannot control. Imagine being torrent to the air, even the bread not to touch the water surface, roaring, scream is subtle meaning resides. Beginner's essence, lies in the mood to relax the burden of 100% is lost to the coach.

Typically, each will have a coach on the inflatable boat, as well as 2-3 x Dumu boat coach stays in rubber dinghies on both sides, at any time to rescue downed tourists.

Bread is always the most important props, whenever you can't let go. First, in the normal navigation, it is your motivation; Secondly, fell into the water, bread can hook the ship to keep you out of danger; again, unfortunately it fell into the water, hand paddles can facilitate coach rescue; and finally, I think that floating in the water, hand holding something better than empty.

The use of life-saving ropes.

There is usually a rope 20-30 metres long, and when you drift away from the boat very far when the coach will rope threw to or from the lifeboat of the coach brings to fell into the water. At this time, you simply place the rope back shoulders, then you can comfortable lying River sky and white clouds. Just like sleeping, this is the coach said. However, you can put the rope around his neck to see light in life as in the past smoke.
