As an off-road enthusiast (rookie level), I prefer crossing (mainly divided into desert crossing, jungle crossing, and uninhabited land crossing) compared to venues. There are too many uncontrollable factors in crossing, too many unknowns, stop and go , is more exciting, more careful, can better reflect the spirit of teamwork, and can better appreciate different scenery. Every time you travel, there are different surprises. As the saying goes: Infinite scenery lies on dangerous peaks.
What I have experienced so far is mountain jungle crossing. Jungle crossing is a healthy and fashionable outdoor training exercise that is close to nature. What it challenges is not only people’s physical fitness and courage, but also a bold attempt to break through the psychological limit. . So, I will share with you the jungle crossing.
Necessary basic tools: compass, escape board, winch, monkey climbing pole, tree hugging belt, tow rope, pulley, U-hook, spare tire, quick tire repair tool, jack, air pump, flashlight, some water and food , emergency medicine, etc. I will not list them one by one.
Grasp the map by hand (it is convenient for follow-up or rescuers to find the trace, and another advantage is that you can use pictures, text, and language to manage), Ovi map or pedestrian riding map, it is best to download some offline maps.
Precautions — The road is smooth and the road conditions are unknown. When it is difficult, set the lower gear to the first gear or descend slowly on a steep slope. This way the speed is slower, does not require braking and clutching, and is easy to control. Keep getting out of the car and using your feet to test Go forward slowly, and pay attention to whether the foundation of the roadside is solid when the road is narrow…
The following four points are a summary of the experience of netizens, which I think can be shared:
1. Choose the right way to go. I usually use pedestrian riding or Ovi map to choose in advance, and it is better to have a local guide. There is no rule in the jungle which road can be taken and which road cannot be taken. A real master achieves the ultimate goal at the least cost.
Second, we must respect the local residents. People in remote areas are generally very simple and friendly. Treat them as friends and try to be friendly when dealing with them, so that they will treat you kindly.
3. When entering the jungle, the principle of ecological off-roading should be followed. Do not press down on lawns and trees on purpose. When using a winch for self-rescue, you should use a nylon tree hugging belt to protect the tree as a fixed point, instead of directly wrapping the winch around the tree, so as not to cause damage to the tree. Don’t litter, especially plastic bags, or you will see them after decades of coming here; another very important point is to pay special attention to safety when using fire, as forest areas are prone to fires.
4. Some other places that need special attention. If you have to drive through a bush or something, be careful not to puncture your tires with some chopped tree stumps. If you are crossing in autumn, try not to let the vehicle pass through the withered grass, let alone park the vehicle on the withered grass, because this may ignite the grass and cause danger. When walking in the river, you should pay attention to the change of the color of the water surface. If the color becomes darker, it means that the depth of the water has changed. You should stop immediately to explore the road before you go. Don’t think that you are very familiar with the situation of the river, because after a flood Things will change. In addition, many unscrupulous people are digging sand in the river randomly and causing many pits, which will turn our off-road vehicles into submarines if we are not careful. There are a lot of snakes in the jungle area, generally do not harm them, and they will not take the initiative to attack you, so pay attention to the surrounding environment when getting off the car, and try not to invade their territory.
Inappropriate, discuss together.
