Children’s safety on a hiking trip

The basic rule for a safe trip with children – the hiking experience of adult participants must be more than what is usually required for this route as part of an adult group!

Parents who go hiking with their children must have experience of hiking on their own without children. It is assumed that readers already know how to properly overcome a grassy slope, how to dump the dry land so that it does not fall on the camp, in what sequence it is necessary to get into a kayak and much more. After all, adults have a double responsibility – for themselves and, first of all, for the children they took with them on a hike. Therefore, if your own hiking experience is very poor, it is better not to organize a trip with a child on your own, but to join an experienced, well-liked group with children. Moreover, you should not lead a group of children on a hike.

The main source of danger in children’s trips is the children themselves, not the conditions of the trip . During the movement along the route, when the children are busy and the adults are vigilant, usually there are no emergencies. Experience shows that the main number of accidents occur during day breaks, snacks, smoke breaks, etc. In a word, when children have nothing to do, and their natural desire to know the world around them can turn into trouble. If there is a person on the trip (sufficiently responsible) who takes the initiative and acts as an organizer of all sorts of games, outings in the neighborhood and other entertainment for children, this will greatly (but not completely) facilitate childcare. In fact, such people are rare, so even at the stage of preparation for the trip, you should think about what games and entertainment can be organized for children during halts and days. More often you need to involve them in helping to set up a camp, collect brushwood for a fire, organize fishing, picking berries, mushrooms and other useful things.

What you should pay special attention to when hiking with children.

Equipment. Clothing must be appropriate for the weather – be careful as children are more sensitive to heat disturbance and unexpected heatstroke (or hypothermia) will not add to good hiking memories. Try to buy (sew) children’s hiking clothes in bright colors (yellow, orange, red) – in an emergency, this will make it easier for the child to search, make him visible on land and on water. Shoes should be on a hard sole with an anti-slip tread (of course, already a little worn). Almost nowhere can one completely exclude the presence of snakes, so open shoes – unacceptable!

Hiking, even if it’s hot, it’s better to dress children in trousers and long-sleeved clothes, otherwise broken knees and scratched hands are inevitable and can disrupt the hiking schedule. The schedule of movement, by the way, should be drawn up taking into account the capabilities of the weakest participant in your trip (it can be like the youngest child walking on his own, or a parent carrying a child plus some things and products). At parking lots, saws, axes and knives are best stored in cases and out of sight. There was a case when three children of 3-5 years old, holding together, took out an ax driven into a stump almost up to the handle! Hence the moral – keep an eye on these items. Even at the beginning of the trip, you need to explain to the kids that they should never be touched. Keep small children in the camp and teenagers involved in the process right next to you when gathering firewood to ensure that no one is injured by a falling tree. In the process of chopping wood, care must also be taken for the same reason.

Assemble your personal first aid kit with a personal touch. Do not put everything in your personal first aid kit, because the universal kit will be in the general first aid kit, which is taken one per group. Take medicines only with the expectation of your (and your child’s) individual characteristics, chronic diseases. Also, take insect repellant and to reduce itching from bites; for the prevention of sunburn and for their treatment; means for the treatment of cuts and bruises; think about what you will do with corns and how to avoid them; than, if necessary, you will pull out splinters, ticks, treat bites.

Fire and everything connected with it. It is hardly worth mentioning that from the moment when the fire is already burning, the little ones must not be left out of sight. Even at the beginning of the trip, you should decide what is allowed for children in relation to the fire, and what is prohibited. All prohibitions must be reasoned. Help kindle a fire – you can and should. It is possible to put brushwood in a fire, take out branches from a fire and wave a lit tip – it is impossible not to accidentally hit a friend in the face. It is impossible to throw spruce branches and the like, which gives a lot of sparks, into a blazing fire, because. flying sparks can set fire to a dry forest (meadow), get into the face of others or burn their clothes. To avoid burns, do not allow younger children to remove the cans from the fire on their own, pour hot tea for themselves. Older children can be allowed to do this with the use of fire mittens and under the supervision of adults. Each time check the reliability of the handles of the kan and the hooks of the fire rope, the stability of the taganka.

It is better to invite children to the table when the soup (porridge) in bowls has cooled down enough. If the child is used to eating hot soup, put a piece of foam (seated seat) on his knees, and a bowl on the foam so that, having made an awkward movement, the child does not spill hot on his knees. In this regard, bowls with a large flat bottom are better – they are more stable, but, however, they fit worse into one another. If we talk about the material, then metal dishes have an advantage over plastic ones: firstly, soup cools faster in metal dishes, and secondly, the temperature of the bowl gives an idea of ​​the temperature of the contents.

Scree, slopes. Recall that the absence of stone scree is one of the necessary conditions when choosing a parking lot. It is assumed that the scree will lie in wait for you while moving along the route and radial sorties. Before overcoming them, do not be too lazy to once again tell and show the children how to walk in a chain so as not to lower stones at each other. Movement on slopes (especially on descents) requires certain practical skills, one theoretical digression will be clearly insufficient. Children need time to learn how to move properly, so be prepared for this. Before starting the descent (ascent), equip each child with an alpenstock stick. Give yourself more time to climb the slope. Where, in principle, it is possible to ascend (descend) in a straight line, still encourage traverse movement. Constantly remind that on a steep slope you need to be facing it, on a medium steep slope – sideways.

Parking lots on the banks of a river/body of water. Water attracts children of all ages: one endless throwing of stones and sticks into the water is worth something. Fighting it is useless, and it is not necessary. Therefore, in such a parking lot, it is necessary to constantly keep all children in sight, even relative to adults. There are cases when, during hikes, children slipped into the water from inclined stone slabs located near the water itself (from which it is so convenient to look at the river, fish, etc.). The same danger is posed simply by large stones and rock fragments located above the water – from them the child can fall into the water, simply by stumbling (for example, throwing another stone into the water). Throwing stones into the water is dangerous because instead of water, a stone can hit a friend who, at the moment of the throw, abruptly stood up or moved. It is necessary to remind children more often of such a danger, and adults to ensure that children do not look for stones “in the line of fire.”

Inedible berries and mushrooms. All children have an enviable appetite during the hike. But, unfortunately, young children do not have sufficient skills to distinguish berries well. Therefore, at the very beginning of the trip with the children, it is worth holding an appropriate conversation. But still, in the forest, kids should not be left out of sight. It is often enough for schoolchildren to clearly show what a pale grebe, wolf’s eye, elderberry, etc. look like. In any case, this will be useful. The presence in the general first-aid kit of sorbents (activated carbon, smecta) is strictly necessary, the amount necessary to treat one person during the entire trip. By the way, in one of the trips, a two-year-old child ate a raw leg from a large boletus (the mushrooms were laid out on polyethylene before being cleaned). Turns out he mistook her for a banana. At the same time, he was not even embarrassed that the “banana” had a strange taste.

Water trips. Probably, this is the most popular type of hiking trips that take their children with them, since adults experience less physical stress during such trips and can afford to take more things and products with them (the main thing is to deliver all this to the river). While the children are passive participants in the hike, wherever there is even a small chance of overkill, the children must be led along the shore . Even if you have taught your child to stay on the water, you must remember that in the event of an accident, he may simply not have enough physical strength to cope with the current. If you think that you do not need to wear a life jacket (but it’s better to wear it anyway, to set an example), children should always be in a life jacket, including (this is important!) And on viewing obstacles and run-outs when you are busy technical problems, and sometimes children are left unattended. The volume (in liters) of the vest must be at least 20-25% of the mass (in kg) of a person.

Often children’s lifejackets that are sold in stores need to be modified by yourself in order for them to fully perform their functions. First of all, you need to check if the lifejacket has a groin loop (the tape that connects the front and back of the lifejacket). If not, then it must be sewn on. In the event of a ship capsizing, a life jacket without a groin loop may be separated from the child (God forbid, but this is possible).

Do not use PVC life jackets for water recreation as life jackets – do not be lazy and buy your child a life jacket for hiking in a travel store, or make your own. In the latter case, the inflatable containers of the lifejacket must be protected with a fabric cover and a groin sling must be sewn on. It is highly desirable that the rafting clothing also be of bright colors. On the rivers recommended for trips with children, emergencies are unlikely, but still possible, and it is better that they end happily. Adrenaline is better to get in another place and in another company.

Cycling trips. A bicycle helmet is a must for this kind of hiking. Parents planning their first bike trip with their children are strongly recommended to brush up on the relevant section of traffic rules. Traffic along more or less busy highways should only take place on the roadside on the right side of the road (if the traffic is right-handed)! Since the roadsides can be difficult to drive (sandy, etc.), and the temptation to move along the edge of the asphalt is great, for children’s bike trips we choose routes with a minimum of roads. This, of course, will greatly affect the mileage of the children’s trip (in the direction of decrease). To move along highways, it is necessary to establish the order in the chain, and explain to the children that it is necessary to follow the established order, overtaking is unacceptable. The sequence and interval is chosen in such a way as to control all independently moving children.

It is up to adults to keep this rule on unpaved, forest roads.

Before a trip, the bike should be checked for

• that the main parts are secure;
• tire pressure matching;
• state of brake pads and brake operation;
• operation of the gear shift system;
• chain tension.

In addition to the above, the bicycle sprocket must be protected, because there is a high chance of injuring your leg while dragging the bike over a log or other obstacle – on rough terrain it is not always possible to drag the bike while holding it to your right. This is especially true for “adult” bikes, because. they are most often sold without protection. In addition, traffic rules are required to have lights or reflectors on the bike: in front – white, in the back – red, and also yellow or orange – on the sides. Children who ride bicycles on their own need to be reminded from time to time of the dangers of using the front brake. In general, teach children not to brake with four, but only with two or even one finger – otherwise the hand may not hold the steering wheel. Be sure to draw the attention of children to how dangerous it is to drive at speed through deep puddles, because. broken glass, a sharp piece of iron, a pit or a drain without a grate can easily be under water. Oil puddles should also be avoided – oil destroys the rubber of tires, and it is easy to slip. You can fall and slip on the wide lines of road markings in the rain, on sandy areas. Clothing for cycling must also meet a number of requirements. It should not restrict visibility, hinder movement, be too warm, blown by the wind; should be bright and visible to car drivers. Wearing cycling gloves will save your hands from blisters and cold headwinds. The number of accessories (bells, bike computers, etc.) on the handlebars of a children’s bicycle should be limited to a minimum so that the child is less distracted by them while driving. If a child travels in a bicycle seat, we recommend dressing him much warmer than usual – during intensive movement, the bicycle seat is strongly blown by the wind, and the child can easily become overcooled. For these reasons, even on a summer bike trip, we recommend taking a cap for a child that can be worn under a bike helmet, as well as gloves. A special raincoat from the oncoming rain, which can be thrown over a child in a bicycle seat, will also be useful.

Basic safety rules or what to pack

1. Travel with a friend. Being alone is a big risk! 2. Don’t forget to take a map of the area with you. Preferably a paper version. Electronic devices tend to be discharged at the most crucial moment. 3. In a backpack, you must have such things as: a first aid kit, a compass, matches 4. So that the matches do not get wet, they must be protected from water. To do this, the match head must be dipped in molten wax. Such a match will not get wet, even if it ends up in water.

5. Lantern with spare batteries.

6. Supply of food and drink. Water – 1 liter per person per day. Food is better to take not heavy and high-calorie. Nuts, crackers, dried fruits, biscuits or gingerbread are perfect
7. A set of spare (warm) clothes, spare shoes.

8. Knife.

9. Means of attracting attention: mirror, whistle.

10. Be careful. When walking (eating), pay attention to noticeable things (landmarks) – trees, stones, buildings, intersections. Try to leave identification marks behind you. For example, tie ribbons. This will keep you from getting lost. Before starting the journey, remember where the sun is. It will let you know the direction from which you came. Do not forget about the correction for the movement of the sun 15 degrees per hour. It is good to have a watch with hands, with their help (with the participation of the sun) you can easily determine the sides of the horizon. We’ll talk about this in another post.

Lost – what to do?

The first rule, if you get lost in an unknown place, and it does not matter in the forest or in the city, is not to panic! To find a solution and a way back, you need calmness and cold thinking. Look around. If you are sure that they will look for you, then it is better to be in one place, open and conspicuous. To be able to signal easily. You must understand that finding people is not an easy job, so your task is to contribute as much as possible to the fact that you were found as soon as possible. Remember that the salvation of the drowning is the work of the drowning themselves. If you get lost, look at your equipment, plan its use, write down a schedule for eating and drinking.

Do not drink alcohol. Be sober!

Set up camp. Build a hut. Make a fire. These conspicuous things will help you in salvation. Be confident in yourself and your abilities!

By always following these simple rules, you can make life a little easier on the trip you decide to take your child on.

We wish you only positive impressions from hiking
