It doesn&#8217;t matter how many times you&#8217;ve been to the Carpathians. Your plans can be disturbed by weather conditions, illness, accidents, and other circumstances.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, when going on a hike, you should make sure of the health and well-being of all the participants. It is better to refuse it if you suffer from arterial hypertension, diabetes, or joint problems. In any case, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the rules of survival in the mountains<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> require the presence of a first-aid kit with a basic set of medicines that can save lives.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before going to the Carpathians, you should pay attention to the experience of the participants. If the group consists of beginners, take a professional guide with you. He will not only tell many interesting facts about the area but will also be an attendant.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4726 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/starapravda.com.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/mountaineers-5649828_1280.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" srcset=\"https:\/\/starapravda.com.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/mountaineers-5649828_1280.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/starapravda.com.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/mountaineers-5649828_1280-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/starapravda.com.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/mountaineers-5649828_1280-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/starapravda.com.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/mountaineers-5649828_1280-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is also important to remember the following rules:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do not take or consume alcoholic beverages in the mountains. Better take care of a sufficient amount of food and water, as well as appropriate utensils.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clearly develop the route. Do not try to cover long distances and see many points of interest at once. In the end, you will quickly lose strength and remain dissatisfied with the weekend.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Put a compass and topographic maps of the area where your vacation will take place in your backpack.

This will help you prepare better. Of course, the weather is changeable, but you can get the general picture.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4727 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/starapravda.com.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/nature-3082832_1280.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/starapravda.com.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/nature-3082832_1280.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/starapravda.com.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/nature-3082832_1280-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/starapravda.com.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/nature-3082832_1280-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/starapravda.com.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/nature-3082832_1280-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do not deviate from the established route. Moreover, do not go into thickets of bushes or tall grass. They can be the home of wild animals, such as wild boars or bears. If they protect their children, the traveler will have very little chance of surviving.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You should not go deeper than 10 meters into thickets of rowan or mountain pine, especially if there is no path there.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the event of worsening weather conditions, you should return as soon as possible. At the same time, avoid metal objects and do not take them with you to the mountains to avoid being struck by lightning.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For the sake of spectacular photos, you should not climb objects that are dangerous. In spring, these are isolated snowdrifts and snow bridges, and in summer, stone blocks and slopes.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to spend the night there, think about whether it&#8217;s worth it.

You should also leave them your and your relatives&#8217; contact details. This will help specialists save you if necessary.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, you should take care of comfortable clothes, closed shoes, and sun protection products (glasses and a hat). Be sure to also have a raincoat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avoid eating mushrooms and unfamiliar berries in the mountains, especially if you know nothing about it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>What to do if you get lost in the forest: tips<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite all recommendations, it happens that travelers wander in the forest. No one is immune from this. Especially in winter, when the risk of getting lost on the route increases several times due to snow, poor lighting, and other factors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If it so happens that you get lost, it is important to know <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">how to get out of the forest<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Above all, don&#8217;t let fear get the best of you. If there is an opportunity to contact the rescuers, do it. However, if there is no network, the phone is turned off, or something else goes wrong, you will have to rely only on yourself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you fall behind the group, stay put. They will notice your absence and come back. Better find an open area nearby and make a fire. This will allow you to be seen from afar. Another option is to make a flag out of clothes and hang it on a tree.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-4729 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/starapravda.com.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/mountains-1281719_1280.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"757\" srcset=\"https:\/\/starapravda.com.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/mountains-1281719_1280.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/starapravda.com.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/mountains-1281719_1280-300x177.jpg 300w, https:\/\/starapravda.com.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/mountains-1281719_1280-1024x606.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/starapravda.com.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/mountains-1281719_1280-768x454.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are also cases when tourists are sure that they can find a way. Then it is better to go down a well-trodden path or move along a stream, but you can set off only during the day. At night, there is a great chance of getting injured and finally getting lost.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If trouble happens to you in the evening, find a safe place and pitch a tent. Don&#8217;t have it? Build a shelter out of spruce branches or settle in a rock crevice so you can wait for dawn and calm down. If your journey takes place in winter, you cannot sleep in the forest under any circumstances. Keep moving. Are you tired? Do eye exercises, squat, stretch your legs, and listen to what is happening around you. You may be able to recognize signs of life nearby.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do not lose your presence of mind and remember the rules of <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">how to navigate in the forest<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and then you will definitely find the right path.<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Carpathians are a wonderful place for an interesting vacation.
