🛡️ Ukuphepha Kuqala

Misa. Imizuzu yokuqala inquma okungaphezu kosuku lokuqala. Hlala phansi. Phefumula. Ukwethuka yindlela isimo esibi esiphenduka ngayo sibe yingozi — uhlamvu luka-U lwencwadi lukhuluma ngqo: ukujaha okungadingekile kuyamosha.

Abalimele bafika kuqala. Uma kukhona olimele, usizo lokuqala lufika kuqala — ngaphambi kwendawo yokucasha, ngaphambi kwamanzi, ngaphambi kwamasignali, kunoma yisiphi isimo sezulu emhlabeni. Lowo ngumyalelo wencwadi uqobo, futhi awugobi.

Bese wakha iphethini. Indawo yokucasha, amanzi, umlilo, ukudla, amasignali, usizo lokuqala — uhlele ngendlela indawo yakho nesimo sezulu esikufuna ngayo. Emakhazeni umlilo ungafika ngaphambi kwamanzi. Ehlane emini indawo enomthunzi ifika ngaphambi kwakho konke. Uhlelo lungolwakho, kodwa ukuba nohlelo akuyona into yokuzikhethela.

🔤 Igama: S.U.R.V.I.V.A.L.

Incwadi yezempi FM 3-05.70 ibeka ukusinda okuphelele kwizinhlamvu eziyisishiyagalombili. Nazi ngamagama acacile, ngendlela impilo yomphakathi eyizidinga ngayo.

• L — Phila ngokuhlakanipha — kodwa funda amakhono manje. Yilokho le ncwadi eyikho, kanye neNcwadi yamaScout eyandulelayo.

🌙 Ubusuku obude

Ukusinda kuvame ukumane kulinde ngobuhlakani. Lindela ubusuku besibili ukuba bube obunzima kunabo bonke — ukunambitheka okusha kuphelile, futhi abasindisi abakafiki. Lokho kuyinto ejwayelekile. Akusona isigwebo.

Gcina isigqi. Gcina umlilo, hlola amasignali akho, phuza amanzi, uphumule. Imisebenzi emincane eqediwe, inqwabelana, igcina ingqondo ihlangene. Futhi lapho amandla ebukeka ephelile, isithembiso esidala kakhulu kulesi siko sithi lokho akusikho ukuphela kwawo.

🛡️ Ukuphepha Kuqala

Ukuchayeka yisitha esisheshayo. Umuntu ophilile angaphila amasonto amaningi ngaphandle kokudla, izinsuku ngaphandle kwamanzi — kodwa ubusuku obumanzi, obunomoya obungenandawo yokucasha bungaphela ngaye. Uma isimo sezulu sishintsha, indawo yokucasha iya phambili emgqeni.

Qala ngokushesha kunalokho ocabanga ukuthi uyakudinga. Indawo yokucasha eqalwe kusihlwa iqeda ebumnyameni, ngezandla ezibandayo. Qala ngenkathi ukukhanya, ukufudumala, nokubekezela kusakhona.

Izimpahla zakho ziyindawo yakho yokucasha yokuqala. Zigcine zomile, zigcine zikuwe, futhi uphathe isiqephu ngasinye njengesikhali. Umuntu owomile endaweni yokucasha embi uhlula umuntu omanzi endaweni enhle.

📍 Khetha umhlaba kuqala

Yonke indawo kufanele iphumelele ezivivinyweni ezimbili zencwadi: inezinto zokwakha, futhi iyisicaba ngokwanele ukuthi ulale phansi ngokukhululeka. Emva kwalokho, hlala kude nezicupho.

• Ungalokothi ucishe endaweni yomfula owomile, noma ngaphansi kwendawo lapho amanzi aphezulu efika khona — izikhukhula zivela ngaphansi kwesibhakabhaka esicacile, ngenxa yemvula ekude ngamakhilomitha
• Ngaphansi kwezihlahla ezifile noma amadwala axegayo nakho — izinto eziwayo ziwa ngaphandle kwesexwayiso
• Ezindaweni ezibandayo gwema phansi kwezigodi — umoya obandayo uyahlala phansi njengamanzi
• Seduze kwamanzi nezinkuni, kodwa hhayi ngqo phezu kwakho — seduze ngokwanele ukuthwala, kude ngokwanele ukuhlala womile futhi uphumule

Sebenzisa lokho umhlaba osuvele wakwakha — udonga lwamadwala, isihlahla esiwe, isihlahla esiminyene — bese uyayithuthukisa. Umsebenzi ongawenzi ungamandla owagcinile.

🛖 Yakha kancane, futhi uzihlukanise nomhlaba

Iphutha elijwayeleke labasaqalayo yindawo yokucasha enkulu kakhulu. Indawo umzimba owodwa ongeke uyifudumeze iyindawo entshontsha ukushisa kwakho. Yakha inkulu ngokwanele ukuba ulale phansi, iphansi, iqine, nomhlane wakho ubheke emoyeni.

Zihlukanise nomhlaba ngaphambi kokuhlobisa phezulu. Uma ulele, ingxenye enkulu yokushisa komzimba wakho ibalekela phansi uqobo — incwadi ithi kuze kube ngamaphesenti angu-80. Umbhede ojiyile wamahlamvu omile, izinaliti zikaphayini, noma utshani bungaphezu kophahla oluphindwe kabili.

Itarpaulin, iponcho, noma ishidi lepulasitiki elikhulu, eliboshelwe phakathi kwezihlahla ezimbili njengophahla olutshekile, nehhange eliphansi elibheke emoyeni, lingamelana nobusuku bemvula. Izintambo ezifushane eziboshwe onqenqemeni olutshekile — izintambo zokuthontsiza — zivimba imvula ukuba ingagijimi ngezintambo ingene embhedeni wakho.

🛡️ Ukuphepha Kuqala

Hlanza konke. Ngisho namanzi acacile asezintabeni angathwala i-giardia ne-cryptosporidium. Incwadi ibiza kokubili ngamagama, futhi kokubili kungaqeda ukusinda ngaphakathi. Ngaphandle kokuthi amanzi avela ebhodleleni elivaliwe noma empompini owenziwe kahle, awahlanze. Ungenzi okuhlukile ngoba abukeka emuhle.

Londoloza umjuluko, ungalokothi ulondoloze amanzi. IButho lizame ukuqeqesha amasosha ukuthi aphile ngamanzi amancane futhi lakhokha ngokugula okushisayo kwamakhulu — incwadi uqobo ikusho lokho. Phuza amanzi umzimba owadingayo, ngesikhathi: cishe uhhafu welitha ngehora lapho izinga lokushisa lingaphansi kuka-38 °C, ilitha ngehora ngaphezu kwalokho. Into oyilondolozayo ngumjuluko — phumula emthunzini, hamba ngamahora apholile, futhi ugcine izimpahla zikuwe ngokumelene nelanga.

Nasezindaweni ezibandayo amanzi ayadingeka — okungenani amalitha amabili ngosuku. Umkhuhlane ufihla ukoma. Phuza ngewashi, hhayi ngomuzwa.

🗺️ Ukuthola amanzi

Amanzi agijimela phansi futhi ahlangana ezindaweni eziphansi. Landela izigodi nemifudlana eyomile uye phansi, futhi umbe ekugobeni okuphansi kwangaphandle komgudu owomile. Ukumanzi kokugcina kuvame ukufihlala ngaphansi kwesihlabathi.

• Amazolo asindayo — bopha izindwangu noma izibopho zotshani ezincane ezinyaweni zakho, uhambe otshanini obumanzi ngamazolo ngaphambi kokuphuma kwelanga, bese uwakhama aye esitsheni. Kungumsebenzi odinga ukubekezela, kodwa ngamanzi angempela
• Izigodi eziluhlaza, izinqamu zezihlahla, imifantu yamadwala — amanzi ahlangana lapho impilo isivele ihlangene khona. Indle yezinyoni ezungeze umfantu ingaba wuphawu lomthombo ofihlekile
• Izinambuzane nezinyoni — izinyosi ezindiza ngomugqa oqondile ekuseni nakusihlwa ziya emsebenzini. Leyo ndlela ivame ukuphela emanzini
• Imvula — iqoqwe esitsheni esihlanzekile, iyona ephephe kakhulu kuyo yonke imithombo. Beka ishidi noma itarpaulin ukuze ubambe okuningi

Noma yini oyitholayo, yihluze kuqala ngendwangu bese uyalinda — bese uyayihlanza. Ukuhlanza nokucacisa akufani.

♨️ Ukwenza aphephe

Ukubilisa kuyindlela ethembekile kakhulu — futhi iNational Park Service inika izikhathi. Bilisa amanzi ngokuphelele iminithi elilodwa. Ngaphezu kwamamitha angu-2,000 (izinyawo ezingu-6,500) ukuphakama, imizuzu emithathu. Ukubila okuphelele kubulala izinto eziphilayo ezibangela izifo, kuhlanganise nalezo amakhemikhali angazitholi.

Amakhemikhali ayasebenza, ngemingcele. Alandelwe kahle, amanani encwadi asensimini yilawa: amathonsi amahlanu e-tincture ye-iodine engu-2% ebhodleleni lamanzi acacile (ayishumi uma amanzi equkethe udaka noma ebanda), bese ulinda imizuzu engu-30 — noma amathonsi amabili e-bleach ejwayelekile yasekhaya (5.25%) ebhodleleni, bese ulinda imizuzu engu-30, noma engu-60 uma kubanda noma kunodaka. Isiqondiso sepaki sikusho ngendlela efanayo ngelitha: amathonsi amabili e-bleach noma amahlanu e-iodine, bese ulinda okungenani imizuzu engu-30. Kodwa lalela isexwayiso sencwadi: amakhemikhali awasebenzi ngamaphesenti ayikhulu ngokumelene ne-cryptosporidium — kulokho ukubilisa noma isihlungi sangempela se-microfilter siyimpendulo.

I-solar still ihamba kancane — yazi isivuno sayo esiqotho. Ishidi lepulasitiki elicacile elibekwe phezu komgodi osemhlabeni onelanga, elinesisindo sokuthontsiza esitsheni, linika cishe uhhafu welitha kuya kwilitha ngosuku. Incwadi ibala ukuthi okungenani ama-still amathathu ayadingeka ukondla umuntu oyedwa ngosuku. Wakhe uma uhlala. Unganciki kuwo ukuthi uzohamba noma cha.

🛡️ Ukuphepha Kuqala

Hlanza indilinga okungenani imitha elilodwa (izinyawo ezintathu) ububanzi kuze kubonakale umhlaba, ngaphambi kwanoma yimuphi umlilo. Futhi ngaphambi kokulaya noma yini, yazi imithetho yomlilo yaleyo ndawo nengozi yomlilo — ngesikhathi esomile, umgqigqo owodwa wezivunguvungu uhlukanisa umlilo wakho wesignali nomlilo wehlathi.

Ungalokothi ushiye umlilo uwodwa, futhi ungalokothi ulale eduze nomlilo omkhulu. Uwunciphise noma uwucishe ngokuphelele. Ukucisha kusho ukubanda: uwuthele amanzi, uwugoqoze, uwuthele amanzi futhi, bese uwuthinta. Uma usashisa kakhulu ukuthi ungawuthinta, awukakulungele ukuthi ushiywe.

Ungalokothi uvuthe umlilo ngaphakathi kwendawo yokucasha evaliwe. Incwadi ibala ubuthi be-carbon monoxide phakathi kwezindleko zomlilo — umbulali ongabonakali, onganuki. Umlilo ungaphandle kwendawo yokulala, noma ngaphakathi kwesitofu esifanelekile esinesimoko esifanelekile.

Amatshe amanzi noma anezimbotshana angaqhuma uma eshisiwe. Zungeza umlilo ngamatshe omile, aqinile kuphela — noma ungawuzungezi nhlobo.

🔺 Unxantathu namathafa amathathu

Umlilo ume phezu kwemilenze emithathu, futhi ukususa noma iyiphi yawo uwuwisa: umoya, ukushisa, uphethiloli. Yonke inkinga ngomlilo iyinkinga yomlenze owodwa omfushane.

Qoqa osayizi bobathathu ngaphambi kokushaya isipaki.

• Isihlakala (tinder) — izinto ezomile ngokuphelele ezivutha ngesipaki: amagxolo ahlakazekile, utshani obomile, isidleke esicwecwe kakhulu sezintambo. Owomile ngokuphelele akusikho ukukhetha; kuyimfuneko
• Ukubasa (kindling) — izinti ezomile, kusukela ekubambeni kwepensela kuya ebubanzini bomunwe, zengezwa kancane ukuze kwakhiwe ukushisa
• Uphethiloli — izinkuni ezinkulu ezivutha kancane futhi ngokungaguquki, ngemva kokuba umlilo ume ngempela

Qoqa okungaphezu kwalokho ocabanga ukuthi uyakudinga. Bese uphinda kabili. Ayikho indoda eke yazisola ngo-03:00 ukuthi inqwaba yayo yezinkuni yayinkulu kakhulu.

🏗️ Ukwakha nokugcina

I-Tepee: misa izinti zokubasa njengekhoni phezu kwebhola lesihlakala bese ulaya phakathi. Njengoba livutha, izinti ziwa ngaphakathi futhi zondle umlilo — isakhiwo esixolelayo, esisebenza noma izinkuni zangaphandle zimanzi.

I-Pyramid: izingqimba zezingodo ezibekwe ngokunqamula, isingqimba ngasinye sincane kunaleso esingaphansi kwaso, futhi silaywe phezulu. Livutha liye phansi lona ngokwalo — yifomu incwadi elikhethayo lomlilo ongadingi ukunakekelwa kakhulu ubusuku bonke.

Emazweni eqhwa, wakha umlilo wakho phezu kwesiteji sezingodo eziluhlaza. Ngaphandle kwaso umlilo uzomba ithuna lawo emanzini ancibilikile. Udonga lwezingodo noma amatshe ngemuva komlilo lubuyisela ukushisa kuwe futhi luvimbe umoya — udonga olubuyisayo lufanele isikhathi sokulwakha ngobusuku obubandayo.

Yondla amalahle ahlezi. Agoqwe phansi ngaphansi komlotha ebusuku, umbhede wamalahle uvame ukuphila kuze kube sekuseni, ukusindise emsebenzini onzima kakhulu wosuku — ukuqala phansi.

🕯️ Uma ungenawo umentshisi

Umentshisi owomile ophethwe owomile uyinkosi — uwugcine ungamanzi, futhi uwuphathe emaphaketheni angaphezu kwelilodwa (Isahluko 10). Uma uphela, izindlela zakudala zisasebenza — futhi zonke zifuna isihlakala esomile kunazo zonke ongazithola.

• Ilensi — ngosuku olunelanga, ingilazi yokukhulisa, i-binocular, noma ilensi yekhamera ingagxila ilanga odongeni, bese iqala ukushunqa. Ngokubekezela, ngesandla esinganyakazi, nangomoya omnene, ukushunqa kuphenduka ilangabi
• I-Flint nensimbi — itshe eliqinile, elinomphetho obukhali elishaywa ensimbini ye-carbon likhiqiza izinhlansi zangempela. Incwadi ibiza lokhu njengendlela yezinhlansi ethembekile kakhulu
• Ukuxubha — i-fire plow ne-bow drill — ukhuni oluqinile oluhlikihlwa okhunini oluthambile kuze kube yilapho uthuli ngokwalo luvutha. Lukhona, lungokwasendulo, futhi ludinga amandla. Lindela ukwehluleka okuningi ngaphambi kwempumelelo yokuqala. Lokho akusikho ukwehluleka kwakho; yizindleko ezithembekileyo zendlela

Yonke yalezi zindlela ingeyokuthi uzilolonge ngaphambi kokuzidinga — ekhaya, ngokukhululeka. Umthetho weNcwadi yamaScout uyasebenza lapha: ungalokothi uzame ikhono okokuqala emakhazeni, ebumnyameni, noma engozini.

🛡️ Ukuphepha Kuqala

Yidla kuphela lokho ongakuqinisekisa ngokuqinisekileyo. Leso isexwayiso sencwadi, futhi siyisexwayiso esinamandla aphelele. I-hemlock enobuthi ibulale abantu ababeyiphambanisa nesanqante sasendle. Isitshalo osicishe usazi yisitshalo ongayidliyo.

Ungalokothi udle amakhowe asendle angaziwa esimweni sokusinda. Ayikho isivivinyo kulesi sahluko — noma kuphi — esenza ikhowe elingaziwa liphephe. Futhi elibi kunawo wonke likhombisa izimpawu ngemva kwezinsuku, ngenkathi kungekho lutho olungasiza. Umthetho wencwadi uphelele, nowale ncwadi unjalo.

Pheka lokho ongakupheka, nganoma isikhathi nakuphi. Ukushisa okuphelele kubulala izinambuzane nezifo ukudla kwasendle okuzithwalayo. Ukudla okuluhlaza kuyindlela yokugcina, hhayi isimiso.

🌱 Izitshalo, nesivivinyo sokudliwa kwendawo yonke

Qala ngokudla osuvele ukwazi engadini nasensimini — i-dandelion, i-cattail, i-plantain, ama-acorn ageziwe ubumunyu bawo, ama-berry obungawabiza igama lawo uvale amehlo. Ukudla ojwayelene nakho akudingi sivivinyo.

Ngesitshalo ongeke usiqinisekise, incwadi inika isivivinyo sokudliwa kwendawo yonke — futhi isifundo saso sangempela ukuthi ukuqiniseka kuhamba kancane kangakanani. Isitshalo esisodwa, ingxenye eyodwa ngesikhathi esisodwa: zila ukudla amahora ayisishiyagalombili; thinta ucezu ngaphakathi kwendololwane noma esihlakaleni imizuzu engu-15; bese uthinta ucezu ngomlomo imizuzu emithathu, kulandelwe ilulimi imizuzu engu-15, kulandelwe ukuhlafuna nokubamba imizuzu engu-15 ngaphandle kokugwinya; bese ugwinya bese ulinda amahora ayisishiyagalombili; bese udla ingxenye yesine yendebe bese ulinda amanye amahora ayisishiyagalombili. Ingxenye ngayinye yesitshalo ngayinye ithatha usuku olungaphezu kolulodwa ukuba iphumelele. Uma kukhona okungahambi kahle nganoma yisiphi isigaba, isitshalo sesiphendule: cha.

Futhi ngeqa isivivinyo uqobo nganoma yini ene: uju olumhlophe olunobisi noma olushintshile umbala · ubhontshisi, ama-bulb, noma imbewu engaphakathi kwama-pod · ukunambitheka okubabayo noma okunesiponji · ameva, izinwele ezinhle, noma uboya · amaqabunga afana ne-dill, isanqante, i-parsnip, noma i-parsley · iphunga le-alimondi emaqabungen noma okhunini olumnyama · amakhanda ezinhlamvu anezikhwebu ezipinki, ezinsomi, noma ezimnyama · iphethini yokukhula enamaqabunga amathathu. Lezo yizinto incwadi ezichithayo. Uzolahlekelwa ukudla okuthile okudliwayo. Kungasindisa impilo yakho.

🐜 Impilo encane — izinambuzane, izikelemu, nezinto zasogwini

Ukudla okuningi kakhulu emhlabeni kuhamba ngezinyawo eziyisithupha. Incwadi ibala izinambuzane ngamaprotheni angamaphesenti angu-65 kuya kwangu-80 — uma kuqhathaniswa namaphesenti acishe abe ngu-20 enyameni yenkomo. Izibungu ezitholakala ezinkunini ezibolile, amathemithi, izintuthwane, namakhilikithi kuwukudla okuqotho uma ingqondo ivuma.

• Kumele kugwenywe — izinto ezihlabayo, ezilumayo, ezinezinwele, ezinemibala ekhanyayo, ama-caterpillar, nanoma yini enephunga elinamandla lamakhemikhali — kanye nezicabucabu, amaqothuka, izimpukane, nomiyane ngokuphelele
• Izinambuzane ezinamagobolondo aqinile zithwala izinambuzane — zipheke. Susa izimpiko nemilenze enameva kuqala
• Izikelemu zomhlaba zingamaprotheni amahle: zigcine emanzini ahlanzekile cishe imizuzu engu-15 ukuze zizihlanze, bese uzipheka
• Ama-shellfish nokudla kwasogwini: ama-mussel, ama-clam, iminenke, nama-crayfish avela emanzini ahlanzekile — aphekwe egobolondweni. Ungalokothi udle ama-shellfish angambozwanga yigagasi eliphakeme, futhi ungalokothi udle ngemva kwegagasi elibomvu

🎣 Ukudoba, ngendlela yokubekezela

Izinhlanzi ziwukudla kwasendle okubanjwa kalula kakhulu, uma uzidoba lapho izinhlanzi zihlala khona ngempela. Zidla kahle kakhulu ngaphambi kwesiphepho, futhi ziphumula lapho umgudu uphumula khona — ema-eddies ngemuva kwamadwala, ezizibeni ezijulile, nangaphansi kwamahlathi alengayo noma izingodo ezicwilile.

Intambo nehhuku encane, kanye nesibungu noma isikelemu njengesithiyo, kuyindlela ephelele. Yenza amahhuku ngezinto ezitholakalayo — ameva noma izingcezu zamathambo — uma kudingeka. Azikho izinhlanzi zamanzi ahlanzekile ezinobuthi — kodwa hlonipha i-catfish: ameva ayo e-pectoral ayaluma, futhi amanxeba angaba nezifo. Pheka zonke izinhlanzi zamanzi ahlanzekile ngokuphelele; izinambuzane zingokoqobo. Ezindaweni ezishisayo qaphela izilwane ezinkulu ezidla amadwala — ezinye zithwala ubuthi obubizwa nge-ciguatera, obungashi ngomlilo.

🛡️ Ukuphepha Kuqala

Ukuhlala lapho ukhona kuyisinqumo sokuzulazula — futhi ngokuvamile esilungile. Umuntu ohambayo kunzima ukumthola futhi kulula ukumlimaza. Hamba lapho indlela eya osizweni iqinisekile, hhayi lapho ukhathele nje ukulinda.

Maka indlela yakho njengoba uya — amagatsha aphukile, amatshe ahleliwe, imicibisholo yezinti — ukuze ukwazi ukubuyela endaweni yokucasha futhi, uma ukuhamba kwakho kwehluleka, abasindisi bakwazi ukukulandela.

Hamba ngamahora amahle. Misa kusenesikhathi ngaphambi kokuba kube mnyama, futhi ungalokothi uxazulule indlela ngokuqagela ongakuqinisekisa. Usuku oluhanjwe ngendlela engalungile luyimbobo ejulile kunendawo yokuqala.

☀️ Ilanga nenduku yethunzi

Ilanga liphuma empumalanga futhi lishona entshonalanga — cishe, futhi cishe kwanele. Ithunzi lalo likunika okungcono: indlela yethunzi-nesihloko yencwadi, esebenza noma kuphi emhlabeni.

• Beka induku eqondile, engaba imitha elilodwa (izinyawo ezintathu) ubude, emhlabeni oyisicaba lapho ithunzi liwa khona licacile futhi libukhali
• Maka isihloko sethunzi ngetshe. Lolo phawu lokuqala luhlala lusentshonalanga — noma kuphi emhlabeni
• Linda imizuzu engu-10 kuya kwengu-15. Isihloko sethunzi siyahamba. Maka indawo yaso entsha. Leyo ingempumalanga
• Dweba umugqa phakathi kwalezimpawu ezimbili — umugqa wakho wempumalanga-nentshonalanga. Ngophawu lwentshonalanga esandleni sakho sobunxele nolwempumalanga kwesokudla, ubheke enyakatho

Iwashi eline-analog liyasebenza futhi. Emkhathini osenyakatho, libeke phansi uyisicaba bese ukhomba isandla samahora elangeni; phakathi kwesandla samahora no-12 kungumugqa wenyakatho-ningizimu. (Ngesikhathi sokulondoloza ukukhanya kwelanga sehlobo, sebenzisa u-1 esikhundleni sika-12.) Futhi ebusuku inyanga igcina isithembiso esicishe sibe khona: uma iphuma ngaphambi kokushona kwelanga, uhlangothi lwayo olukhanyayo lubheke entshonalanga; uma iphuma ngemva kwamabili, uhlangothi olukhanyayo lubheke empumalanga.

⭐ Izinkanyezi, kanye nenkolelo-ze eyodwa eqotho

Inkanyezi yaseNyakatho ayinyakazi — uma uyithola, inyakatho yangempela ilenga esibhakabhakeni. Kusukela ku-Big Dipper, izinkanyezi ezimbili zomphetho wangaphandle wendebe yayo ziyizikhombisi: welule lowo mugqa phezulu cishe ngokuphindwe kahlanu kunebanga phakathi kwazo, futhi ufika kuyo.

Umkhathi oseningizimu awunayo inkanyezi yesigxobo. Sebenzisa i-Southern Cross: welula i-axis yayo ende cishe ngokuphindwe kane nengxenye kuya kahlanu, bese uwisa lelo phuzu phansi esibhakabhakeni, futhi ubheke eningizimu.

Ukuhoxa kwenkolelo-ze: ubulembu abukhuli ohlangothini olusenyakatho lwesihlahla kuphela — incwadi uqobo iyayichitha le ndaba endala, ngoba ubulembu bukhula nxazonke zezihlahla eziningi. Iziqondiso zobulembu ziyizindaba, hhayi ithuluzi. Indlela yokugcina engcono: inaliti ehlutshiwe ohlangothini olulodwa phezu kukasilika noma ezinweleni iba nozibuthe; iyantanta eqabungeni emanzini ethule, izolala emgqeni wenyakatho-ningizimu.

🛡️ Ukuphepha Kuqala

Qala ukusayina kusenesikhathi, ngenkathi usenemandla. Usuku otholakala ngalo akulona usuku oqala ngalo ukwakha umlilo wesignali. Yilungiselele, uyimboze, futhi uyilungele ukulaywa ngesikhathi ozwa ngaso injini.

Sayina endaweni evulekile, ephakeme — indawo evulekile neyisicaba enkulu kunazo zonke ongayifinyelela, ebonakala esibhakabhakeni. Isignali ephelele engaphansi komphezulu ovaliwe iyimfihlo, hhayi isignali.

Noma iyiphi idivayisi yokucela usizo ophetheyo ihlula konke okulapha. Ifoni enebha eyodwa yesignali, i-personal locator beacon, impempe ebhaka lakho — sebenzisa amathuluzi esimanje kuqala, futhi usebenzise amadala njalo. Ukuphindaphinda akusiyo imosha; yindlela abantu abatholwa ngayo.

3️⃣ Umthetho wabathathu

Imvelo ayenzi abathathu. Ngakho abathathu banoma yini, bephindaphindwa, kuyisignali yamazwe omhlaba yokuhlupheka — amehlo nezindlebe zabasindisi zilungiselelwe kuleyo frequency.

• Ebusuku: imililo emithathu, ebekwe njengonxantathu noma emgqeni cishe ngamamitha angu-25 (izinyawo ezingu-83) ngokwehlukana. Umlilo owodwa uyindawo yokucasha; imililo emithathu iyimiyalezo. Uma uwedwa, gcina owodwa uphila — umlilo owodwa usahlula ukungabi nalutho
• Emini: intuthu. Amakholomu amathathu, uma ukwazi. Vala umlilo ovuthayo kahle ngamahlamvu aluhlaza noma ubulembu futhi uthuthukise intuthu emhlophe kakhulu — khetha intuthu ehluke kunesizinda: emhlophe ngokumelene nehlathi elimnyama, emnyama ngokumelene neqhwa noma isihlabathi
• Ngezindlebe: izimpempe ezintathu, ikhefu, bese kuba ezintathu futhi. Impempe eyenziwe ihamba kude ngendlela emangalisayo — kufika cishe ku-1.6 km (imayela elilodwa) ezimweni ezirekhodiwe — futhi ayikhathali, ayipheli, futhi ayipheli amandla njengoba izwi lenza

🪞 Isibuko, ukukhanya, ne-SOS

Ngosuku olucacile, isibuko sesignali siyidivayisi yakho engcono kakhulu — isikhala. Noma isiphi isibuko noma insimbi epholishiwe iyasebenza. Abashayeli bezindiza babike ukubona ukukhanya kwaso kusuka ku-160 km (cishe amamayela ayikhulu) ezimweni ezikahle. Khomba ngendlela elula: bamba indawo yokukhanya kwelanga entendeni yakho ephakanyisiwe, iminwe yakho ibe sesimweni se-V; beka indiza ku-V ngenkathi ugcina ukukhanya entendeni yakho; bese unyakazisa isibuko kancane ukuze ukukhanya kushele phezu kwethagethi. Zilolonge ekhaya — kungumkhono wemizuzu emihlanu okhokha kumamayela ayikhulu.

Ebusuku, ithoshi liyakhuluma. Igama lomhlaba wonke lithi SOS: ezintathu ezimfushane, ezintathu ezinde, ezintathu ezimfushane — bese uphinda, futhi uqhubeke uphinda. Kungaba futhi ukungqongqoza okuthathu, izimpempe ezintathu, noma yibaphi abathathu abavela ngesigqi esifanayo.

Yandlala izimpahla noma izinto ezinemibala ekhanyayo endaweni evulekile ngezimo ezinkulu, eziqondile ukuze zisebenze ngenkathi uphumula. Imvelo iyagwema imigqa eqondile nokuhluka okunamandla; yingakho kanye kubonakala.

✈️ Ikhodi yamasignali yasemhlabeni iya emoyeni

Lapho indiza iseduze, uphawu olulodwa olukhulu luhlula inkulumo. Lwakhe ngamahlamvu, amatshe, izimpahla, noma iqhwa eligxotshiwe — okungenani amamitha angu-4 (izinyawo ezingu-13) ububanzi namamitha angu-6 (izinyawo ezingu-20) ubude, lukhulu ngendlela ongayenza, ngokuhluka okucace kakhulu ongakwenza, futhi lubekwe laya enyakatho-ningizimu ukuze ithunzi lelanga luluveze. Abashayeli bezindiza emhlabeni wonke bayayiqonda le mihlanu:

• V — sidinga usizo
• X — sidinga usizo lwezokwelapha
• N — cha, noma ukuphika (kusuka esiNgisini esithi no)
• Y — yebo, noma ukuvuma (kusuka esiNgisini esithi yes)
• → — umcibisholo: siqhubekela kule ndlela

Uma umshayeli wendiza enyakazisa amaphiko endiza yakhe, umyalezo wakho wamukelwe futhi waqondakala. Kusukela lapho, landela imiyalelo yakhe, gcina amasignali akho, futhi uhlale lapho ukhona kuze kube yilapho isandla sangempela sifika kuwe. Ukutholakala akufani nokukhishwa. Ihora lokugcina lifanelwe isineke esifanayo nehora lokuqala.

🛡️ Ukuphepha Kuqala

Hlonipha ushintsho. Ugwadule oluvuthayo emini luya qhwaba ebusuku. Intaba ingazenzela isimo sezulu sayo ngehora elilodwa. Ulwandle oluzolile ekuphumeni kwelanga aluthembisi ukuzola kusihlwa. Gqoka futhi ucishe ngehora elibi kakhulu losuku, hhayi elingcono kakhulu.

Hamba emahoreni anomusa — bese uphumula emahoreni anonya. Lolo shintsho olulodwa, ukuphumula ngokushisa noma ukuphumula ngobumnyama, luyihlakanipho lendawo elidala kunazo zonke elikhona.

Iphethini iyasebenza noma kuphi: indawo yokucasha, amanzi, umlilo, ukudla, amasignali, usizo lokuqala — ihlelwa kabusha ngumhlaba omi kuwo.

🏜️ Ugwadule

Londoloza umjuluko, hhayi amanzi (Isahluko 3): incwadi ikhuluma ngqo — ungalokothi ulinganise amanzi akho. Phuza cishe ilitha ngehora ekushiseni kwangempela. Ukoma kuyaqamba amanga; kuletha okubili kokuthathu kuphela kwalokho okudingayo. Bheka umchamo wakho esikhundleni salokho — umbala okhanyayo ulungile, omnyama usho ukuthi phuza manje.

• Umthunzi uyizinga lokushisa, hhayi ukunethezeka — umoya osemthunzini upholile kakhulu kunomoya oshisayo ozungezile, futhi umhlaba ongawuthinta elangeni ungaba ngu-16 kuya ku-22 °C (30 kuya ku-40 °F) oshisa kunomoya. Njalo beka okuthile phakathi kwakho nomhlaba
• Hlala ugqokile. Izimpahla ezixegayo phezu kwesikhumba, ikhanda nentamo zimboziwe: izimpahla zakho zibamba umjuluko wakho zikunike ukupholisa kwawo okuphelele, kunokuba umoya uwuntshontshe
• Phumula emini, uhambe ebusuku nasekuseni — futhi ungadli uma amanzi eqina ngempela: ukugaya ukudla kubiza amanzi ngokwako
• Ibhala liyaqamba amanga — ugwadule oluvulekile lwenza abantu abaningi balinganise cishe ngokuphindwe kathathu. Lowo mbhoshongo wamanzi ukude ngokuphindwe kathathu kunalokho okubukeka
• Imigwaqo eyomile yezifudlana iyimizila yezikhukhula. Imvula ongayibonanga ingehla ngomgwaqo owomile njengodonga lwamanzi. Cishe endaweni ephakeme, futhi ngesivunguvungu sesihlabathi mboza umlomo nekhala, ulale phansi, bese ulinda ukuba sidlule

❄️ Amakhaza neqhwa

Uhlelo lwezimpahla lunegama encwadini: COLDER (isifinyezo sesiNgisi) — gcina izimpahla zihlanzekile (Clean), gwema ukushisa ngokweqile (Overheating), gqoka uxega (Loose) futhi ungqimba ngongqimba (Layers), uhlale womile (Dry), uzihlole (Examine), futhi uzilungise (Repair) kusenesikhathi. Umjuluko uyisikweletu esikhokhwa emakhazeni: vula ungqimba ngaphambi kokujuluka, hhayi ngemva kwalokho.

Mboza ikhanda lakho — incwadi ibala ukuthi ikhanda elingavikelwe lilahlekelwa ngamaphesenti angu-40 kuya kwangu-45 okushisa komzimba — futhi qaphela umoya: ukubanda komoya (windchill) kuyizinga lokushisa isikhumba sakho esiphila kulo ngempela.

I-hypothermia ingaqala ngaphezu kwezinga lokuqhwa — isexwayiso se-CDC: nasezingeni lokushisa elipholile elingaphezu kuka-40 °F (4 °C), umuntu omanzi ngemvula, umjuluko, noma amanzi abandayo futhi obandayo ngumoya, uyangena ku-hypothermia. Izimpawu ezigcwele nokuphendula zikwiSahluko 9. Phatha ukuthuthumela okuhlanganiswe nokudideka njengesimo esiphuthumayo ngokwaso.

Ncibilikisa iqhwa neqhwa ukuze uphuze esikhundleni sokukudla — ukudla iqhwa kubiza ukushisa komzimba okufunayo ukukugcina. Futhi khumbula Isahluko 3: izindawo ezibandayo zisadinga amalitha amabili amanzi ngosuku.

🌧️ Izindawo ezimanzi, ihlathi, nezintaba

Ezindaweni ezimanzi, ukuhlala womile ngumsebenzi wakho wansuku zonke: khama, linda, jikelezisa. Isethi yezimpahla zomile eyodwa, evaliwe ngokwehlukana, egcinelwe ukulala, iyithuluzi lokusinda, hhayi into yokunethezeka. Amanzi ngokuvamile atholakala — imivini, uqalo, nokudla imvula uqobo (Isahluko 3) — kodwa kusafanele ahlanzwe; amanzi afudumele, amile athwala okuningi kunalokho ukoma okungakuxolela, kufaka phakathi ama-leech emanzini angajulile — axega ngosawoti, noma ngokulaya ngokucophelela ekugcineni — futhi ungalokothi uwakhiphe ngokwethuka.

Ezintabeni, isimo sezulu singokwendawo futhi siyashesha, futhi umbani ubusa izindawo eziphakeme: uma uzwa ukuduma, yehla futhi ungene endlini noma endaweni yokucasha ephansi kunazo zonke ongayithola — itende aliyona indawo yokucasha — futhi ulinde imizuzu engamashumi amathathu ngemva kokuduma kokugcina ngaphambi kokukhuphuka futhi (umthetho weNational Weather Service, othathwe kuNcwadi yamaScout). Wela imifudlana ekuseni lapho iphansi kakhulu, khulula ibhande lebhaka lakho, futhi ungalokothi uwela ngaphezu kwempophoma.

Isiphepho kunoma yikuphi ukuphakama sabelana nomthetho owodwa nogwadule nolwandle: uhlelo lushintsha ngesibhakabhaka. Indawo yokucasha ngaphambi kokuziqhenya.

🌊 Ulwandle

Emanzini, umkhumbi wakho — noma i-raft yawo yokuphila — yindawo yakho yokucasha, inkundla yakho yamasignali, nekheli lakho. Hlala eduze kwawo. Umkhumbi, ngisho nowaphukile, mkhulu, womile kakhulu, futhi kulula ukuwuthola kunombhukudi, futhi ukusesha kuhlala kuqala lapho umkhumbi ukhona.

• Gqoka i-life jacket, futhi uhlale uyigqokile — ibamba ikhanda lakho lapho ukhathele kakhulu noma ulimele ukuthi ungabhukudi; incwadi iyibala njengesikhathi sokusinda esizuzuziwe, hhayi nje ukuntanta
• Phuma emanzini noma nini lapho kungenzeka — amanzi abandayo asusa ukushisa ngokushesha kakhulu kunomoya obandayo; khuphukela emkhunjini, i-raft, noma yini
• Zivikele kuqala — ilanga, umoya, nesifutho solwandle ziyizikhali zolwandle ezingapheli; mboza isikhumba sakho, mboza ikhanda lakho, futhi londoloza amandla akho ngaphambi kwezimpahla
• Sayina ngakho konke — isibuko emini, ukukhanya ebusuku, izinto ezinemibala ekhanyayo ezandlalwe. Olwandle, i-dye marker nama-flare — uma umkhumbi wakho unakho — akhuluma ngqo lapho indiza iseduze: wagcinele izindlebe ezingezwa

🛡️ Ukuphepha Kuqala

Hlola indawo ngaphambi kokuthinta noma ubani. Uhlaka lweRed Cross oluvela kuNcwadi yamaScout lusasebenza: umuntu wesibili olimele akasizi muntu. Bese uhlola olimele, bese uthumela zonke izingcingo onazo — ifoni, i-beacon, amasignali (Isahluko 7) — bese unakekela.

Ukopha yiwashi elizwakala kakhulu. Kukho konke okulesi sahluko, ukopha okukhulu yikona kuphela okubala ngemizuzu. Kuphathe kuqala, ngaphambi kwama-splint, ngaphambi kokududuza, ngaphambi kwakho konke.

Ngokuphuka nokulunywa, umthetho wasensimini umugqa owodwa: gcina umuntu ethule, indawo elimele isekelwe njengoba injalo futhi inganyakazi, futhi uthole usizo lochwepheshe ngokushesha ngangokunokwenzeka nganoma yisiphi isignali. Ukwenza izinto ensimini kuphela lapha — ukuhlinza okunomusa akuwona usizo lokuqala.

🩸 Ukopha namanxeba

Cindezela ngokuqondile nangokuqinile phezu kwendawo yokopha, ngendwangu ehlanzekile kunazo zonke onayo — futhi ubambe. Uma igazi lingena, engeza izingqimba phezulu; ungalokothi ususe ungqimba lokuqala, noma uzodabula ihlule igazi umzimba olenzayo. Gcina ingcindezi. Phakamisa isitho uma ukwazi ukukwenza ngaphandle kokukhulula ingcindezi.

I-tourniquet iyithuluzi lomuntu oqeqeshiwe — uma uqeqeshiwe, sebenzisa ukuqeqeshwa kwakho; uma kungenjalo, ingcindezi nokubekezela ngamathuluzi akho. Pakisha inxeba elijulile ngendwangu ehlanzekile bese ucindezela phezu kokupakisha.

Ngemva kokuba ukopha kulawulwa: gcina inxeba lihlanzekile, limbozwe, futhi ligcine limboziwe. Ensimini, izindwangu zokumboza ezihlanzekile zibaluleke kakhulu kangangokuba incwadi ibala ama-bandage ayinyumba phakathi kokusetshenziswa okusemthethweni komlilo. Bheka noma yiliphi inxeba nsuku zonke — ububomvu obusabalalayo, ukushisa, nemfiva kuyisignali yokuthi inxeba licela usizo okungenzeka kufanele uhambe ukuze uluthole.

🌡️ Izifo zokushisa — umugqa we-CDC

Ukushisa kwenza iziguli ezimbili ezihlukene, futhi ukuzihlukanisa yikona okuyikhono.

• Ukuphelelwa amandla ngenxa yokushisa (heat exhaustion) — ukujuluka okukhulu; isikhumba esibandayo, esiphaphathekile, esimanzi; ukushaya kwenhliziyo okusheshayo, okubuthakathaka; isicanucanu, ukuqina kwemisipha, ukukhathala, isiyezi, ikhanda elibuhlungu, ukuquleka. Ukwelashwa: misa, hamba uye emthunzini noma endaweni epholile kunazo zonke ongayithola, khulula izimpahla, beka izindwangu ezimanzi ezipholile esikhumbeni, futhi unike ukuphuza kancane amanzi. Uma isiguli sihlanza, siba sibi kakhulu, noma singathuthuki ngokucacile phakathi kwehora, thola usizo lwangempela lwezokwelapha
• I-heat stroke — lena ebulalayo: izinga lokushisa lomzimba lifika noma lidlula ku-103 °F (39.4 °C); isikhumba esishisayo, esibomvu, esomile noma esimanzi; ukushaya kwenhliziyo okusheshayo nokunamandla; ikhanda elibuhlungu, ukudideka, ukuquleka. Ukwelashwa: shayela u-911 ngokushesha ngangokunokwenzeka — lesi yisimo esiphuthumayo sezokwelapha. Hambisa isiguli emthunzini bese usipholisa ngokushesha nganoma yimaphi amanzi onawo — manisa umzimba wonke bese uwuphephetha; ngisho namanzi obungeke uwaphuze, athululelwe kumuntu, ayapholisa. Ungalokothi unike isiguli lutho oluzophuza.

Ukudideka yiwona umugqa ohlukanisa lezi ezimbili. Umuntu oshisayo oqala ukukhuluma izinto ezingacacile uyisiguli se-heat stroke kuze kube yilapho kufakazelwa ngenye indlela.

🧊 Izifo zokubanda nokusha

I-hypothermia (izimpawu ze-CDC): kubantu abadala — ukuthuthumela, ukukhathala, ukudideka, izandla ezingakhululeki, ukulahlekelwa inkumbulo, ukukhuluma okungacacile, ukozela. Izinga lokushisa lomzimba elingaphansi kuka-95 °F (35 °C) liyisimo esiphuthumayo; nesigaba sokugcina esithule lapho ukuthuthumela kuyeka naso sinjalo. Ukwelashwa: faka isiguli endaweni evikelekile, khumula izimpahla ezimanzi, uzimisele ngezingqimba ezomile nezingubo, bese ufudumeza phakathi komzimba — isifuba, intamo, ikhanda, nendawo yangasese. Hambisa ngokuthambile; inhliziyo ebandayo iyinhliziyo ecasuka kalula.

I-frostbite: isikhumba siba mhlophe noma sibe mpunga-ophuzi, sizwakale siqinile noma sinjengewax, futhi silahlekelwa umuzwa — isiguli ngokuvamile asiqapheli kuze kube yilapho omunye umuntu esibona. Ukwelashwa: amanzi afudumele — angashisi — noma ukushisa komzimba (iminwe eqandisiwe ngaphansi kwamakhwapha kuyindlela yakudala). Ungalokothi usebenzise isitofu, umlilo, noma i-heating pad: isikhumba esingenamuzwa siyasha ngaphandle kokuzwa. Ungahamba ngezinyawo ezine-frostbite uma kukhona enye indlela.

Ukusha (indlela yeRed Cross): misa ukusha kuqala, bese upholisa ngamanzi apholile agelezayo imizuzu okungenani eyishumi — eyishumi nanhlanu kuya kwamashumi amabili kungcono; susa izimpahla nobucwebe phezu kokusha ngenkathi upholisa; bese umboza ngokukhululekile ngendwangu ehlanzekile, eyinyumba. Ungagcobi ibhotela, ungagcobi amafutha, ungasebenzisi iqhwa. Ukusha okukhulu kunesandla sesiguli, noma ebusweni, ezandleni, noma emalungeni, kusho ukufuna usizo ngokushesha.

🛡️ Ukuphepha Kuqala

Ikhithi inendaba kuphela lapho ikhona. Ikhithi engcono kakhulu emotweni ayisizi lutho umuntu imoto emshiyile. Ingqikithi yaleli khithi ihamba nawe — ephaketheni, ebhande, entanyeni — emkhunjini, emzileni, nalapho ushiya indiza. Ukuba kuwe, yilokho kuphela okuyikho.

Izindlela ezimbili zayo yonke into ebalulekile. Ikakhulukazi umlilo: imentshisi kanye nethuluzi lokulaywa kanye nelensi, ngamagremu ambalwa esewonke. Lapho indlela eyodwa ivuza, eyodwa iyalingana noziro.

Yazi ikhithi yakho uvale amehlo. Yivule ekhaya. Sebenzisa yonke into etafuleni lasekhishini. Buyisa noma yini oyibolekayo kuyo ngalo lolo suku. Ikhithi yikho nje amakhono osuvele uwazilolonge, afakwe esikhwameni.

🧰 Ikhithi, eyakhiwe ngemisebenzi eyenzayo

Yakhe ngephethini yeSahluko 1 — ithuluzi elilodwa elithembekileyo lomsebenzi ngamunye.

• Indawo yokucasha — ingubo ephuthumayo eqinile noma itarpaulin encane, kanye nentambo yokuyibopha; isikhwama sepulasitiki esikhulu, esiqinile singaba yisikhwama sokucasha somuntu oyedwa uma kuphoqelelwa
• Amanzi — inkomishi noma ibhodlela lensimbi elingabila amanzi, kanye namaphilisi okuhlanza; isitsha siyithuluzi, amaphilisi awusizo lwaso
• Umlilo — imentshisi engangeni manzi esikhwameni esingangenisi manzi, i-lighter, induku ye-magnesium noma i-flint nensimbi, kanye nesihlakala esomile esiboshwe esilaywa ngokushaya okukodwa
• Amasignali — isibuko sangempela sesignali, impempe ekhalayo, nethoshi elincane; ezintathu ndawonye zinesisindo esingaphansi kwefoni yakho
• Usizo lokuqala — izindwangu zokumboza nebhandeji elicindezelayo, itheyiphu, imithi yakho, nanoma yikuphi ukuqeqeshwa okuthole ngokwethembeka
• Ukudla — ummese omncane ogoqekayo, umugqa wokudoba namahhuku ambalwa amancane ebhokisini elincane, kanye nokudla okunamandla aphezulu kosuku olulodwa othembela ukuthi awusoze wakudla
• Isiqondiso — ikhampasi oyaziyo ukuyisebenzisa, futhi — ezindaweni ezibandayo — izinto incwadi uqobo eyengeza: izibuko ezimnyama zokuvimbela ukungaboni kweqhwa, ukudla okuphuthumayo okunamafutha amaningi, nesiteji saphansi esingangenisi manzi

🪜 Izingqimba ezintathu, umkhuba owodwa

Kuwe: ummese, umlilo, impempe, isibuko, ingubo, intambo — ingqikithi engalokothi ihlukane nawe. Ebhakeni lakho: ikhithi ephelele kakhulu — izinto zokuhlanza amanzi, usizo lokuqala lwangempela, ithoshi lesibili, ukudla okwengeziwe, ungqimba lwezimpahla. Emotweni, emkhunjini, noma ekhaya: ungqimba olunempilo — izingubo, amanzi, ukudla kwezinsuku ezimbalwa, amathuluzi — ngokuphuka okungafanele neze kuphoqe ukuba ushiye.

Futhi umkhuba ogcina zonke izingqimba ezintathu ziphila yilokhu: bheka isibhakabhaka, isibikezelo, nomhlaba ongaphambili ngaphambi kokuhamba — ngoba ikhono lokusinda elingcono kakhulu elirekhodiwe ukuqaphela inkinga ngenkathi isencane ngokwanele ukuba ungayizungeza. Umuntu oqondayo esiqondisweni sakudala ubona ingozi isondela — futhi ngosuku lwengozi, akekho lapho.
