Trip Plan

The first thing to do before making trip plan is looking for information. To get the data we can obtain from the literature in the form of books or articles that we need or from people who had to climb on the object we are headed. No one also when requesting information from local residents or anyone who understands the terrain image location will go through during the trip.

Furthermore, make trip plans. Make a detailed plan and detailed, containing about which area to go to, how long the activity lasts, what equipment is needed, the food needs to be taken, the estimated cost of the trip, how to reach the area, as well as the maintenance procedure permits a hike in the area. Then make trip plan carefully and detailed as possible, from the details of time before the event until after the activity. Arrange job sharing with other members of the trip (one group), set meal times, when to rest, and so on.

The point in trip plan, should pay attention to:

Outdoors Trip Guidelines
To plan a trip to the wild must be carefully preparation and drafting. There is a formula commonly used is 4W & 1 H, which stands for is Where, Who, Why, When and How.

Following the application of the formula:

Where (Where), to perform a natural activity we need to know where we will be used.
Who (Who), are you going to do outdoor activities on its own or with a group. example: one group (25 personnel) consists of five full members (the committee) and 20 students TRAINING (participants)
Why (why), this is a fairly lengthy question and the answer can vary.
When (When) the time of execution of the activity, how long? example: February 23, 2005 until February 25, 2005

From questions 4 W, then obtained a description as follows: on 23-25 ​​February 2007 will be held TRAINING, which will be implemented by the five committees and followed 20 students TRAINING. Places used for such TRAINING.
For How [How] is a more comprehensive discussion of the answers to the above questions his review are as follows:

How is the condition of the location
How is the weather there
How permissions
How to get water
How will the committee assignment
How the event will take place
How is the material presented
and many "how?" again (please expand it again)

From the answers to the questions that arise that we can plan a trip in which include details of:

Selection field, taking into account the location basecamp, time sharing, and so on.
Licensing arrangements
The division of tasks the committee
Preparation needs of the event
The need for equipment and supplies
and so forth.

The success of any outdoor activity is also determined by proper planning and supplies. In planning trip gear, there are several things to consider, such as:

Know the type of terrain that will be encountered (forests, wetlands, cliffs, etc.)
Determining the trip destination (exploration, training, research, search and rescue, etc.)
Knowing the length of the trip (eg 3 days, a week, a month, etc.)
Knowing the limitations of the physical ability to carry the load
Noting the special things (eg: certain drugs)

Once you know these things, then we can prepare the appropriate equipment and supplies and complete as possible, but the weight does not exceed one-third of body weight (about 15-20 pounds), despite having the ability to lift weights up to 30 kg.

Of exploration activities, there are several types of trips that are tailored to the terrain, namely:

Mountain climbing trip
Journey cover jungle
The trip down the river, beach and marsh
Trip caves
Cruise trip

For scientific and humanitarian assistance, can also be grouped by type of terrain encountered. From each of these activities, we can group the following equipment:

1. Basic supplies, including:
Supplies on the way / movement
The equipment for the rest
Complimentary food and drink
Toiletry
Personal equipment

2. Specialized equipment, customized with a trip, for example,
Research equipment (cameras, books, etc)
Supplies down the river (boats, paddles, buoys, etc.)
Rock wall climbing equipment (carabiners, rope, chock, etc.)
Caves equipment (helmet, headlamp / flashlight, harness, rubber shoes, etc.)

3. Ancillary equipment
This equipment can be carried or hung evaluation (eg dyes, mosquito nets, gaiter, etc.).

Given the importance of the preparation of equipment in a way, before the start of activities, check-list should be made first. Equipment grouped by type, then check again which need to be taken and no.

When we do trip in groups, so his check-list for team and personal equipment. In a big way and takes a long time, we need to determine what equipment and supplies are brought from home or the point of departure, and any equipment or supplies that can be purchased at the location nearest the destination of our journey.
Equally important is that you will get the points for the calculation of the costs required to perform these activities.

Trip plan ("itinerary") is a list of the sort of activities in a chronological way, complete with supporting information such as location, number of days, activities, accommodation and transportation information, as well as other support matters. Plan your trip is very important both for short or long trips.

In this article we will try to make a simple trip plans in the form of tabulation. The number of day trips to determine how long and detailed plan our trip, but did not rule out the possibility that we could include more detail in a day trip than a week, for example.

Consider the example table below. This table is an example of planning a trip to Europe in two weeks. Perhaps one considers the number of days in each place under less for each location, but we'll just think of it as an example.

Start by creating a table that contains the following columns: date, location, activities, accommodation and transportation. You can add them as needed.

1. In the date column, enter related from the first day until the last day (it's good until the day you come back to the homeland, or starting location).
2. In the location field, enter the location where you are on the date concerned.
3. In the field events, enter your activities. At least this shows your movement from one place to another, or do you stay in that place. If more specific, such as "visit to the Louvre Museum, Paris", then it is better.
4. In the field of accommodation, lodging information you enter. The information here can be as simple as just a name and address, or through telephone number, website, email, until the price. You can also include individuals who could be contacted.
5. In the transport field, enter your mode of transportation. Train, bus, plane, or boat. Taxis, rental cars, tuk-tuk, and others! Only be limited by your imagination. Include information online, websites, phone numbers and links concerned.

For additional columns, you can also include information such as visa requirements and _budget_. For example, visiting a country, need a visa to care for two months beforehand, complete with information. Visiting state B, requiring at least a percentage of nominal or so of the total budget of the trip. You can also include a little information or a link on the site.

Sample itinerary.

From the example above plan, plan a quick trip and detail is quite easy is not it? For the record, detailed here in the sense of covering all the important things about the trip. But you know there are plans on the little details that are not there. Can you guess?

Yes, as written in the previous point, the table above itinerary lacking in specific detail the place or purpose of visit. For example, is the "Visiting the Louvre Museum" on location in France (or elsewhere). More detail is better. But since this is an example, and because the plan each person's journey is unique, this is where imagination and our desires can be satisfied. The key is fun and realistic.
