What do you need to prepare for rafting?

Bring more clothes: Drifting will inevitably "get wet", and it is very uncomfortable to change without dry clothes after landing. Don't wear leather shoes when drifting. Flat slippers, plastic sandals and sports shoes are all ok. The weather is bad, the water is cold, and the weather is good. Pay attention to cold protection and sun protection. It is best not to use expensive clothes, shoes and hats for rafting.

Only drinking water is brought on the raft. Don't bring mobile phones, pagers, documents, cash and other things that are afraid of water.

Parents should pay attention: too young children should not drift or swim. The rivers in the mountains are complex and there are rapids and rapids everywhere. It is dangerous for children who are not sensible to walk around the ship.

Drift prevention measures

Don't do dangerous actions when drifting: Generally speaking, the drifting reach is relatively safe. As long as you don't get off the boat at will, fight with each other, and take the initiative to catch floating objects in the water and vegetation and stones on the shore, the rafting raft will not turn over. Once the boat capsizes, it doesn't matter, just hold your breath and be careful not to suffocate, because you are wearing a life jacket;

When the drifting boat passes through the dangerous beach, it is necessary to obey the command of the boatman and not to move casually. It should hold the safety rope tightly, tighten its feet and lean toward the center of the hull.

Pay attention to the arrows and signs along the way when drifting, which can help you find the main waterway and be alert to the falling area in advance.

Please don't bring anything afraid of water because there are many areas falling into the water during the whole process, so as to avoid falling or damage. Friends with glasses, please find a rubber band to wear glasses. You must always wear a life jacket. When you fall into the water, the life jacket will float you up. Even if you can swim, you must always wear it to prevent the boat from capsizing inadvertently, so as to avoid panic and ensure safety. Upright is made of polymer material and has three independent gas tanks, so there will be no air leakage under normal use. Because the stream is not deep, even if there is a problem, you can go ashore in time, blow the whistle for help on your life jacket, look for rescuers and replace the floating boat.

Please pay attention to the arrows and slogans along the way when drifting, which can help you find the main waterway and be alert to the falling water area in advance. When going down the rapids, please keep the balance between the ship and the hull and grab the handrails on the inside of the ship. The latter one will lean back slightly, and the two will ensure the balance of the hull parallel to the river and go down the river.

When the ship is stuck, you can't get up in a hurry. You have to hold the boat steady and find a foothold before you can stand up and ensure that the person will not be washed down by the boat. When you get stuck or run aground in other channels by mistake, please stand up and get off the boat, and then get on the boat when you find it deeper. You can't grind left and right on the boat, because drifting is a challenge to physical strength and courage. Under the premise of ensuring your safety, under normal circumstances, drift guards will not interfere with your control. Before drifting across Tiger Leaping Gorge, please give the bamboo pole to the ambulance personnel and hold the handrail tightly. When you drift across the Tiger Leaping Gorge, the staff will give you the bamboo pole again and continue the next drifting.

What I'm talking about here is what should be paid attention to in general scenic spot drifting. At present, the common rafting in China mainly includes bamboo raft rafting and rubber boat rafting, and there are also some special rafting, such as sheepskin rafting in Shaanxi and Gansu sections of the Yellow River and dragon boat rafting introduced from Tianmu River in Zhejiang Province. The tools used for drifting are different, and the things to pay attention to are of course different. But one thing is the same. Since it is drifting, of course, it is inseparable from water, so try to choose clothes that are simple and easy to dry, but the color should not be too thin or too light, otherwise it will be embarrassing to fall into the water. It is best to choose sandals for shoes, because sports shoes will not dry after soaking in water for a short time, and the skin on the feet will often be swollen. Another thing to remind you is to bring as little as possible expensive and water-afraid things, such as advanced cameras. If you must bring it, you'd better prepare a plastic bag with good sealing in advance. Fortunately, many scenic spots have cloakrooms. You should also pay attention to putting on your life jacket. Although there are many people wearing it, you should wear it for your safety.
