Gear Checks / 装备检查

Starting in June, I will begin checking participants' hiking gear before hikes.

Items that may be checked include:

Failure to bring required day-hike or backpacking essentials may result in a fine of CAD $1 - $5 per missing item.

Payment is not required on the spot. A record may be kept instead.

In some situations, participants may also be denied participation at the parking lot or trailhead if critical gear is missing.

Gear checks typically happen after the warm-up session, and before the group photo.

If a participant is denied participation, I may notify the PNOA board using Garmin Messenger on my iPhone before taking the group photo.

从6月份开始，我会在活动前检查参加者的徒步装备。

检查项目可能包括：

  • 哨子
  • 手机
  • 备用电池
  • 充电宝
  • 登山杖
  • 导航设备及导航能力
  • 对讲机
  • 应急保温毯
  • 登山鞋
  • 熊喷
  • 冰爪

如果未携带日 hiking 或多日 backpacking 所需的重要装备，每缺少一项，可能会被罚款 1 - 5 加元。

无需现场付款，可能会先记账。

如果缺少关键装备，参加者甚至可能在停车场或 trailhead 被拒绝参加活动。

装备检查通常在热身之后、集体照之前进行。

如果有人被拒绝参加活动，我可能会在拍集体照前，通过 iPhone 上的 Garmin Messenger 通知 PNOA board。

Navigation Training / 导航教学

If you do not know how to use MAPS.ME or Gaia GPS for navigation, feel free to contact me and arrange a learning session.

Buying me a cup of coffee is enough.

Possible meeting locations include:

如果您不会使用 MAPS.ME 或 Gaia GPS 来导航，可以约我教学。

您只需要请我喝一杯咖啡即可。

Carpool Pickup Info / 拼车上车地点说明

When filling out the "Departure City & Nearest Cross Streets / 出发城市及附近主要路口" field on the registration form, please be as specific as possible. This helps greatly with organizing efficient carpooling arrangements. Failure to do so takes up a tremendous amount of the event leader's time, and will result in a fine of $5 CAD for each offense.
在报名表填写“出发城市及附近主要路口”一栏时，请尽量填写具体位置，以便更高效地安排拼车。 未按要求填写会导致耗费领队大量的时间和精力，每次违规将被处以 5 加元的罚款。

Good examples of pickup locations include:
清晰、具体的上车/交叉路口地点示例如下：

Providing precise intersections or landmarks like the examples above greatly reduces communication back-and-forth and improves carpooling coordination.
尽量提供类似以上这样清晰、具体的交叉路口或地标，有助于减少沟通成本并提高拼车效率。

Group Culture / 队伍文化

During hikes, you may be invited to:

The goal is to make hikes more fun, memorable, and interactive.
