• Determine your outdoor logistic plan.

According to Pfeiffer (2018), “Traveling as a
group can mean inside jokes, great stories,
learning more about how to travel, and plenty of
laughs. Unfortunately, it usually also involves
more precise planning and a lot of organization,
which can lead to tension, indecisiveness, and
bad planning.”

 HOW DO YOU
PREPARE FOR A
HIKE?
Hiking is going on an extended walk for the purpose
of pleasure and exercise. Pleasure includes having
close encounter with nature, enjoying the beauty of
the environment, smelling the natural aroma of
flowers and trees, and being one with Mother Nature.
Exercise,on the other hand, pertains to the fitness
benefits that we get from the activity.”
ORIENTEERIN
G
Orienteering is an outdoor navigational recreational
activity using especially drawn and detailed maps. It
requires navigational skills to navigate from point to
point normally moving at a speed. An orienteering
course consists of a series of control points that have
to be located in order in the shortest possible time.”
1. Conceptual aspects – Since it is a navigational activity,
it enhances your decision-making skills about map
interpretations and using a compass.

2. Physical Aspect – Orienteering is a running sport so it

develops your cardiovascular endurance and general
fitness. Speed, endurance, and strength are essential
components necessary to successfully participate in the
game.
3. Personal aspects – Since you are responsible for making
decisions in this activity, you develop your self-confidence
and reliance.

4. Social Aspects – You will learn to work cohesively with

one another

5. Environmental aspect – It creates an avenue for you to

appreciate your renvironment.”
Furthermore, the same authors introduced ”the fundamental skill in
orienteering is orientating the map or set the map”. In moving the
map, you have to:

• Find your approximate location on the map.

• Recognize the pattern of features on the ground as being the same
as the pattern on the map.
• Always hold the map so that you are looking along the route with
the map matching the ground.
• The map is said to be oriented if the features on the map are in
proper relation to the actual features in the field.
“Map is a picture or representation of the earth’s surface. It
includes a compass rose that shows directions. Cardinal
directions are the four base parts on a compass. The top point
is north and the point at the bottom is south. The side points
are called east and west. The points in between the cardinal
directions are called intermediate directions which include
northwest, northeast, southwest, and southeast”.
