Appreciate Life With Adventure

There was one said - said, that those who love adventure in the wild is people - people who love death. Really? Actually idioms wrong, because that's who appreciates life adventure. There is a desire to give meaning and value in life. And it's true if a philosophy says: "In the middle of the jungle and in the wild, I feel like a man again"
Adventurer who perished on the mountain (other outdoor activities), not the people who love death. His death was in fact no different from the death of another person who was hit by a car on a highway or killed robber. "To be sure, they killed it in an attempt to appreciate life." Life should be more than modest "wrote Budi Laksmono killed rolled Alas River rapids, Aceh, 1985.For the layman, gait adventurer like mountain climbers always invite the cliched question: what's going there?. Simple question, but that were often confusing, or even invite resentment. F George Mallory, the famous British mountaineers, maybe just annoyed enough when answering: Because it is there, because the mountains there!, Mallory with a friend, disappeared in the tips of Everest in 1924.Full Flat Various answers may emerge, Soe Hoek Gie, cofounder Mapala UI, wrote in a poem: "I Love You Pangrango, Because I love Courage Living". For these youth, the courage to live it must be paid with his life. Soe Hok Gie was killed with a friend Idhan Lubis, choking poisonous gas dilereng Mahameru cone, Mount Semeru, December 16, 1969, dipelukkan a friend, Herman O Lantang.Active youth day - the day involved in the matter - a matter complicated political world may be regarded as an arena of adventure in the mountains to train the courage to face life. Perhaps also as his escape from the world that they do in the city. Herman O Lantang convinced that his friend had died with a smile dibibir. "He dies amid companions - companions in the wild, away from the dirty political intrigue" he said.Motivation activities in the outdoors, especially climbing Mount indeed various kinds. Humans have a need for psychological as well as needs - other needs: The need for new experiences, need for achievement, and need to be recognized by the community and nation. Climbing the mountain is one of the means to meet the needs - needs that, consciously or not. All this is legitimate, of course.Actually, the most fundamental of all the motivation it is curious that the soul of every human being. Curiosity is a basic activity of the mountain climbing and other adventures. Desire - the equivalent of curiosity curiosity of a child, and this is what encourages the courage and fortitude to face the challenges of nature. But what exactly is the courage and fortitude it for Mountain Climbers?Peter Boardman, a British mountain climber, becomes saturated with praise - praise that insistent - insistently, after reaching the summit of Mount Everest via the difficult West Wall in 1975. Peter Boardman who then lost in the Northeast Ridge of Everest in 1982 to write the meaning of courage and perseverance for him.

"It takes more courage to face life - the day the truth is more cruel than the real dangers of climbing. Fortitude takes more to work in the city rather than climb a high mountain."Courage and perseverance are needed when climbing a mountain just a small part of our lives. The danger that threatens much more there in the world civilization, in urban rather than mountains, forests, in caves, and anywhere in the open. In the world of modern civilization, in the city, so many problems that require courage and perseverance to complete. In the mountains, the problems we face only one: "How to achieve a peak, then down again safely."




George F. Mallory, Soe Hoek Gie, Idhan Dhanvantari Lubis, Norman Edwin, Didiek Samsu, Peter Boardman, Budi Laksmono, and much more adventurous and other wilderness explorer who died in his mission, they are all highly appreciate LIFE!"COURAGE TO FACE LIFE IS A PROBLEM THAT QUESTION MARK, WITHOUT OUR BIDDING. RECEIVED AND FACE" (Soe Hoek Gie)

The Ability To Possess The Wild Activists

 

The holidays are typically used by many members of nature lovers to climb the mountain. But several times we see or hear the misfortune suffered by mountain climbers. Many disasters befell those mountain climbers in particular due to missing or lost until the cause of death. Why did it happen?
As mountaineering activities in the wild need to be aware well as high-risk activities. Because there is a change adjustment to the environment that we shall come. Of urban life in a comfortable and safe with all the trimmings, to the extreme environmental conditions.


Usually we live in a nice house, cool, protected from the hot sun, cold and rainy night and sleep on a soft bed with a warm blanket. Not to mention the fast food and beverages are available from the servants at home and at hawker. All that would change dramatically if we climb the mountain.
Supplies during the climb we carry in a backpack heavy equipment, including equipment and other woods. Tent for shelter should be established to avoid the cold temperatures at altitude as well as wind and rain - when it comes to arriving - arrived. Food and beverages must also be processed first before we enjoy it.
Not to mention the environmental conditions on the way. Dense forest and the road uphill and not infrequently we have to pass through the outskirts of the cliff with a deep ravine. With a situation like that obviously necessary preparation and planning before we climb the mountain in comfort.
An expert on outdoor education, Colin Mortlock, said that the activist nature must have some ability in berkegiatan. That ability is the technical capability associated with rhythm and balance of movement and efficient use of equipment. For example, climbers must understand the rhythm of walking while doing the climb, maintain balance on the steep and rugged terrain while carrying heavy loads as well as understand the advantages and disadvantages of supplies and equipment were taken and understand how to use it.
Then, the ability of fitness that includes specific fitness required for certain activities, cardiovascular fitness and circulation, as well as conditioning the body's ability to pressure the natural environment.
Next, the ability of humanity. This concerns the development of positive attitudes in all aspects to improve. This includes determination / willingness, confidence, patience, concentration, self analysis, self-reliance, and ability to lead and be led.




A climber should be able to understand the situation himself physically and mentally so that he can perform self-control during the ascent, especially if done in a group, he should be able to put themselves as members of the group and work together as a team.
No less important is the ability of environmental understanding. The development of awareness of the dangers of the specific environment. Insights on the climate and terrain of activities must have a climber. He must understand the influence of environmental conditions on him and his influence on the environmental conditions which he attended.
The four aspects of these abilities must be possessed by a climber before he made the climb. Because you will face is not only a challenging experience with the natural beauty he saw up close, but also a very high risk, a danger that could threaten safety.

Merapi activity is monitored from the seismograph, constantly tends to fall, even the normally quiet stable, although a few times sometimes occur avalanches of material. Visually Merapi is still shrouded in fog, so that no one can can see the 'how big eruption, where the direction of the hot cloud, etc.'. Conditions officials began quietly, even several times seen joking. Journalists and media still continues to standby at the monitoring center, and several follow up to the Ground.

Why You Should Travelling to Indonesia

Why should travel in Indonesia? The answer is simple: Why not? Many plausible reasons why we should choose a tour in Indonesia first before we select travel outside Indonesia. Begin to identify the nature of this country first and then fall in love, surely you will be aware, is not going to lose to know Indonesia and nature tourism.


EVERYTHING THEREWhat type of tour you are looking for? Travel ocean, mountains, culture, shopping, or flora and fauna? All there is in Indonesia. Sea we have no doubt. The underwater world of Raja Ampat, Wakatobi, Komodo and Bunaken is famous around the world.
Type of beach sand what you looking for? Indonesia has clean white sand as fine as flour also pink grained - grain. For lovers of mountains, Indonesia is the country with the most volcanoes in the world. There are many national parks for fans of flora and fauna.
With a variety of tribes, ethnicities, religions and beliefs, Indonesia had a diversity of cultures. Jakarta, a city with the largest shopping center, suitable for a hobby shop. The historic old building, there is also.


FRIENDLYMany people said that Indonesia is no longer as friendly as people first. But I believe the Indonesian nation remains one of the nation with the highest level of hospitality in the world. Even in big cities like Jakarta, which supposedly individualist society, the Jakarta far more friendly than other countries. If you get lost in the wilds of tangling Jakarta, should not hesitate to ask. Definitely helped. In other countries? Not necessarily.
CHEAPExpensive / cheap is relative. If you live in Medan, for example, trips to the eastern Indonesia region is certainly more expensive than in neighboring countries. But do not forget, there is no way prices. Often times you are paying is comparable with that obtained.
Seeing the dragons, one - the only remaining ancient animals, and leyeh-leyeh on pink sandy beaches and boasts far more fun than the pictures taken in front of the twin towers in the park or playing amusement. Man's work will not be able to beat the great work of God's creation, is not it?
To be cheap, go to an area close to where you live, such as neighboring provinces. You can also book tickets cheap flight promotions from far - far today.
EASY
What is meant here is not simply about reaching destination - a tourist destination in Indonesia, it is about language and culture. To the area wherever you go in Indonesia, of course you already can predict abstinence in the area. The more remote an area, usually the more powerful ancestral lands. Surely you can think - wondered where you can wear a tank top, and which ones are not. Because we are compatriots, body language and expressions more readable so that the possibility of misunderstanding can be minimized.
PrestigeIndonesia one of the reasons people travel abroad is because of prestige. In fact, less prestigious what if you've explored all of Indonesia? Indonesia is very ironic if the person is more often travel in other countries but do not know how beautiful the country itself. Cook the foreigners are more familiar beauty of our country? Prestige, ah!
LIFE IMPROVEMENTIf you are a good economic situation - both alone and feel no matter the economic conditions of the country, you better think again. Country's economic conditions economic conditions always affect the population.
With a tour in their own country, we help improve the economic condition of our country whose effects will also improve our lives. Why is that? Therefore, spending money in their own country will make money does not "run away" to foreign countries. Well, supposing the money from the pockets of the bag right moved to the left, do not move into the pockets of others. If the nation's economy improves, we also are lucky, is not it?
