None String updated in the repository Trail Sense Trail Sense User Guide Cantonese (Traditional Han script)	English <!-- K: weather, condition --> <!-- S: Know the weather forecast. --> This chapter covers how to prepare for different types of weather and how to forecast it. ## Be prepared <!-- K: prepare, gear, knowledge, skill, forecast, clothes, shelter, poncho, sunglasses, barometer, thermometer --> <!-- S: Bring appropriate clothing and shelter for the weather. Learn how to identify signs of worsening weather. --> ### Gear Necessities: - 7-day weather forecast - Appropriate clothing and shelter for the weather (see the Shelter and Clothing chapter) - Poncho - Sunglasses Optional: - Barometer - Many smartphones have barometers; you can use the Weather tool in Trail Sense to monitor pressure - Thermometer ### Knowledge and skills Start by learning how to do the following: - Read a weather forecast. - Deal with different types of weather. - Identify signs of worsening weather. Once you have mastered these skills, you should learn how to do the following: - Identify signs of improving weather. - Forecast weather based on observations. - Understand your region's climate. - Predict tides. ## Weather <!-- K: storm, precipitation, rain, snow, hail, sleet, temperature, humidity, wind, fog, lightning, sun, smoke, wildfire, uv, uv-index, thunder, thunderstorm --> <!-- S: Take shelter during severe storms. Be prepared for a variety of conditions, such as precipitation, temperature, humidity, and strong wind. --> Weather conditions can change rapidly and significantly impact your outdoor activities. In mountainous regions, take extra precautions when above the treeline, as weather can be more severe and you are more exposed to the elements. ### Precipitation You can generally continue outdoor activities in light precipitation. However, if it starts precipitating heavily, seek shelter. Be aware of the risk of hypothermia, and take steps to stay warm and dry. Be cautious near rivers and streams during heavy rainfall, as they can rise rapidly and become dangerous. Blizzards can lead to whiteout conditions, severely reducing visibility. If caught in a blizzard, seek shelter immediately and stay warm and dry. ### Temperature and humidity In cold weather, dress in layers and wear a hat and gloves to prevent heat loss. Stay dry, as wet clothing can cause you to lose body heat more quickly. In hot weather, stay hydrated and take breaks in the shade. Wear sunscreen and sun-protective clothing to protect yourself from sun exposure. High humidity can make it feel hotter and make cooling off more difficult. Temperature decreases by about 3.5°F (2°C) for every 1,000 feet (305 meters) of elevation gain. ### Wind In cold conditions, wind can make it feel even colder, increasing the risk of hypothermia and frostbite. Dress in layers and wear a hat and gloves to protect yourself from the wind. Be cautious of unstable trees and branches in windy conditions, as they can be hazardous. In desert environments, wind can cause sandstorms, which reduce visibility and make breathing difficult. Seek shelter during a sandstorm and protect your eyes and mouth with a bandana or cloth. Prevailing winds are winds that blow consistently in one direction over time. While local geography and bodies of water can affect wind patterns, general patterns are as follows: - 60° N to 90° N: Winds generally blow from the east. - 30° N to 60° N: Winds generally blow from the west. - 0° to 30° N: Winds generally blow from the northeast. - 0° to 30° S: Winds generally blow from the southeast. - 30° S to 60° S: Winds generally blow from the west. - 60° S to 90° S: Winds generally blow from the east. ### Fog Fog reduces visibility, making navigation difficult. If hiking in fog, stay on marked trails and use a map, compass, or GPS to navigate. Watch your footing carefully. ### Lightning If caught outdoors during a thunderstorm, seek shelter immediately. Avoid tall trees and bodies of water, but get out of open areas. If you're in an open area, crouch down on the balls of your feet and cover your ears to reduce the risk of lightning strikes. If you feel your hair stand on end or hear a crackling noise, you are in danger of being struck by lightning. You can estimate how far away a thunderstorm is by counting the seconds between a flash of lightning and the sound of thunder. Divide the number of seconds by 5 to get the distance in miles. One mile is about 1.6 kilometers. Any storm within 6 miles (10 kilometers) is a threat. ### Sun On days with a high UV index, wear sunscreen and sun-protective clothing. In hot climates, stay hydrated and take breaks in the shade. ### Smoke Wildfires can cause smoke that travels long distances. Avoid outdoor activities on days with poor air quality if possible. ## Climate <!-- K: climate, average --> <!-- S: The climate of your region can indicate what weather is common for the time of year. --> The climate of a region refers to its average weather conditions over time. Understanding the climate helps you prepare for the typical weather you'll encounter. Key factors to consider when thinking about climate include: - Daily high and low temperatures - Precipitation amounts - Humidity levels - Wind patterns ## Forecasting <!-- K: forecast, predict, signs, worsen, improve, cloud, cumulus, cirrus, cumulonimbus, altocumulus, stratus, altostratus, clear, cirrostratus, nimbostratus, cirrocumulus --> <!-- S: Signs of worsening weather include increasing cloud cover, darkening skies, strong wind, and sudden drops in temperature. --> You can learn to forecast weather by observing the signs around you. The more signs you notice, the more accurate your forecast will be. ### Signs of worsening weather - Cloud cover increases - Clouds start growing vertically (into an anvil shape) - This indicates a thunderstorm - Clouds darken - Clouds move quickly - Clouds lower - Wind speed increases - Temperature suddenly drops - Barometric pressure drops - Faster drops indicate more severe weather - Wind direction changes, opposite the prevailing wind - Animals become quiet - Humidity increases - You see lightning or hear thunder - You smell rain (called petrichor) ### Signs of improving weather - Cloud cover decreases - Wind speed decreases - Temperature rises - Barometric pressure rises - Wind direction changes to match the prevailing wind - Animals become active - Humidity decreases ### Clouds Identifying the type of cloud can help to forecast the weather. Below are some common cloud types. Cumulus Low puffy clouds that look like cotton balls. They are spaced out and are typically white with darker patches below. Usually indicates fair weather, but if it is growing taller, then precipitation or a thunderstorm could be possible in the next few hours. ![](file:///android_asset/survival_guide/cumulus.webp) Cumulonimbus Low puffy clouds that are very tall. They typically have an anvil shape and are dark. May indicate a thunderstorm in a few minutes. ![](file:///android_asset/survival_guide/cumulonimbus.webp) Cirrus High wispy clouds that look like tufts of white hair. May indicate precipitation in the next 12 to 24 hours. ![](file:///android_asset/survival_guide/cirrus.webp) Altocumulus Mid level puffy clouds that look like cotton balls. They are typically white with darker patches below and can be spaced out or sheet-like. May indicate precipitation or a thunderstorm in the next 12 hours. ![](file:///android_asset/survival_guide/altocumulus.webp) ## Tides <!-- K: tide, water, coast, rise, fall, moon, ocean, sea, semidiurnal, diurnal, mixed --> <!-- S: Most places have two high tides and two low tides each day. Check tide tables before heading to the coast. --> Tides are the rise and fall of sea levels caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun. Tides can affect outdoor activities, especially near the coast. A receding tide can lead to rip currents, which are dangerous for swimmers. Check the tide tables before heading to the coast. Tide tables can be found online or in local newspapers. ![](file:///android_asset/survival_guide/tides.webp) [Image source](https://oceanservice.noaa.gov/education/tutorial_tides/tides07_cycles.html#1) ### Semidiurnal tides Semidiurnal tides have two high tides and two low tides each day. If you know the time of high tide, the next low tide will be about 6 hours later, and the following high tide will be about 6 hours after that. Mixed tides Mixed tides are a type of semidiurnal tide, but the heights of the high and/or low tides vary throughout the day. ### Diurnal tides Diurnal tides have one high tide and one low tide each day. If you know the time of high tide, the next low tide will be about 12 hours later, and the next high tide will be about 12 hours after that. ## Night <!-- K: night, dark, light, moon, stars, flashlight --> <!-- S: Be aware of when the sun will set to avoid being caught in the dark. Use a flashlight to navigate at night. --> You can estimate the time until sunset by holding your hand horizontally with your fingers together and counting the number of finger widths between the sun and the horizon. Each finger width represents roughly 15 minutes. On nights with a nearly full moon, you can use the moonlight to help navigate. Navigating in the dark is not recommended, but if necessary, use a flashlight or headlamp to light your way.

Key factors to consider when thinking about climate include: - Daily high and low temperatures - Precipitation amounts - Humidity levels - Wind patterns ## Forecasting <!-- K: forecast, predict, signs, worsen, improve, cloud, cumulus, cirrus, cumulonimbus, altocumulus, stratus, altostratus, clear, cirrostratus, nimbostratus, cirrocumulus --> <!-- S: Signs of worsening weather include increasing cloud cover, darkening skies, strong wind, and sudden drops in temperature. --> You can learn to forecast weather by observing the signs around you. The more signs you notice, the more accurate your forecast will be. ### Signs of worsening weather - Cloud cover increases - Clouds start growing vertically (into an anvil shape) - This indicates a thunderstorm - Clouds darken - Clouds move quickly - Clouds lower - Wind speed increases - Temperature suddenly drops - Barometric pressure drops - Faster drops indicate more severe weather - Wind direction changes, opposite the prevailing wind - Animals become quiet - Humidity increases - You see lightning or hear thunder - You smell rain (called petrichor) ### Signs of improving weather - Cloud cover decreases - Wind speed decreases - Temperature rises - Barometric pressure rises - Wind direction changes to match the prevailing wind - Animals become active - Humidity decreases ### Clouds Identifying the type of cloud can help to forecast the weather. Below are some common cloud types. Cumulus Low puffy clouds that look like cotton balls. They are spaced out and are typically white with darker patches below. Usually indicates fair weather, but if it is growing taller, then precipitation or a thunderstorm could be possible in the next few hours. ![](file:///android_asset/survival_guide/cumulus.webp) ## Tides <!-- K: tide, water, coast, rise, fall, moon, ocean, sea, semidiurnal, diurnal, mixed --> <!-- S: Most places have two high tides and two low tides each day. Check tide tables before heading to the coast. --> Tides are the rise and fall of sea levels caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun. Tides can affect outdoor activities, especially near the coast. A receding tide can lead to rip currents, which are dangerous for swimmers. Check the tide tables before heading to the coast. Tide tables can be found online or in local newspapers. ![](file:///android_asset/survival_guide/tides.webp) [Image source](https://oceanservice.noaa.gov/education/tutorial_tides/tides07_cycles.html#1) ### Semidiurnal tides Semidiurnal tides have two high tides and two low tides each day. If you know the time of high tide, the next low tide will be about 6 hours later, and the following high tide will be about 6 hours after that. Mixed tides Mixed tides are a type of semidiurnal tide, but the heights of the high and/or low tides vary throughout the day. ### Diurnal tides Diurnal tides have one high tide and one low tide each day. If you know the time of high tide, the next low tide will be about 12 hours later, and the next high tide will be about 12 hours after that. ## Night <!-- K: night, dark, light, moon, stars, flashlight --> <!-- S: Be aware of when the sun will set to avoid being caught in the dark. Use a flashlight to navigate at night. --> You can estimate the time until sunset by holding your hand horizontally with your fingers together and counting the number of finger widths between the sun and the horizon. Each finger width represents roughly 15 minutes. On nights with a nearly full moon, you can use the moonlight to help navigate. Navigating in the dark is not recommended, but if necessary, use a flashlight or headlamp to light your way.

In many cases, the plan may be to stay where you are and wait for help. --> If you find yourself in a survival situation, don't panic and follow these steps. ### Stop The first and most important thing to do when lost is to stop moving. - If not in immediate danger, stop moving. - Calm down with deep breaths if panicking. ### Think Take a moment to think about your situation. Answer the following questions: - What are your immediate needs? - What resources do you have available? - Did you tell someone your plans before you left? If so, when are they expecting you back? - Which way did you come from? ### Observe Next, observe your surroundings and assess your situation: - Check for any potential hazards or resources that could help you. - Check your smartphone or GPS receiver for your last known location. - Check your cell phone for a signal. - Listen for people or vehicles. ### Plan Make a plan for your next steps. Here's some general advice: - If it is close to dark, set up a shelter and maybe a fire. - If you are injured, treat your injuries. - If you are lost, try to determine your location using a map or GPS. - If it is hot, find shade and water. - If it is cold, get warm through insulation, shelter, and fire. - If the weather is bad, take shelter. - Tie a bright piece of clothing to a nearby tree and search the nearby area for signs of a trail. Keep the marker in sight at all times. You may also use a GPS receiver to return to your starting point; just ensure the batteries are charged. - If you are lost, it is best to stay put and wait for help. Try to signal for help and make yourself visible to rescuers. ### Act Once you have a plan, act on it. If at any point you feel unsafe, nervous, or unsure, stop and reassess your situation. ## Planning a trip <!-- K: plan, trip --> <!-- S: Research the terrain, weather, and wildlife before going out. Plan a route on a map and bring the necessary supplies. Share this plan with someone you trust. --> 1. Research the terrain, weather conditions, wildlife, and plants you might encounter. Also, look into local regulations and any permits you may need. 2. Using an up-to-date map, plan your route. Be sure to consider trail conditions and alternate routes. 3. Pack the necessary gear and supplies. See the "Be prepared" section for a list of essential items. Check all your gear before you leave. 4. Check the weather forecast and adjust your plans accordingly. 5. Share your itinerary with a trusted person. Include your planned route, expected return time, and check-in times. ## Signaling for help <!-- K: signal, help, contact, call, text, phone, whistle, mirror, smoke, flare, flashlight, ground-to-air --> <!-- S: Try your cell phone, it may be able to make emergency calls. Otherwise, use a whistle, signal mirror, smoke, flares, flashlight, or ground-to-air signals to attract attention. --> ### Cell phone Many phones can call emergency services even without a signal from your carrier. If you can't make a call, try sending a text message. Check your phone periodically to see if you have a signal, but otherwise keep it off or in airplane mode to conserve battery. You may get a better signal by climbing to higher ground or moving to an open area. ### Whistle Three short blasts are the universal signal for help. You may want to cover your ears when using the whistle at full volume. ### Signal mirror Hold the mirror with one hand and extend your other arm in front of you with your fingers in a V-shape. Reflect sunlight onto your fingers and slowly move the mirror to direct the reflected light toward potential rescuers or aircraft. ### Smoke Smoke can attract attention during the day. You can create a lot of smoke by burning green vegetation. Be sure to do this safely. ### Flares Flares are best seen at night or in low-visibility conditions. Follow the instructions on the flare packaging and be aware of any legal restrictions on their use. ### Flashlight At night, a flashlight can be used to signal for help. Use the international distress signal, SOS, which is three short flashes, three long flashes, and three short flashes. If you don't remember the SOS signal, flash the light repeatedly in groups of three. Aim it in the direction of aircraft or other potential rescuers. ### Ground-to-air signals Ground-to-air signals are large markers you create on the ground to communicate with aircraft. Use rocks, logs, or other materials to create a large "V" (means you require assistance) or an "X" (means you require medical assistance). Use contrasting or artificial colors to make the signal more visible. ## Disclaimer This guide is provided for informational purposes only, and neither the author, publisher, or any contributors guarantee its accuracy or suitability for any purpose.
