点评:DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS MAN he doesn’t know anything about hiking, but feels that he knows a lot
I went to tourist information to see if I could get a map, and a little more information about bears. I’m a qualified Mountain Leader whose profession this is, and I had researched the route I wanted back home, was aware it was considered technically difficult, and comfortable with that.
The man was incredibly condescending and it came off as pretty sexist, something I unfortunately have a lot of experience of in the outdoors: older men assuming that because I’m a woman I can’t possibly read a map or risk assess for myself. He repeatedly told me the trail was too difficult for me and said ‘you’d have to walk mountains 100 times. Year to be able to do this trail’. I do.
He then went on to tell me I would definitely get eaten by a bear and die, citing an incident the year before and having done research on the incident myself since, I now realize the claims he was making were very dramatic and overblown. He repeatedly said YOU WILL DIE
We completed the walk, it was absolutely within our limits as expected. We took sensible advice from elsewhere about the risk of bears and had no problems. But this exchange left a bad taste in the mouth and was a bad welcome to Sinaia. My advice to other travelers wanting to stay safe outdoors would be to follow Salvamont guidance and do research online beforehand, in plenty of time so you don’t feel pressured or panicked
翻译:千万别听这个人的话——他对徒步一无所知,却自以为懂很多。
我去了旅游信息中心,想看看能否拿到地图以及更多关于熊的信息。我是一名持证的专业山地向导,事先也研究过我想走的路线,知道这条路线在技术上颇具难度,不过对此我也能够应对。
那个男人态度极其傲慢,给人的感觉相当性别歧视。这是我在户外活动中不幸经常遇到的情形:年长的男性总以为,因为我是个女性,所以肯定看不懂地图,也没法自己评估风险。他反复对我说,这条路线对我来说太难了,还说“你得走100遍这种山路,花上好几年时间才能走完这条路线”。可事实上我能做到。
接着他又断言我肯定会被熊吃掉而死,还引用了前年发生的一起事件作为例子。后来我自己也对该事件做了调查。现在我意识到他所说的话极其夸张且言过其实。他反复宣称“你会死的”。
我们顺利完成了徒步,情况如预期那样完全在我们的能力范围内。我们也听取了其他渠道关于熊群风险的合理建议,全程并未遇到任何问题。但这次对话却让我心里很不舒服,也算是来到锡纳亚时的一个糟糕“开端”吧。对于其他希望在户外旅行时确保安全的旅行者,我的建议是遵循Salvamont的指导,并事先在网上做些调查研究。时间充裕,这样你就不会感到有压力或惊慌。
