In addition to the sight of people on the mountain, the hiking boom has broken out, and a lot of hiking information has also emerged on the Internet.

"Admin boss (code name)", the administrator of the Facebook page "Shanye News Library", found that discussions in online hiking groups have been more active in the past year than before. Many newcomers have joined the discussion and sometimes spread wrong information.

The Admin boss also saw that some YouTubers and KOLs "do not know what to do". He urged all media to ensure that the content of the hiking is correct and not to introduce hiking routes in the way of "reporting the good and not the worry".

After the rise and popularization of Facebook, it became more and more common for the Admin boss to meet strange netizens hiking in the mountains. He said: "In recent years, I have seen a lot of novice netizens who want to hike in the mountains, so they will immediately find a Facebook hiking group to join. , And then asked "Is there a hiking activity on listening day", "Some people want to improvise hiking", "I thought of suicide cliff but have never been, please lead", but I don't have the ability to take care of my own safety and follow the team, yes It's very dangerous, because the quality of self-organized hiking teams on the Internet is poor, so you have to take care of your own safety." He suggested that novices first find friends who have met in reality and have hiking experience.

After Facebook became popular, more and more mountain friends made appointments on the Internet.

Don't trust netizens when considering routes

In addition to asking netizens to hike mountains, many netizens will ask on Facebook groups whether a certain mountain or a certain route is difficult. For example, someone will ask: "I have traveled this mountain, can I go to that mountain in this state?" Some enthusiastic netizens will directly answer "Yes" or "No".

The boss of Admin reminded that the answer to this kind of online questioning route is not accurate and cannot be fully believed. He questioned: "Only one question can be used to "check the pulse online", knowing a person’s energy status, hiking experience, Resilience?"

He continued: "There are many online hiking groups. Netizens have different hiking experiences, but not all of them are experienced hikers. They may only respond with the successful process and experience in the past. The process and experience may not be suitable for everyone, especially the "improvised mountain friends", and answering wrong questions will have the opportunity to put the other party in danger, so be careful when seeking answers online."

Under the epidemic situation, the flow of people on the mountain has risen sharply, and the hiking trails have become wider and wider by tourists.

The Admin boss found that the discussions in the online hiking group in the past year have been more enthusiastic than before, and more novices have participated. The content of the discussion may not be correct.

He said: "Since many of the comments in response were sent by novices and netizens with insufficient relevant knowledge, they were full of fallacies. Bad coins drive out good coins. Because novices’ responses are recognized by novices, the content of the responses may not be correct, but they affect each other. The veterans responded that the content was correct, but they did not please the novices, so novices’ misconceptions spread. I hope this situation will change in the future.”

He gave an example, "Recently, some netizens discussed that someone erected a new rope on a certain dangerous line, and many netizens liked it, but these ropes are potentially dangerous. For example, I don’t know if there is any error in erecting the rope. If the fixing point is not strong enough, Misuse of ropes, improper use of mountain friends, aging of ropes and lack of maintenance can all have the chance of accidents. For those with insufficient ability, ropes on the danger line seem to reduce the difficulty. On the surface, it is a kind of morality. In essence, they use ropes to play "Russian Wheels" Disc" to see which user will break the cord during use."

There are many such ropes set by hikers on the mountain, but they are usually not maintained by anyone. They are called "Russian Roulette" by the Admin boss.

Hiking KOL is good and bad

In the past year, under the epidemic situation, many industries have been suspended and overseas travel has been suspended, and hiking has become a minority recreational activity for the citizens.

At the same time, the number of YouTubers and KOLs in the mountains has sprung up, and even some media that did not introduce the mountains have suddenly joined this trend of hiking.

Hiking information is flooded, but the quality is uneven. The Admin boss sighed: "There are many novice hikers. The content is wrong. It is easy to distinguish from the perspective of the veterans. Some KOLs have real materials, but they don’t know what they are. , Suddenly become experts, but more sensationalists, such as taking a certain popular route to shoot a movie, there are beautiful scenes, "selling meat", talking about a bunch of specious content can be tens of thousands of clicks, which is by no means a good thing. This situation also occurs in TV programs or newspapers.

"

The Facebook page "Yanye·News Bank" has been following the accidents and trends of hiking in Hong Kong, with more than 7,000 likes.

The boss of Admin said that some YouTubers focus on click-through rate, and the content focuses on beautiful scenery and check-in positions, while ignoring route difficulty and safety precautions.

He mentioned some words commonly used in the media, "Instead, they are "easy to do", "2 hours to complete", "super short", "hidden world secret scenery" and "high CP" etc... because these are impromptu mountains. Friends want things, but this practice of reporting the good and not the bad makes it easy for people to ignore safety precautions.”

Some hiking and camping videos deliver error messages

The boss of Admin has also seen some errors in the content of the video, including introducing wrong place names, and even doing acts of destroying the countryside, such as directly lighting the ground without a campfire, picking plants indiscriminately, falling peels around, breaking into restricted areas or private areas, and climbing roof.

He sighed: "Will pass the wrong message to the audience, but you are not responsible for making mistakes. If you are found by netizens, you will just delete the film and apologize."

The Admin boss hopes that KOLs will take the hiking content seriously, emphasizing safety rather than checking in beautiful scenery.

In addition, the Admin boss reminds YouTubers and KOLs not to disclose the secret scenery lightly for the sake of click-through rate, and consider the safety of netizens going to the secret scenery before making it public. There are too many people visiting the place to pollute and damage the environment, and also to consider Legal issues, such as whether the place is a private place or restricted area.

The introduction of hiking routes should emphasize safety information

The Admin boss believes that from large media to hundreds of Like KOLs, the content of hiking must be taken seriously, and the first information is correct.

He understands that the title highlighting the beautiful scenery is to attract readers, but he emphasized: "Safety information and tips are so important. Please make it clear that you should not introduce hiking routes in the form of "reporting the good but not the worry"."
