ED PH MORE P G U A R D DOWN

xposure is not a strict medical term, but in general usage it describes Zierious effects which may result from exposure to a chilling environment. More precisely, it is a form of accidental hypothermia, which is the condition seen when the whole body becomes abnormally cold. For efficient functioning, the vital org8ns of the body must be maintained at a relatively constant temperature (circa 37 C or 98.40F). A marked drop in this temperature loads to mental deterioration and loss of muscular co-ordination, and eventually to unconscious- ness, circulatory and respiratory failure, and death. This dangerous situation is-insidious in onset and therefore it Is paramount to understand the cause and to recegnise the early signs and symptoms of exposure. j The primary causes are these which load to loss of body heat. Cold climatic conditions are basic, especially the triad of high wind, cold and wetness, which leads temaximum chill at body surfaces, Therefore, setting out in extreme •cenditiens, being overtaken by ba& weather and unexpected benightment are all fraught with danger. In these circumstencbs, insufficient, wet, or poor quality clothing, will facilitate the less of heat. In addition, hunger and dehydration, peer psychological stamina, lack of fitness, and exhaustion are important contributing factors to final cellapso. Clearly, however, there is great variation in individual susceptibility, It is said that people with more fatty insulation (e.g. wemon) survive longer. Also, there is evidence to suggest that cooling of the active muscles leads to bce]. wealmess.

The signs of hypothermia in ethers are variable and it is not easy to decide if you have an early case in your party. Hewevor, the following is a probable sequence: Abnormal behaviour (at first aggressive and irrational actions, finally apathy and indifference) Slowing of movements. Slurring of speech. Stumbling. Wealmess. Repbatod falling. Collapse. *11fl11 commenced publication in 1965 A.D., net 1969 A.D., historians tell us. 2.

Although shivering is not prominent in serious casea, it may be seen in early or mild episodes, for it is Imovzn experimentally that shivering stops when the 340 0 central body temperature is below to 35 C, and is replaced by generalised muscular rigidity. After collapse, the situation is grave, for death usually ensues in one to two hours.

Symptoms are also variable and depend on the individual, but may include: less of sensation, muscle cramps, lethargy, poor vision, anxiety and feelings of unreality.

Prevention is better than cure. Always watch. the weather for signs of change. Good windroof clothing is essential to trap body heat and reserve garments should be carried. Avoid exhaustion - parties should be carefully balanced with regard to experience and fitness, should attempt reasonable objectives and carry moderate loads. Breakfast, often missed, is of great value, as is the carrying of adequate supplies of food and water.

When evidence of oxpoure is established, good shelter should besought and treatment proceeded with. Further exertion, such as forcing the victim to go on, may be dangerous and should be avoided. The essen'al aims of treatment are to prevent further cooling and encourage rewarming. In a mild or early case, a change to warm, dry clothing and the provision of food and hdt drinks is valuable. In addition, mild muscular activity should be encouragod. If the case is severe, with immobility and semi-consciousness, the patient should be well insulated in a dry sleeping-bag,, preferably with fit companions alongside to provide warmth. Warm, sweet drinkC should be 'taken liberally. Also, the head-down position may be helpful in preventing convulsions, which occur occasionally. DO NOT administer ft alcohol at any stage, since this promotes loss of body heat and may lead to a drop in blood pressure. Over-enthusiastic heating may also result in a lowered blood pressure. Rapid rewarming in a hot bath is the most effective method of treatment, but should only be carried out under medical guidance.

Only when the patient's condition has been reasonably stablis'ed, should he be moved any distance. , If being carried ona litter, especially great care must he To to prevent further ceoling

Shock and trauma, combined with exposure, may present a formidable problem. In these cases, it is important to first stabiliso the patient's general state by arresting haemorrhage, establishing a clear airny and treating the exposure and shock as outlined above. Only then should the treatment of specific injuries e.g. fractures; be initiated.

L E T T E R TO T H E EDITOR

Dear Sir,

I recently hoard a little story saying that there is too much gizzardr in it. So before they put you out on agistment like an old talking horse, Mr. Ed., make some prudent improvements. And would those readers of breeding and good manners who find it confusing, ploase note that it is intended to be spurious and scurrilous and certainly not serious. Clearly tr point is not clear, but windows in a clerestory are often pointed.

So Prue is watching you NO matter what you do? Well don't give a prune for Nor withering perusal. Even when she has no proof She'll voice her disapproval.

Her morals may be prude But her puns are never crude. Such .open impudence By a:pungext pundit Can uproot the imprudent Right from Punchbowl to Punjab.

Hard cheese is Chedder made, But Prue's a Prussian maid. Acid burns of Peru Are no home for the sprerr Who would surely catch the sprue And spew all this verbal stew. Prue needs a good french polish To bringup a fine finnish. Se erupt in a rupture find get out of the rut, Ypurs, Delta bi-tTpsilen.

JUNE/JULY/AUGUST W A L K S PROGRAMME

Many thanks to those who came along to the recent Walks PlanninSocia1ising Evening, hosted by Adrian Hobbs and Kim Young. Unfortunately, the response was rather poorer than at previous evenings, so, if we want a full programme (and I emphasise, if we do), then I invite membets at large to come forward with their plans for leading a walk or two as soon as possible. If you haven't any plans, then I can suggest a few.

Contact no any time you get the urge, or even before, if you likc. 5. Vacant spaces on the programme at the time of going to press are:-

Day walks on the Queen ' s Birthday Weekend. Weekend, Juno 19-20. Weekend, July 24-25. Day walk, July 25. All spaces inAn, both weekend and day, except the weekend trip on 28-29. Pleasant walking to all, Frank Rigby, Walks Secretary.

SOME COMING WALKS 23rd May. Mt. Tennant, j44L. The plan is simply to ascend directly from the Naas Road, and possibly look for Tennants Cave on the hill. Good views from the top, but it might be cold (Note from the leader)

Fi-Stm, 21-23 May. Mt. Caneblas-BorOnore Arch-Verandah Cave. Note Friday night start. Driving distance approximately same as Canberra-Sydney (less city traffic). Camp between Cewra and Canewindra on Friday night, at a salubrious spot Imewn to the leader. (Water and tent poles will not be available there). On Saturday we will drive to within about a quarter of a mile of Borenoro Arch, and carry packs to a pleasant camp spot a few yards downstream from where the creek emerges from the arch. Gourmets and ether layabouts may then spend the day philesephising and selilequising, while the rest of the party undertake an easy 2-mile walk along Boree Creek to Verandah Cave. This is an unusual structure formed as a result of the stream undercutting a meander channel along a cliff-face. The small .( 200') Tunnel Cave is in the same area, but location cannot be guaranteed. Sunday will be devoted to some sightseeing on Mt. Caneblas. At over 4500?, this extinct velcono dominates the countryside and carries on its upper slopes a sub-alpine type vegetation growing in sturd.: cenipetitien with the local T.V. mast. . It is hoped to reach the falls on the headwaters of Boree Creek. If time permits, a visit may also be made to the old mines at Cadia, a few miles south of Caneblas. (Note from the leader)

22-23 May. Fiery Range.

The Fiery Range is situated west of thi Brindabellas. Place names on the reap that may be visited include Broken Cart Clearing and Resting Paddock. Camp may be made at either Dead Horse Creek or Roast Beef Creek, depending on taste. The exact route will net be lmewn (if at all) until the weekend is over, but if the walk is to have some sense of purpese, let it be called exploratory.

thJae. Mt. Franklin Social.

Following the success of a social event last winter at the Mt. Franklin Chalet (C.1.C.), it has been decided to held another at the same venue. A meal will be provided on the Saturday evening, for the approximate cost of $1.00. There are 30 bunks in the chalet and the evemit charge is 50c for members and approx- imately $1.50 for non-members. People arc requested to bring their own plates, cutlery and glasses and food for the Sunday, when day walks in the vicinity may be arranged. Great things are being planned - such as full moons and snew. Please book as early as you can. The list will be placed in Paddy Pallin's at least two weeks in advance. Any girls (er tales!) whu are wi11iti to help with the catering are requested to contact Rosemary Smart (730427 Ext. 346 work).

A WORD OF EXPLANATION ON ACCESS UXJ THE , BUDAVTANGS 'The non public reserved read gives legal access to the area'. This apparent contradiction has been resolved. In the early days of the colony access roads vere drcwin on crude maps of crown lands and gazetted to allew freedom of access. Those reads are non-public in the sense that they are not maintained by councils. In this respect your NEMA membership would not be of much financial use if you became begged on one of them. Some of the roads have never been formed and are just there on paper. We have legal access to their routes through and into crown lands, but they may be of more use for walking than driving. J.W. 6.

ESSTIAL ITDIS ON A TRIP

Not only did I leave my matches at on a recent trip (un(rgiveable), but fcund myself on a weekend trip with no torch, map, compass, tent and very nearly no parka or cverpants.

I left home with two torches and a map and compass.! Howeve when repacking in the car, I first decided to take the small torch, se discarded the heavy head torch. At a later stage of repacking, I decided to take the heavy torch, so discarded the light one, but forgot to put the heavy one back in again. 7. I found I had the wrong mpaè I .can' t et used to the fact that everything in the Snowy area 1a' net n.theKcsciusko mèp - Brooks Hut a.:the Tin Mine Huts, I have found, aren't. So I decided not to take the compass either. I hadn't broughta tent because other members in the party had one. My parka and overpants I fondbt accident under the car seat just before locking the door. And it wasn't till we were descending the Cascades that I wondered if myboets were 'safe' according to the: recont injunction that our footwear should be 'safe, comfortable and reliable' (seethe notice on the front of the trips booking lists). However, all's well that ends well, and I found a previous weekend when I forgot my lmifd, fork and spoon far more difficult, when I had to oat verything with a borrowed fork. I I

Last weekend I remembered all the essential items, except a spare torch bulb, and was lent a torch by someone who carries two. Jenny Briorley.

TRIP REPORT

Goebarragandra Riverj-4th April 1911 . Eight walkers eagerly hastened to the mountains with virgin scrub, west of the Fiery Range. Nothing was to prevent us from getting there, dospite fallen trees and broken up creek crossings. The road to Brindabella was in excellent condition, but Rules Point road and Broken Cart Trail could have been better. By the time the fire trail off the Broken Cart Trail was negotiated the axe had to be used and the road surfaco generally had deteriorated a lot since the previous visit.

After a short walk, base camp was ostablishod on the banks of the Goobarragan- dra River (not before chasing a wild pig off the campsite). We then strolled through scrub, past Dubbo Cascades Falls to the junction of the Goobarragandra Right Hand Branch where lunch was partaken. 'ha-cha' fell asleep imach to the concern of the remainder of the party. We returned to base camp and some fish were caught for supper and breakfast. The blackberries and yoghurt were very tasty.

Sunday was a day of rost, with fishermen fishing, some blackberry picking and others in a state of semi.-paralysis. All thoughts of exploring the deep eucalypt forests disappeared as the sun lose higher.

After lunch we returned to the cars despite a desperate blocking move by a sow. Front wheel drive vehicles wore at a definite disadvantage on the return trip with three steep hills to negotiate. After much coaxing and sitting on the bonnet we got there, The Club formula should provide for a dust allowance.

EMERGENCIES Th THE BUSH

When an emergency arises, don't panic. Sit down, make a logical plan and stick to it. Illness or Injury: Any illness or injury should be reported at once to the leader, and if recurrent, its previous history. An injured person should never be sent back atone, and should not be left alone unless absolutely necessary. While awaiting help, an injured man and his companion(s) should move only if necessary and then should leave conspicuous signs or messages of directi'n and destination for rescuers. If lost: Scout round seeking land marks, then sit down, pool ideas, decide on most probable position and plan best route to safety (along ridge, down creek, etc.). I retreat to previous landmark possible or worthwhile? While following planned route, use map and compass and observe landmarks with a view to fixing position. Deviate from plan ^nly when position is certain. Walk steadily, marking route, especially changes in direction. Break twigs, leave stones on logs, etc. Leave prominent dated note at any camp or fireplace, indicating plans, also names and condition of party. Pool, and if necessary ration, food. Do not travel at night. Find a sheltered campsite before dark. 1 If unable to find a route to safety, find a sheltered but conspicuous campsite with water. Light smoky fire and stay put. Distress signals: Any three signals repeated at intervals. Three shouts or whistles, three flashes with mirror or torch, three clouds of smoke, etc. Ground to air signals: Try an4 have items if Irightly coloured clothing or gear, e.g. park&, shirt, pullover, groundsheet, space blanket, etc. Orange, yellow, blue, red stand out. Lay out clothes, tents, sleeping bags, etc. Characters must be at least eight feet in length with maximum colour cintrast with background. Use in conjunction with fire or mirrors to attract attention.
