Overdue Trips

Note to parents, relatives or friends of members on club trips: Should a party be late in returning, please do not worry unduly as this happens often and there are probably good reasons for their delay. If you are in doubt please contact the Chief Guide, a Tramping Organiser or the President.

Safety

Plan your trip thoroughly

register and email your trip intentions using the Outdoors Intentions Form with a responsible person
- the route you intend to take
- the party size, and experience level of the group
- time and place of return

Carry sufficient clothing, equipment, food, and water
- take appropriate clothing: wool or polypropylene next to the skin, two pairs of socks at all times to avoid blisters, sunhat, parka with a hood, overtrousers.
- take appropriate equipment: boots with good tread, small rubbish bag, comfortable pack with a pack liner and a pack cover.
- take a tent fly, first aid items and extra food in case of emergencies
- take navigation equipment and know how to use it: map and compass AND offline maps on your GPS phone app or a dedicated GPS unit.
Carry a means of emergency communication
- take a personal locator beacon (PLB) or InReach, it is good practice to ensure there are at least two PLB on a trip.
- Consider also taking an InReach or satellite phone.
  A communication device is necessary in the outdoors where cell phone reception may be limited or unavailable. Emergency communication devices can be hired at minimal cost or purchased.
Check the weather forecast
- monitor the weather in the days before you leave
- continually monitor the weather conditions during the trip
Check the track and hut conditions
- check with the Department of Conservation, locals, local tramping clubs, Regional Authorities, or District Councils
Beware of rivers - if in doubt DO NOT CROSS
- know when, where, and how to cross
- attend a river safety course before you go
Prepare for emergencies
- when things go wrong, use the STOP model for making decisions:
Stop, take a breath, sit down, and remain calm
Think, look around you, listen, brainstorm options
Observe what is around you, evaluate the potential consequences
Plan what to do what is necessary to keep alive, then act. Water, shelter, warmth, and the will to survive are the essential elements to your survival, but if in doubt stay put.

Incidents and Accidents

If a club trip is involved in or with an incident or accident, please contact the President as in incident review may be required. The President may request a written report of the circumstances and actions taken for circulation to the Incident Review Committee. Any 111 call or PLB activation must be reported to the President. A fatality on a trip must be reported to the President at the earliest opportunity.
