Outdoor experts teach you how to play

(1) Off-road vehicle

Yonggang A.K.A. Datou Yu is the community executive director of the off-road e-family. This unsmiling elder brother loves ecological photography. He drives off-road vehicles in the grasslands, Gobi, and deserts all year round. He has experienced various harsh natural conditions and witnessed many beautiful moments in nature that make people's hearts beat faster. In his impression, early August is the time when the grasslands are colored - due to different grass species, the grasslands will show colorful color bands such as green, yellow, purple, red... etc., which is the best grassland scenery. when. Lao Yu believes that people who like outdoor life are passionate and interested in music, and are more able to respond to the intense rhythm of rock music. Participating in music festivals on the grassland can better release the psychological pressure caused by fast-paced urban life.

Equipment:

1. Choose a car If you focus on playing, it actually doesn’t matter what kind of car you drive. Lao Yu drives a Qingling off-road vehicle, but you can also drive a QQ, a Mercedes-Benz, a tractor, and make jokes... The road conditions from Beijing to Zhangbei are good, and there are no special requirements for the vehicle.

2. Tent. The quick-opening tent priced around 400-500RMB can be quickly opened within 3 seconds to create a private space without installing brackets. It is very convenient and suitable for car owners to carry. Other camping friends can also choose the tents arranged by the organizer on the site to make their shoulders easier during the long journey.

3. Sleeping bags. Don’t buy envelope sleeping bags that cost around 100 RMB on the market (more suitable for use at the beach). The wholesale price must be at least 150 RMB to be more reliable. In the grassland in early August, the temperature can reach around 30 degrees during the day, and may drop to around 12 degrees at night. The temperature difference between day and night is large, so you need to bring enough warm supplies.

Practical chapter:

1. Animals and mosquitoes There will be various wild animals on the grassland, such as red-billed gulls, hares, and mice. The voles here are vegetarians who love to eat grass roots and grass seeds, and have no habit or awareness of attacking humans. As the weather gets colder, mosquitoes in August begin to be unable to open their mouths (commonly known as autumn mosquitoes) and are not lethal. Of course, there are pros and cons to carrying some trauma and mosquito repellent just in case.

2. Shelter from rain Occasionally there will be thunderstorms in the grassland in summer. The rain on the grassland always follows a line, which is different from the city and the peaceful land. Rain gear should be essential. Those who drive to the music festival should keep their cars still. People should also try not to stay outdoors and return to their tents or cars to take shelter from the rain.

3. Ecological and environmental protection: Try to take away your own domestic garbage, cooperate with the organizer's environmental protection measures, and live in harmony with the grassland creatures.

(2) Bicycle

Chang Hao A.K.A. Daxian professional long-distance bicycle player

The furthest long-distance bicycle trip in Daxian is from Chifeng in Inner Mongolia to Dali Lake -Hongshan Army Racecourse-Siheyong, together with a companion, rode for 10 days at a speed of 25 kilometers per hour. He once spent 3-4 days riding a Daxing SP8 to complete a trip from Beijing to Zhangbei with ease.

Route design: Take the G110 National Highway. The altitude of Zhangbei is higher than that of Beijing, and the whole journey is uphill - the return trip is a relatively easy downhill. There is a train to Shacheng from Beijing North Railway Station, and the bicycle tour can start from Shacheng-Jimingyi-Xuanhua-Zhangbei. If you can’t ride to Zhangjiakou, you can transfer to the shuttle bus to Zhangbei and go directly to the music festival venue.

Hardware equipment: It is recommended to ride a folding bike that can change speed. If you can’t ride it, you can change to other means of transportation at any time. Choose a good-quality large backpack that can put your tent, water, food and daily necessities in it. Ordinary backpacks/panbags are not very sturdy and difficult to withstand the bumps of long-distance treks.

Notes

1. Choose a companion. Please choose someone with similar physical strength to ride with you, otherwise everyone will delay each other and affect the itinerary.

2. Traffic safety You will encounter many large trucks that look like Transformers along the way. Don’t compete with them, give way as much as possible, be prepared, and don’t ride at night.

3. Dust and sun protection. The sun is very strong in August. Wearing cycling clothes and exposing your arms and legs can easily cause sunburn, so you should bring sun protection products. Masks are very necessary, especially when trucks transporting construction materials pass by, which may cause dust to affect breathing and vision.

4. Enjoy the journey. Communicate with local people as much as possible. Don’t ride foolishly just to meet the distance. You will miss a lot of things.

(3) Roller skating

Wang Sen is a roller skating master and former national roller skating champion.

When he was still in high school, Wang Sen and two children, Liu Nan and Yin Ziqi, went roller skating from Mohe to Sanya. It took them four months without a car, one pair of shoes, and three sets of wheels. Finally reached the destination. He said that if a professional roller skating expert like him travels from Beijing to Zhangbei at 30 kilometers per hour and rests every 2 or 3 hours, he should leave at least one and a half days in advance. For example, if you want to catch Xu Wei's performance on Friday night, it's best to start early on Thursday morning.

Prerequisite: You must at least be able to control roller skates freely before you can hit the road. It is best to travel with 4-5 people so that they can take care of each other.

Psychological preparation: Short-distance roller skating requires a person's physical fitness, while long-distance roller skating tests a person's psychological quality. If the distance is long and speed is not required, you must maintain a good attitude and learn to enjoy the process of roller skating.

Equipment inspection: Check the equipment before departure, and bring protective gear, a helmet, enough water (two liters of water is enough, you can replenish it at the shops on the road), and medicines (Band-Aids, Yunnan Baiyao). Roller skates priced at 500-800 are enough. Of course, you should choose professional shoes priced around 5000-8000. The upper shoes are made of carbon fiber and the frame is made of high-strength aluminum alloy. You can feel the advantage of skating faster and lighter than ordinary shoes.

Traffic safety: You must familiarize yourself with the geographical conditions in advance and arrange places for rest and overnight stays. Try to slide as far as possible during the whole process. It is more dangerous when going downhill. It is best to put on casual shoes and walk. If something happens on the highway, you can ask for help from a passing vehicle. Your mobile phone has signal throughout the journey, and you can also dial 110 and 120 directly.
