察徒步之備
生而驗徒步之清單，按季、時長、難、眾數、重而優之。
用時
- 備一日徒步或多日之旅
- 為眾備而分共具
- 調標清單以合特季或況
- 發前察備，以免漏
- 為長或技徑管背重
入
- 必要：時長（日、宿、多日）
- 必要：季與預期溫段
- 必要：徑難（SAC T1-T6 或述）
- 可選：最高海拔與預況（雪、雨、熱）
- 可選：眾數（為分共具）
- 可選：目標背重或重限
- 可選：特須（via ferrata、冰川裝、攝影）
法
第一步：察況
定驅備擇之境因。
Condition Assessment Matrix:
┌──────────────────┬────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Factor │ Impact on Gear │
├──────────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ Temperature │ Layering depth, sleeping bag rating │
│ Precipitation │ Rain gear weight, pack cover, gaiters │
│ Snow/ice │ Microspikes, crampons, ice axe, gaiters │
│ Sun exposure │ Sunscreen, hat, sunglasses, lip balm │
│ Altitude (>2500m)│ Extra warm layer, sun protection, hydration│
│ Duration │ Food weight, water capacity, shelter type │
│ Remoteness │ First aid depth, emergency beacon, backup │
│ Technical terrain│ Helmet, harness, rope, via ferrata set │
│ Water sources │ Carry capacity, purification method │
│ Hut availability │ Sleeping bag vs. sheet, meal vs. cook gear │
└──────────────────┴────────────────────────────────────────────┘
類徒步於下之一貌：
Hike Profiles:
SUMMER-DAY: Warm, short, well-marked, huts available
SUMMER-MULTI: Warm, multi-day, hut-to-hut or camping
SHOULDER: Spring/autumn, variable weather, possible snow
WINTER: Cold, snow cover, short daylight
ALPINE: High altitude, exposed, technical sections
TROPICAL: Hot, humid, rain, insects
得： 清貌與諸況因已察。此貌驅第二步之清單。
敗則： 若況不定（如肩季變天），計最劣。持未用之雨衣勝於無衣而濕。
第二步：按類生基清單
依十要之框與附類建備清單。

Weight Optimization Strategies:
┌──────────────────────┬────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Strategy │ Example │
├──────────────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ Eliminate │ Remove items not needed for conditions │
│ Substitute │ Trail runners instead of heavy boots │
│ │ (if terrain allows) │
│ Downsize │ Smaller first aid kit for day hikes │
│ Multi-use items │ Buff = sun protection + warm hat + │
│ │ dust mask │
│ Share in group │ One first aid kit per 3-4 people, │
│ │ one repair kit per group │
│ Repackage │ Decant sunscreen into small bottle, │
│ │ remove excess packaging │
│ Lighter materials │ Titanium cookware, cuben fiber shelter │
└──────────────────────┴────────────────────────────────────────┘
Weight Targets (pack weight without food/water):
Day hike: 3-5 kg base weight
Hut-to-hut: 5-8 kg base weight
Camping: 8-12 kg base weight
Winter/alpine: 10-15 kg base weight
眾徒步者，分共具：
Shared Gear Distribution:
First aid kit (group) → strongest hiker or designated person
Repair kit → most experienced with repairs
Cooking system → split stove/fuel/pot across members
Shelter (if shared) → split tent body/fly/poles
Emergency gear → distribute PLB, rope among members
得： 重優之清單，各品有明旨。總背重於貌之目範。共具已分於特員。
敗則： 若背重逾目兩成以上，重考貌是否合。久日重背大增疲與傷險。或減備（受險）或擇易/短徑。
第四步：驗全合況
清單於所察況之末交察。

驗
- 清單含諸十要

- 背重於貌之目範
- 共具已分於特員（眾徒步）
- 水容涵最長補間
- 急救含個人藥
- 無新未試之備（靴已磨合、爐已試）
陷
- 棉害：棉衣濕而失保溫。諸層宜用美利奴或合成纖
- 徒步日新靴：未試之鞋致泡。新靴至少三四短行磨合後長行
- 假一水源：若唯計之源乾（季流），脫水速至。恆備最劣況之容
- 「以防」而過裝：每無用之克於時累。若不能名此徒步何時用之，留家
- 忘防曬：高處 UV 每千米升一成。2000 米上曬傷與雪盲為實危，即涼亦然
