1. All members are e-people. As a newcomer, uncles and aunts have been looking for various opportunities to cue me and resolutely not let me be alone.
2. All members have unique skills. The whole team has a clear division of labor. The leader, deputy leader, and team leader are all responsible for their own skills. The machete clears the way, the drone takes pictures, the uncle protects the whole process, and the leader sister also helps me tie my shoelaces and teaches me how to tie my shoelaces.
3. All members have a treasure box. Everyone has at least a 30L backpack and a large thermos cup. Yunnan Baiyao, Band-Aids, iodine, snake medicine, and bee sting medicine are all available. Uncles and aunts repeatedly told me that I must drink hot water when climbing mountains. What's more lovely is that they also carry a lot of oranges, cucumbers, and pineapples, which they can take out and feed us at any time.
4. All members are chefs. Steamed buns, porridge, various stir-fried dishes, and fish caught by themselves are very rich. It turns out that outdoor road meals can be so beautiful! (It is said that this is the most simple meal, and in the past, at least two hot pots were brought)
5. All members are explorers. They never take mature routes and are keen to explore new roads. Even if there is no road, they can open a road. I also encountered a super big 🐍 on the road. Although I was very scared, with their encouragement and comfort, I successfully passed the 🐍 section.
6. All members are senior donkeys. The average donkey age is more than 10 years. Everyone has a pair of trekking poles, socks (convenient to put on shoes to walk on slippery sections), gloves (convenient to climb by pulling vines), ropes (convenient to go down steep slopes), and knee pads (convenient to go down stairs).
Along the way, uncles and aunts met many acquaintances, all of whom are senior outdoor people. They called each other by their online names (I was also called by my online name for a day today, and I was a little uncomfortable at first), praised each other, encouraged each other, and everyone said that they would continue to persevere.
Along the way, I was deeply moved by their vitality. Let me end with a sentence from the tour leader: "Young people, don't play with your mobile phones all the time, go out for a walk more often, but safety comes first!
