Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. As a leader, before you set off on your tramp through the bush you should ALWAYS leave details of your trip with a responsible contact person. Which of these information items is it not necessary to give?

Answer: The daily food menu

Information such as equipment, radio access and any special medical problems of any of the party is also helpful information. All the information should be updated just before setting off.
2. What other checks should a party leader make just before setting off on the tramp?

Answer: Park restrictions, weather, health, equipment

Unpredictable weather, broken equipment along with each individuals' health can all play a part in making the tramp difficult or dangerous.
The leader should find out how experienced each individual is and be aware of the pitfalls that these checks could cause his party.
Fire bans, protected wildlife and private property areas are other things to be considered before heading off.
3. Once on the way what should a good leader not aspire to do?

Answer: Rush ahead to get dinner on

It is important to have regular rests as well as setting a pace that all the party can keep up with. This helps keep the party together and not strung out in a line which can be a recipe for disaster.
4. Trampers should all be environmentally aware. What should you as a leader not encourage fellow trampers to do?

Answer: Raid birds' nests for eggs for tea

The outdoors is a joy and treating it with the respect it deserves is mainly common sense. Burn all paper rubbish, bury waste food as well as human waste if there is no toilet available. Bury the human waste away from waterways and not deeper than 30 cm as that is where the decomposing bacteria live. Carry all other rubbish out in a plastic bag.
5. What footwear would you advise your fellow trampers to wear for your bush walk?

Answer: Comfortable leather lace up boots

It is sensible to wear tramping boots that are a nice fit and have already been worn in as new boots could cause blisters that will slow you and the whole party down.
6. As a leader you have a main first aid kit. You should also advise your party to take a personal basic first aid kit as well. What of the choices below is not usually in the personal kit?

Answer: Automatic defibrillator

The leader should have a larger, more extensive first aid kit but each person should take a small, light, first aid kit themselves.
7. When lighting a fire in the bush what should you not use as fuel except in emergencies?

Answer: Living trees

It is important to use wood that is already dead rather than to destroy the environment by cutting down healthy trees. Let those trees live to be enjoyed by the next trampers. Dried animal waste such as cow dung is usable but not that common in the bush.
8. Approximately how much distance will an average tramping party cover on a smooth, wide track per hour?

Answer: 5 kilometers (3 miles)

Large parties can take longer than smaller ones due to narrow tracks, swing bridges, fallen trees and river crossings and similar hazards, but, on average, five kilometers are covered every hour by a fit walker.
9. Where would you keep your map during the tramp?

Answer: Keep dry and handy in a plastic bag

By keeping your map in a plastic bag it will be kept dry and you can fold the map to be read through the bag to lessen the chances of it getting wet in inclement weather. There are, of course, also GPS and mobile phones that can be good tools. But reception issues or device failures (an untimely dead battery) make a physical map very important.
10. When the tramp is over, what should the leader do on arrival at the finishing point of the tramp?

Answer: Inform the contact person that all have returned safely from the tramp

After the tramp it is very important to let the responsible contact person know that the tramp has finished and all have returned. Otherwise they could set a off a futile search.
