Primary aspects of survival will accompany your learning kayaking experience, and these will include dressing correctly, according to environmental conditions, CPR, and perhaps the correct techniques and manner as to saving a person from drowning in various conditions.
Dressing correctly may seem to be a straightforward issue in terms of learning kayaking, however the importance thereof is vital in a situation that one may become incapacitated.
This subject area includes the use of personal flotation devices, which will keep the wearer afloat in the case of them becoming injured or unconscious and unable to swim to a safe area.
This will also assist the rescuer of the individual to get to the person without them sinking into the water.
Footwear is also extremely important, as you will realize during the learning kayaking phase, as one will be traversing various rugged terrain areas when getting to the water in which you will be kayaking.
Various terrain factors can have potentially hazardous effects upon your feet, when you have to walk over rugged terrain and rocks.
In the event of cold water activities, wetsuit type material, such as neoprene socks can be worn to help retain some of the body heat around the feet area.
Learning kayaking will most likely teach the importance of one of the most vital accessories that are required when kayaking; that being the helmet, especially when one is going into white water areas.
The turbulence of the water can easily capsize the kayaker, in which instance the head needs to be protected from potential bumps and bashes against any rocks on the river bed.
Sun protection represents a latent danger, which one will only realize after time, due to continued exposure to the harmful ultra violet rays of the sun.
People get so preoccupied with their activities, when learning kayaking, or even out in the open, that they do not realize that they are getting sunburned or are even exposed to these harmful rays.
Unfortunately many only realize that a problem has arisen when the skin has been damaged.
Techniques and the correct way of doing CPR should be taught within the kayaking classes.
This is due to the fact that many kayaking activities are quite removed from society and may require that even the individual who is learning kayaking be able to apply these lifesaving techniques due to whatever unforeseen circumstance.
Therefore one can see that a whole range of issues exist in preparing correctly in terms of safety, not only whilst learning kayaking, but when one goes out into secluded areas.
This preparation may make the difference of saving someone's life in the event of an accident or injury, and stands to serve all members of a group going out on these excursions.
