救援背後的故事：登山安全的深刻一課 🏔️⛈️

最近英國《衛報》（The Guardian）報導了關於團隊夥伴 Petr 的搜救故事，其中最關鍵的一起案例，就是搜尋失蹤登山客楊先生。

Petr 當初不放棄地搜尋了許多天。一個月後，終於在溪谷中找到了楊先生。經過現場情況的推斷，Petr 研判楊先生應該是在下山往奧萬大的途中，試圖過溪時發生了意外。

即便颱風沒有直接侵襲台灣，山區的天氣依然極度不穩定，隨時可能降下豪大雨。⚠️請大家在規劃登山行程時，務必格外謹慎—特別是當路線的後段包含溪流或河川過溪點時！

準備充分、時刻留意天氣變化，才能平安回家。

Behind the Rescue: A Crucial Lesson in Mountain Safety 🏔️⛈️

The Guardian recently published a feature covering Petr’s search and rescue efforts, focusing on his most significant case—the search for a missing hiker named Mr. Yang.

Petr spent many days tirelessly searching for him. A month later, he located Mr. Yang trapped in a creek system. Based on the terrain and evidence, Petr deduced that Mr. Yang likely suffered an accident while attempting to cross a stream on his descent toward Aowanda.

Even when a typhoon doesn't make direct landfall, mountain weather in Taiwan can be extremely unpredictable, bringing sudden, violent downpours. ⚠️ Please pay meticulous attention to your trip planning, especially if your route includes stream or river crossings toward the end.

Stay safe, plan thoroughly, and respect the mountains.

深感震驚與不捨。搜救隊夥伴、廣受山友敬重的「五哥」（張福和）在近期山區虎頭蜂襲擊事件中不幸離世。

許多山友都知道五哥對山域搜救與步道安全的無私付出，還有他那標誌性的頭巾與熱情。2022 年在一次安全分享會上記得與他相識，那段回憶至今依然深刻。

我們向五哥的家人與搜救隊夥伴致上最深切的哀悼，同時也祈求他的女友能度過危險期，早日康復。

山林警惕：為何「快速逃跑」是唯一的救命關鍵？

平時在帶隊、巡路或修築步道時，我總會提前跟夥伴做好約定：「只要一聽到蜂鳴或發現蜂群，不用猶豫，立刻往安全方向全力跑離！」 在出發前與同行夥伴做好這個溝通至關重要，遇到狀況時大家才能第一時間反應。

1. 過敏反應 vs. 蜂毒中毒
•過敏性休克： 可能僅因 1–2 針引發。隨身攜帶急救針（EpiPen）或抗組織胺藥物能爭取關鍵的送醫時間。
•毒性休克： 虎頭蜂（尤其是黑腹虎頭蜂）蜂毒性極強。一旦被大量螫傷，大量蜂毒會引發橫紋肌溶解與急性腎衰竭。這種蜂毒中毒在醫學上是沒有解毒藥物的，只能靠醫院急救與支持性治療。
結論： 藥物能處理過敏，但**「迅速跑離蜂群、減少被螫針數」永遠是預防大量中毒最核心的自救方式。**

2. 遇到虎頭蜂的應對原則
•行前約定： 出發前務必與隊友做好默契溝通，遇到蜂群時第一時間撤退。
•全力跑離： 保護頭頸部，順著安全方向快速跑離現場至少 50–100 公尺以上。切勿停留、蹲下或揮打。
•穿著淺色衣物： 避免穿著黑色或深色裝備，深色容易誘發虎頭蜂攻擊。
R.I.P. 五哥，感謝你為台灣山林所做的一切。

In Memory of 五哥 (張福和) & Crucial Hornet Safety on the Trail

We are deeply shocked and heartbroken by the tragic loss of 張福和 (五哥), a respected figure in Taiwan’s search and rescue (SAR) and outdoor community, who recently passed away after a severe hornet attack in the mountains.

Many in the outdoor community knew 五哥 for his dedication, his selfless service, and his signature bandana on the trail. Back in 2022 during a safety sharing event, I met him in person—a memory that will always stay with me.

Our hearts go out to his family, friends, and SAR teammates. We also send our strongest positive energy and thoughts to his girlfriend, wishing her a full and steady recovery during this critical time.

Hornet Safety: Why RUNNING is Your #1 Defense
Whenever I lead group hikes, trail maintenance, or events, I always give my team an upfront rule: "If anyone hears or spots hornets, don't hesitate, don't fight them, and don't freeze—RUN in a safe direction away from the source!"

Briefing your hiking partners before you step onto the trail is essential so everyone reacts instantly without panic.

1. Allergic Reaction vs. Venom Toxicity
•Allergic Reaction (Anaphylaxis): Can happen from just 1 or 2 stings. This is where carrying an EpiPen or oral antihistamines can buy critical time.
•Toxic Shock (Venom Poisoning): Species like the Black-bellied Hornet (黑腹虎頭蜂) carry extreme toxicity. If stung repeatedly, the massive dose of venom causes muscle breakdown (rhabdomyolysis) and acute kidney failure. There is no antidote pill for severe venom toxicity—only hospital treatment.
•The Takeaway: Medicine helps with allergic reactions, but preventing multiple stings by running away immediately is the single most effective way to save your life.

2. Essential Rules in an Attack
•Pre-Hike Briefing: Before starting, make sure everyone in your group knows to evacuate immediately if hornets are triggered.
•RUN Instantly: Cover your head and neck, and run fast for at least 50–100 meters in a safe direction. Do not squat down or try to swat them.
•Wear Light Colors: Avoid black and dark-colored clothing, as hornets react aggressively to dark shades.

【媒體報導】登上英國《衛報》The Guardian！山域搜尋與跑山獸的初心

很榮幸最近接受了英國《衛報》（The Guardian）的專訪。

文章中記錄了我們在台灣深山進行山域搜尋（SAR）的經驗，以及幾次艱難任務背後的心路歷程。對我們來說，每一次走進山林、每一次盡心盡力的搜尋，都是源於對山林的敬畏，以及想把人安全帶回家的信念。

感謝國際媒體的報導，讓全世界看到台灣山林的美麗與挑戰，也關注到山域安全的重要性。
