1. Outdoor essentials: mobile phone, knives, rope, whistle

1.1 I was very puzzled at first, why didn't I call for help on my mobile phone, but it was explained later in the video that there was no signal there at all. Still, a cell phone is a must-have item.
1.2 It is best to prepare two, a large knife and a small knife. The reason why an accident is called an accident is that you can't know what will happen, and no matter what the accident, the knife can basically be used.
1.3 Rope, as long as the activities related to the mountain must bring the rope.
1.4 Don't think that you can shout at any time, shouting requires a lot of physical strength, but as long as you can breathe, you can whistle for help. Think about Rose's last call for help in

2. Plan carefully

2.1 Better have a company
2.2 If not, be sure to let friends or family know where you are

3. Live well

127 Hours quotes

  • Aron Ralston: You know, I've been thinking. Everything is... just comes together. It's me. I chose this. I chose all of this. This rock... this rock has been waiting for me my entire life. In its entire life, ever since it was a bit of meteorite a million, billion years ago up there In space. It's been waiting, to come here. Right, right here. I've been moving towards it my entire life. The minute I was born, every breath I've taken, every action has been leading me to this crack on the earth's surface.

  • Aron Ralston: Good morning, everyone! It's 6:45 Tuesday morning in BJ Canyon! The weather is great. I figure by now that Leona, my housemate - Hi, Leona! - has missed me hopefully since I didn't show up last night. Another hour and a half they'll miss me for not showing up at work... Hi, Brion at work! Best case scenario is they notify the police and after a 24 hour hold they file a report, a missing person's report. Which means noon tomorrow it's official that I'm gone. I do still have the tiniest bit of water left. Well, actually, I've resorted... I've had a couple pretty good gulps of urine that I saved in my Camelbak. I sort of let it distill... It tastes like hell. So, it's 70 hours since I left on my bike from Horseshoe Trailhead during which time I have consumed 3 liters of water, a couple of mouthfuls of piss...

    [pauses a couple of seconds]

    Aron Ralston: Did I say the weather is great? Well, it is. Though flash floods potential is still present. There's four-prong major canyons upstream from me that all converge in this 3 foot wide gap where I am. The rock I pulled down on top of me, it was put there by flood. Still, I'd get a drink.

    [pauses again, while he drinks and shudders]

    Aron Ralston: Mom, Dad, I really love you guys. I wanted to take this time to say the times we've spent together have been awesome. I haven't appreciated you in my own the way I know I could. Mom, I love you. I wish I'd returned all of your calls, ever. I really have lived this last year. I wish I had learned some lessons more astutely, more rapidly, than I did. I love you. I'll always be with you.
