After reading through the chapter, I understand the conceptional differences between hazard and risk, and the process of managing both in outdoor scenarios. The ability to use risk assessments and past gained experience ensures that you are safer and less of a hazard to yourself and those around you when outdoors. Risk can be attributed to experience and knowledge gained from experience and exposure to certain events and environments. Having more experience and more knowledge leads to safer experiences in the outdoor environment, but over confidence may lead to more exposure to hazards.

Personally I think risk protection and risk tolerance are interesting subject to look at as it can change depending on who you talk to as it is very unlikely to find two people with the same risk perception because everyone idea of risk is different and can based on things like experience after reading Safety Risk and Adventure; Barton 2007; Chapter 2 which was a very helpful as I think it has helped me understand risk perception better as well as developing my general understanding of risk management as I found it better developed my understanding of how risk assessment work which I think is a important thing to understand when it comes to looking at risk perception and risk tolerance I also found when I watched a video on being a mountain guide by the channel Arc'teryx I got a better idea of how it is to have to adjust the risk based on there clients risk tolerance and how they managed there clients unrealistic it was a really interesting video as it gave me a better idea how it is to be someone who has much more experience than I do when it comes to both risk tolerance and risk perception are different for each individual and when it comes to my field of study which is Adventure filmaking I hope to develop a good Risk perception by getting experience with different activities so that in the future I can more accurately understand what potential risk there might be when filming something in the future

After reading the chapter and Nina's entry. I get a really good understanding of how risk can be viewed in different aways. The key elements being how it outlines the difference between hazard and risk. The hierarchy of risk assessment put a really good perspective on it. Allowing people to have a better understanding of risk assessments when broken down. This is where experience comes in as being a novice you wouldn't know to think about the weather effective the river levels. And it's clear that risk defiantly is related to experience and competency. The more experience you have, the more you know and understand the topic. Knowing how to make the right decisions. going into the video we watched in class, it said if you don't know the hazards, you won't be able to see them. So having the experience will expose you to the risks.
