    Humans try to control nature by implementing their force upon it. In The Tent Peg, the men in the camp use means of force to take control of mother nature by bringing in heavy machinery and helicopters, thus leading to loud noises and disrupting the peaceful norms of nature. To humans, nature is an unknown territory which dictates their greed and curiosity to attain ultimate knowledge by constantly exploring nature, often resulting in the destruction of nature. When humans are intimidated and threatened by nature, they immediately try to overcome it by resorting to one's survival instincts. When the landslide occurs, the geologists are unaware of this fact (Van Herk 121), however when they learn of its occurrence their first thought is to find means of escape by moving their camp.

  • High First Observation

    As each man excited, cleared his immediate area and checked-in on the radio, we formed our stack and began the flight to the end of the valley. As predicted, the illumination was below ten percent, but our GPS’s kept us on azimuth. Shortly, our time to turn on final came and we headed towards the bottom of the valley, a couple hundred meters short of our pre-planned impact point. As each man came to his version of a night parachute landing fall, we conducted link-up and started moving across the valley, towards the ridgeline that began our route.
