National Great Outdoors Month
Today we are going to go over some advice from the U.S. Forest Service on adequately preparing for more significant trips outdoors in order to prevent mishaps. 
 
Knowledge of the area, weather, terrain, limitations of your body, plus a little common sense can help to ensure a safe and enjoyable trip.
 
Check out this article for details about the topics we’ll briefly cover, and more:
 
  • Travel with a companion. You don't want to be by yourself in case of an emergency. Leave a copy of your itinerary with a responsible person. Include such details as the make, year, and license plate of your car, and more. If you'll be entering a remote area, your group should have a minimum of four people; this way, if one is hurt, another can stay with the victim while two go for help. 
  • Be in good physical condition. Set a comfortable pace as you hike. A group trip should be designed for the weakest member of the group. If you have any medical conditions, discuss your plans with your health care provider and get approval before departing. Make sure you have the skills you need for your camping or hiking adventure and that you’ve practiced them in advance. If you plan to climb or travel to high altitudes, make plans for proper acclimatization to the altitude.
  • Wear appropriate clothing for the trail conditions and season. Think about… long or short sleeves, pants or shorts, light or heavy jackets, sunscreen, hats, etc.
  • Check your equipment. Keep your equipment in good working order and inspect it before your trip. Be sure to pack emergency signaling devices.
  • Be weather-wise. Keep an eye on current and predicted weather conditions. Weather can change very quickly. Know the signs for approaching storms or changing weather conditions.
  • Think before you drink water! No matter how clean or pure stream water looks, it's likely to contain water-borne parasites and microorganisms that can cause discomfort and sometimes serious illness. Pack your water in, or purify through chemical treatment.
