Safety Tips

Planning

Planning before you depart is the most critical factor in having a safe trip.  Know where you are going, who you are going with, and when you will return. Let somebody know where you will be and when to expect your return.  Remember, there is safely in numbers, and having a partner for your outdoor activities will improve safety for both of you.  Take maps and a compass, and know how to use them.  Talk to experts from land management agencies to learn about local conditions where you are going.
