Camping, Tenting & Hiking are great ways to get back in touch with nature and your inner self...
CAMPING FIRSTAID & SAFETY
Nature's backyard can be a dangerous place. Every year, hikers and campers perish due to preventable accidents.
Getting trapped in rock slides, crossing creeks with rising waters, getting too near the edge of high terrain, and unexpected animal encounters of the close kind are all situations which require quick, savvy decision-making and these type situations should always be taken seriously.
Even though most of us are aware that it's dangerous to cross creeks during rising waters, every year people perish from doing such. Smart people!
With West Nile Virus and Lyme Disease in the mix (just to mention a couple), the safety level heightens. Here are the very basic safety tips to keep in mind while out in the wild:
- Never drink from an unknown water source, even if the water appears crystal clear.
- Check in at the Ranger Station and get the scoop on wildlife in the area. Ask for advice should you meet up with such.
- Campfires should be COLD before leaving the area. Smoldering campfires are capable of catching wind and rekindling.
- Keep all food stuff sealed and locked.
- Keep an eye on the weather. A rainstorm in another county can trigger a surge of water within minutes for miles away.
- Always carry a firstaid kit. Remember, an accident is never planned.
- Think about potentially hazardous situations and get a plan in mind should they be unexpectedly presented.
