Safety Tips
|
|
Bring a good First Aid kit. Be prepared with medications for minor emergencies such as headaches, allergic reactions, and gastrointestinal distress. Purify your drinking water: If you use nature's water when camping, purify it to avoid possible illness. Leave no trace - clean your area for the next camper. Carry more food and clothing than you think you'll need. Prepare for the worst possible conditions for the area at that time of year.
