Always Be Very Serious About Backcountry And Outdoor Safety

By Dorothy Baker


When choosing to go on a hike, it's an experience unlike any other with plenty of danger but even more rewards in store that almost nothing can be compared to. With little planning needed to be done for a trip like this regarding accommodation or even trips during the experience but rather a lot to prepare referring to the planning that one should not take for granted but must be considered. Backcountry and outdoor safety is a beautiful form of relaxation but also very dangerous.

Before going, one needs to make sure that they are well trained on venturing out into the open and be prepared for anything that can happen out there. Always travel with a friend as to share in the experience but also should one comes across danger, there partner will be able to assist to call for help if needed. Traveling into the backcountry is an amazing trip that all should do before they die but if it's not well prepared for is can be the end of a traveler.

When entering the wildlife there are plenty of dangerous animals that can cause a lot of damage to humans even kill an individual. With Cougars in back country areas and large powerful cats lurking around for prey, make sure that as an adventurer one stays well prepared for these encounters. Prefer to wildlife guides before the expedition and try to stay on marked trails, or even take a well-trained guide with.

There are a few tips that one should consider when going on a backcountry trip. This includes keeping all trash in a sealed unscented bag, ensure that eating and cooking stations are at least 100m away from sleeping areas and also make plenty of noise when approaching blind corners. When walking around at night use a flashlight as well as remain alert and ensure that all parties in the group are accounted for at all times.

Should one wish to go hunting in bear country this to carries its own risks and should be well prepared for no matter how much of an experienced hunter the explorer might claim to be. For instance should one find a bear at their kill sight, one should not even try to chase it off. Sleeve it instead and then report it to the nearest of the conservation officers around you as soon as possible.

Believe it or not but water can also become a problem if it's not taken into account. It can become deadly cold during the night close to water. Crossing streams that have strong currents can also be very dangerous. Make sure that the best gear is chosen as well as the most reliable.

The biggest thing that can affect the trip is the weather. If possible check the predictions as it will help to plan even better. Make sure that little has been left to chance.

Never travel alone or unprepared. Anything can happen. Backcountry and outdoor risks mean that your safety factor is no joke
