Hiking Safety Tips
1- Avoid hiking alone because the “buddy system” is safer during any type of activity. If traveling with a group, never stray from the group. If hiking alone, pick a well traveled trail.
2- Stay on marked trails. Making shortcuts and “bushwhacking” causes erosion and greatly increases your chance of becoming lost. As you hike, pay attention to trail blazes (paint marks on trees) and landmarks. A double blaze indicates a change in trail direction or intersection, so be sure to follow the correct trail.
3- Dress in layers and avoid cotton. Today’s hikers can choose from numerous fabrics that wick moisture, dry quickly or conserve heat. Many experienced hikers wear a lightweight shirt that wicks moisture, while carrying a fleece pullover and waterproof jacket in a daypack.
4- Don’t rely on a GPS to prevent you from getting lost. Batteries can die or the equipment can become damaged or lost.
5- Wear bright colors. Don’t dress children in camouflage.
Carry an Emergency Kit Each hiker should have these items:
1- Water 2- First aid kit 3- Whistle 4- Small flashlight with extra batteries 5- Glowstick 6- Energy food 7- Brightly colored bandana
Especially for Children
1- Attach a whistle to their clothing. 2- Teach children that they won’t get into trouble for becoming lost. 3- Reassure children that people (and possibly dogs and helicopters) will look for them if they become lost. Do not hide from searchers; answer their calls. 4- Do not run. Instead, “hug a tree” and make a comfortable “nest.” This prevents wandering even further. 5- Do not be afraid of animals or strange noises. If something is scary, blow the whistle.
What to Do if You are Lost
1- Stay put. 2- Make shelter. 3- Stay warm and dry. 4- Be visible and heard. 5- If helicopters are searching overhead, seek an opening rather than thick tree cover. Lie down so you look bigger from the air.
