You're tired of the pavements, the car fumes and seeing that same old corner house in need of paint, right? Maybe it's time to take a hike. But make sure you make it back home all in one piece. The International Red Cross offers some suggestions.
Take action:
Review the equipment, supplies and skills that you'll need for your outing; consider the kinds of emergencies you may encounter and plan for them; make sure that you're in proper physical condition for your adventure; it's best to hike or camp with at least three other persons - if someone becomes injured or sick, one person can stay with the victim while the others can go for help; leave a copy of your itinerary with someone - it should include details about your vehicle, a list of equipment you have with you, and your scheduled date of return.
