Being Adventurous, Safely
It's better to bring too much than too little.
A little planning and forethought before a trip to the great outdoors — coupled with a lot of awareness and common sense when in the wilderness — goes a long way toward keeping adventures safe.
Having the right gear and knowing how to use it can make the difference between a great experience and a miserable one. Knowing how to deal with situations as they arise will also help you keep your cool and make the right decisions. With the right outdoor equipment, both material and mental, a potentially life-threatening situation can be nothing more than the makings of a great story for future telling
