Taking part in any outdoor activity in the country has risks. If you are going on an outdoor adventure, you should prepare yourself with these safety measures to limit your chance of injuries.
Before you begin a trip, make sure you are physically fit enough to engaging in energy-draining exercises such as hiking. Equip yourself with hiking boots, rain gear, and clothes made of breathable fabrics.
Take essentials such as blankets, a first aid kit, a penknife, a flashlight, high-energy snacks, water, and a whistle for disclosing your location. A compass and a map may also help prevent you from going off the trail. Maps in your phone are not entirely reliable because some areas have coverage issues, and the phone battery may die.
