Backcountry Travel

Walking in the woods, whether as a hiker, camper,backpacker or hunter, provides oppurtunities to practive the skills of a backcountry traveler... This in no way intended to be a course in backcounrty safety or survival. It's you against the world, and we're not taking any responsibility for the outcome When things go wrong

The worts thing you can do is to get frightened. the trully dangerous enemy is not the cold or the hunger, so much as the fear. It robs the wanderer of his judgement and of his limb power; it is fear that turns the passing experience into a final tradegy... Keep cool and all will be well... use what you have, where you are, right now.

So you've planned, you've prepared, and now you're on the trial. And the worst part is, you don't know where you are. There's a four-step process to follow, and all you have to do is STOP --Stay-Think-Observe-Plan.

Before you travel
How far can you go?When choosing a location and route, take into account your physical condition, the reason for hiking, and the terrain weather you could possibly encounter... What should you wear? Proper foot gear is one of the most importants parts of your journey. Sturdy running shoes are good for hiking on relatively smooth surfaces, such as maiintained trails...
