Hacks

1 / Water

Try to drink water as much as possible before and during hiking/camping. Dehydration is a serious health concern, and when hiking, you're most likely far from a hospital. Be vigilant and drink up!

2 / Carry a whistle with you

Oh no! You don't have cell service, and you need help! Carrying a whistle with you ensures the possibility that at least one person may hear you. Better safe than sorry, am I right?

3 / Sun protection

Always wear sunscreen, even when the UV is not "high." Wear hats to protect your face and scalp. Trust me, you'll thank me later!
