How many of us have left the house on a day or weekend trip, biking, camping or some other fun activity without leaving a plan with someone on your whereabouts or trip details.
Preparedness also extends to activities we are doing and there is a great website called AdventureSmart that has excellent information and resources for the outdoor enthusiast. Let’s face it, NO ONE EVER expects to get into trouble outdoors. But, a turn in the weather, mistake in judgment, unexpected injury, equipment failure, or sudden nightfall can quickly change any recreational outing into a crisis. Does anyone know where you have gone and when you expect to return? When things go wrong, you’ll be happy you took the time to properly prepare.
AdventureSmart also has an app that is available for free in the Apple App Store for iOS devices and on Google Play for Android devices, and can also be accessed from any web browser.
