Tell someone where you are going

• Also let them know when you expect to be back

 

Fully charge your cell phone

• Chances are there won’t be reception, but at least you have a full charge if there is

 

Pack an Emergency Kit

• Safety Whistle-3 blasts on the whistle is the international distress call

• Flashlight or headlamp

• Lighter or waterproof matches

• Multi-function tool

• Space blanket

• Pepper Spray- I have never felt unsafe when hiking alone, but I do believe in being prepared
