ENDED DIFFERENTLY HAD THE HIKERS TAKEN

THIS ONE SIMPLE PRECAUTION

CHOOSE A SUNSCREEN THAT PROTECTS AGAINST

BOTH UVA AND UVB RAYS

RATHER THAN TRYING TO WATERPROOF ALL OF

YOUR STUFF WITH THOSE SPRAYS, USE SOMETHING

LIKE THOMPSON'S WATER SEAL (YES, THE STUFF

YOU USE ON YOUR DECKING. IT'S A LOT CHEAPER

COLLECT ALL THE WOOD YOU THINK YOU'LL NEED

FOR THE NIGHT IN A PILE. THEN MAKE THE

PILE 3 TIMES BIGGER

GET A HEADLAMP IN WHITE/YELLOW AND RED.

THE RED IS GREAT AT NIGHT. IT ALLOWS YOU

TO SEE WITHOUT WAKING PEOPLE UP. IT

ALSO LETS YOU KEEP YOUR NIGHT VISION

15 MINUTE ROAD FLARES CAN BE REALLY

HANDY FOR STARTING FIRES WHEN IT'S TOO

WET/WINDY/ETC

ALWAYS HAVE EXTRA UNDERWEAR AND TOILET PAPER

BRING POTATOES, WRAP THEM IN TIN FOIL ALONG

WITH SOME SALT AND BUTTER, AND THROW THEM

IN THE FIRE. WHEN YOU PULL THEM OUT THEY'LL

BE DELICIOUS!

SETTING UP TENTS IT THE DARK IS NOT FUN.

FIND A SPOT BEFORE THE SUN GOES DOWN
