Far Out First Aid

NEVER LEAVE YOUR PACK!

4/9/2017

4 Comments

 
Recently I read an article in the Denver Post about a woman who "became separated" from her hiking group and spent 9 days in the Sierra Nevada mountains before she was rescued.  The article didn't say how she became separated, but I am guessing she stepped off the trail to answer the call of nature, and when she returned everyone was gone.  I am also guessing she either didn't have survival gear in her pack, or couldn't find it when she went back to the trail. 
There are two lessons here.  Number one:  always tell someone when you leave the group to answer the call of nature, especially a large group where your absence might not be noted for awhile.  This is particularly true for groups with hikers of varied ability who don't stay together.  Number two:  NEVER, NEVER, NEVER leave your pack!  Always take your pack with you wherever you go.  That way, you will never be without your survival gear.  
​
Repeat:  NEVER, NEVER NEVER LEAVE YOUR PACK!
