Guest Ernesto C Report post Posted September 23, 2003 Hi everyone,God bless you all. When ever you go out scouting,hiking,camping,hunting,fishing etc.etc. there are some things you should never forget.First ,tell somebody where you goin to be;if you have a map give someone a copy and circle the area where you will be going and let somebody know when you are coming back.In your back pack you must include:plenty of water,water proof matches.if they are not water proof put them inside a plastic bag to prevent them from getting wet,toilet paper inside a plastic bag it can be use not only for its purpose but as a fire starter in case of an emergency;a mirror for signals,a skining knife can be use for signals too it will shine long ways;a whistle,flashligth with spare bateries.flourescent tape,rain gear,parachute cord,fire starters and if possible dont go out alone,if you have a celular phone please take it.Remenber,you must check your vehicle too;tires,hoses,oil,antifreeze,batery,etc.etc.I always take two spare tires for my truck and two bateries(I speak for experience).This things can save your life or somebody else;if I forgot something please add to this topic and enjoy the outdoors.
