Although no one expects trouble when they plan an outdoor expedition, problems can occur and hikes should be ready for them, says Gary Nussbaum, associate professor of recreation and leisure services at Radford University.
Hikers should plan for emergencies by leaving an itinerary with a responsible person who knows the route, the group, the duration and the arrival time, he says. Procedures to follow in case the hikers do not call the person at the designated arrival time should be detailed. The number for the Ranger Station in the hiking area should be listed, as well as any numbers for search and rescue groups and hospitals.
While on the trail, hikers should follow a trail guide (available at local outfitter stores or area Ranger Stations). Where there are registers at trailheads, use them. Hikers should stay together as a group and not get separated. Mr. Nussbaum says the ideal number for a group is four. If there were an emergency which required outside assistance, two could stay at the site while two went for help. One person should not attempt to go alone.
