while hiking, the first rule is to stop, rest, and don’t panic. Try to backtrack your steps. Look for “blazes,” or piles of rocks, which are used to mark trails. Mark you current location and conduct short “sorties,” meeting your group back at the marked spot. Carry a whistle or flare for emergency signals. If nothing works, stay put and don’t separate. Get out your gear for a night in the woods.
Part of your planning for emergencies is knowing what to take in case you are forced to stay overnight. Mr. Nussbaum lists the following “essential 10” items for any trip: map of the area, good-working flashlight with extra bulb and batteries, clothing for bad weather, knife, candle or firestarter, compass, extra food, sunglasses, first aid kit, mathces in a waterproof case.
Even if you are planning a day hike only, plan to take these items as well: trail shoes or hiking boots, extra socks, underwear, short or long pants, extra shirt, sweater, hat or bandanna, sun block, insect repellent, water purification tablets, lunch, camera and film, binoculars, toilet kit, compass, whistle or flares, emergency shelter, water bottle or canteen.
