The Hiker’s Personal Safety Creed

by Sierra Wilde

I tell someone where I am going

I tell them what time I plan to leave and what time I expect to return

I send them my driving route

I send them my planned hike route

I check in when I get to the trailhead

I check in when I get back to the car

I take a GPS with SOS device

I take my First Aid Kit

I take the 10 Essentials

I am aware of my surroundings, at all times, and will trust my instinct

“There is no such thing as bad weather, only inappropriate clothing.”

—Sir Randolph Fiennes
