Before You Shop: Safety Hiking Tips (and extra items) to Remember:

  • Be sure to pack a first aid kit, you never know when you’ll need an ace bandage or Band-Aid.
  • Adding chewable Ibuprofen to your First aid kit can come to your rescue in the chance you get stung by a bee or touched by a plant that gives your body an allergic reaction.
  • Always tell someone the location you’re hiking and the estimated time of completion.
  • Bear spray isn’t a bad idea as at any time you can encounter an animal (even a dog) that might not be happy about your presence.
