Police remind all who venture into the great outdoors to be prepared for the unexpected. Take a map of the area and also ensure someone knows where you are going and when you should return. Take an emergency pack with you in case the unexpected occurs, if you get lost and need to spend the night. Remember to stay in one place if lost, it is much harder to locate someone who is moving compared to one who is stationary. Notify family or friends where you’re going and what time you’re returning and don’t be afraid or embarrassed to call for help if you get lost.
