Free GPS Guidance
GPS News, Information and Reviews
Whether you’re going camping, backpacking, or hiking, there are a few essential pieces of equipment necessary to ensure safety and an enjoyable wilderness experience for all involved. The most important item to have is a first aid kit; it’s essential just in case of injury, snakebites, or infection. It’s also important to have a compass and map, or if you want to go modern, a handheld GPS unit can be purchased easily at your favorite GPS store. When venturing into the wilderness apparel like warm clothing, rain gear, gloves, and hiking boots can help you to stay dry and warm if you happen to become cold. Hypothermia can be a real danger in the outdoors, even in warmer locations where you wouldn’t think it.
It’s also important to notify a close family member or friend where you are going and when you intend to come back. If you are lost or injured in the wilderness and no one knows about it, you run the risk of not being found until its too late.
One point i want to make sure everyone understands is please do not completely replace your compass and map with a gps. They are a wonderful tool and I use mine constantly to navigate to and from places of all types. It is very important to have a compass and map as a backup. Example: A while back i was geocaching about 5 miles form the nearest road when my batteries had gone dead i then realized the spares were back in the car. I had no compass or map with me. I did navigate my way out of the woods after a short while. This could have been a disaster if i wasn’t able to figure out my direction. Enjoy and Happy Camping
