You might think you know what camping essentials you need, but do you really?
Anytime you wander into the wilderness, you should have a First-Aid kit handy. Ankle sprains, cuts, allergic reactions—all of these can happen on the trail. Burns says it's best to be prepared.
"You can make up your own First-Aid kit by doing the research and thinking of things that could happen," he says. If you're hiking up-and-down rugged terrain, pack an Ace bandage or a small splint to accounts for joint rolls and sprains. Or, if you're hiking through brush and thorns, bring cleaning agents and bandages to deal with cuts and scrapes. Pain reliever, gloves, and alcohol wipes are all solid bets, too.
"They're becoming a more usable tool at this point," says Burns."If you fall and injure yourself and you need assistance, you can hit the emergency button. The whole system's in place where the phone call will come to the rangers. Then we have your coordinates, we know we're you're sitting and we come to your location to assist with whatever you need."Another essential on Burns' list is proper navigation.
"Technology is great—AllTrails and all the apps that are available are great, but people should have [their phones] stored in their backpack. When they want to question their location, turn their phone on. But using a map is the best thing," he says. Before you venture out, buy a map from a local outfitter or a lodge And invest in an orienteering compass, like this
