A discussion Take precautions for outdoor vacations by Brent Stettler Regional Information Manager Everyone needs some time away. A vacation can cure just about everything from buniorn to anxiety. However, if not careful, your outing youre solve your marital even may nati al debt anil the problems, everything else. A few precautions will go a long way toward making your camping trip safe and enjoyable. Its true that the risks appear low. After all, when was the last time you read about the blowing up a tent? ...or a wilderness hiker being the victim of a drive-b- y shooting? Nonetheless, there are a few hazards that warrant attention. Some folks claim a special closeness to Deity in the mountains. Its good advice to avoid a lightning strike, unless you want to be close enough to your Creator to shake hands. During a thunderstorm, its wise to do your communing away from lone trees, mountain tops and other lightning rod surrogates. Wild animals add to the thrill of any outdoor adventure. Hollywoods wildlife experts assure us that wild animals arc our friends. Unfortunately, Yogi may decide to treat you like a giant jelly roll. Bullwinkle might think you look a lot better with a few hoof prints in your back. Wild felines and badgers are capable of lcavi your exterior just a bit airy. And clouds of without repellents, mosquitoes and flics will make a visit from your mother-in-lain seem like a dream-comc-trcomparison. A vacation in the mountains free-floati- ng una-bomb- er w ue can be an education in anthropology. You learn why cave men had caves. If the sun isn't blistering your backside, icy nighttime temperatures are frosting your buns. Theres nothing like a few days in the great outdoors to drive modern man to the mall! Then theres the Daniel Boone type, who figures he will sit at natures table and dine from its bounty. This guy nibbles on pine cones, chews on tree bark, and gobbles down greens. Though edible plants exist, people are not well adapted for wholesale grazing. Dont believe me? Check out the teeth and stomach of a cow. Theres a big difference. Besides being hard to chew, a number of plants provide a bite of their own. Remember, it was some who poor guys next-of-ki- n named plants like "death camas," "loco weed" and "poison hem- lock." Being lost in the woods is no picnic either. Youve heard of Lewis and Clark and Jeremiah Johnson. But what about Bartholomew Ncrdsifer or Theodore Ramspissle? Of course you havent. These guys forgot to tell their wives where they were going, and when they'd be back. As a result, the sheriffs posse had no idea where to look, when these guys parked their dcrricres under a tree. The bottom line is-- use some sense and take a few precautions. The life you save may be your own. Then again, if youre forded to vacation with the kids, the prospect of not surviving somehow seems a little less |
