Hiking
* Plan ahead
* Don’t hike alone
* Travel as lightly as possible - the heaviest items in your pack should be your food and water. Bring a map, signal mirror and water purification tablets (for backup) and flashlight
* Stay hydrated and eat often
* Wear sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat
* Stay on the trail
* Avoid huffing and puffing. If you can talk while you walk, you are walking at the perfect speed
