Mental

Every participant must make mental preparations before leaving (not just the leader).

  • Review a map of the area.
  • Know where to get help if help is needed.
  • Know the rules governing the area you are going.
  • Check the weather forecast.
  • Talk with the government officials responsible for the area where you will spend your time. Check in with them when you arrive and let them know your plans. Check with them again when you leave.
  • Review First Aid principles
  • Review Fire Safety
  • Teach your group the things you have reviewed. If the only person who knows first aid is injured, who will administer first aid? Everyone should know what to do.
  • Go over group safety principles.
  • Appoint a leader and an alternate in case something happens to the leader.
  • Work out any differences of opinion before departure.
  • Understand the conditions that would make you turn back:
    • Weather
    • Injury or sickness
    • Loss of equipment or supplies
