3. What physical and mental preparations are necessary before a wilderness experience?

Physical

Physical readiness not only implies physical fitness, but also the many things that have to be done to make the trip possible.

  • Choose a destination.
  • Evaluate what sort of equipment will be needed for the possible conditions (not just the likely ones).
  • Let the participants know what equipment they will need.
  • Gather the equipment you will need yourself.
  • Gather the equipment needed by the group.
  • Make sure that the participants have gathered the equipment they will need.
  • Organize transportation (drop off and pick up if it is not a loop trip).
  • Distribute medical release forms to all participants. Minors should have theirs signed by a legal guardian. The leader and alternate should have copies of these forms with them.
  • Select a menu and buy food
  • Pack!
