Before You Go Hiking Learn These Safety Tips
Hiking is a great outdoor pastime. It is a perfect way to keep fit and also enjoy the scenery. Here are a few tips to ensure your cross country adventures go as planned. Have at lest one companion with you at all times, never be alone. If you're any distance further than 5-8 hours from the closest house, travel in a group of 3-4. Check a map and plan your route, leave somebody back home with your destination and expected tome of arrival.Click through here for more information on pentax binoculars.
Know your limitations, and those of your hiking party. Know what the weather is going to be like before you leave. When packing, think about the essentials first. Be sure to have plenty of dry clothes in a waterproof backpack. Every member of your team must carry a survival kit. It needs to be lightweight and be able to cover basic emergency needs like waterproof matches, map and compass, a metallic signalling device such as a mirror, a whistle, nylon rope, a sharp knife, and a waterproof first-aid kit.You can obtain more information on swarovski binoculars here.
Your group needs at least one flashlight, with spare batteries or a crank flashlight that does not require batteries. Carry a small axe in a sheath on your waist, it will also come in handy. It is also a good ides to have a length of fishing line with a few extra hooks. I find it can't hurt to be prepared and it's no extra weight to carry. Always be sure your water supply is ample and include emergency food such as chocolate, dried fruit, and trail mix is a great nourishing snack while on the trail.
Other safe hiking tips include, wear seasonal clothes, broken in waterproof hiking boots, sunglasses, lip balm, and if you can afford it a handheld GPS unit. You can obtain more information on bird watching binoculars here.
Whilst not a safety tip - remember to enjoy the scenery while you are hiking and enjoy watching the birds and other wildlife - just do it with safety!

What should I wear to a Lil' Wayne concert?
I am thinking of wearing a "Camelbak" backpack (the ones that hold the water) to stay hydrated, a pair of steal toe boots in case of an emergency ( i hear these concerts get pretty rowdy), and a camo outfit so I can blend in and be able to get onto the stage without being noticed..
Is this okay?
