Sure thing! Here are three different ways to answer that question:

"I always make sure to tell someone where I'm going and when I plan to be back. It's super important to have a buddy system or at least keep someone in the loop. Plus, I carry a first aid kit and some extra snacks, just in case!"

[VanessaLittle]

"I stick to marked trails and keep an eye on the weather. If it looks like it’s gonna rain or get stormy, I’ll turn back. Also, I always bring a map and a compass because my phone isn’t reliable out there!"
