What to Know

A walk through the woods can be an easy, beautiful, and peaceful outing. However, winter outings of any length require preparation and understanding of basic outdoor safety. Even a short walk can introduce safety factors such as lack of cell coverage, terrain challenges, and isolation. To be prepared for a winter outing, you should know the following:

  • The length, terrain, and conditions (e.g., snow depth) of trail you are going to.

  • What gear you'll need (e.g., footwear, clothing, first aid).

  • How much food and water you'll need.

Being prepared is the best way to ensure a fun and safe winter outing. Want to learn more? Consult the resources below for more information.
