Re: Camping safety?
Your asking good questions. Just be smart when camping and backpacking. Try not to leave things or gear out. If they want your gear they will take it or in case of animals will get in it. Reading articles and combining information. some interesting facts are out there. Over 25 million people visit state parks every year. On average there are
25,000 trouble reports. And those include loose pets, loud noise, and domestic disputes. the number one cause of injury was snowmobile accidents. Domestic disputes occur more than theft.
Your more likely to get biten by ticks or spiders or fall and hurt yourself than almost anything else. (Which is why if you do a search on camping safety, first aid is usually up there in the information)
We have hiked from the car in a number of states and just don't leave things out. Be aware of your surroundings while parking and hiking. (We were more worried about bears in the smoky's and snakes in Texas, than thieft.)
Now go out and enjoy nature :cool:
