Show Notes
Communication. Planning. Safety Nets.
Communicate with your family/friends from home about your location and dates...
But also, communicate with Fish & Game and/or Forest Service in the area you plan to go.
Plan for the weather. Plan for poor circumstances. Plan for the worst, so when it happens, you're not up Shit's Creek without a paddle.
Fitness. The single largest safety net a mountain hunter can give themselves. The highest quality gear doesn't make your two legs, heart, and lungs function any better. If you can't physically go, you're stuck in the situation. At that point, hopefully you've invested in solid gear to get your through the sticky situation.
Imagine if you'd invested in your health/fitness prior to the hunt though?
