Summer is the time for inexperienced folks to get lost in the woods. There are some simple dos and don’ts that can help keep this from happening. Find out your groups rules if you need to stop and answer a call of nature. Have a compass, a map of the trail and a whistle. Immediately stop walking once you realize you are lost don’t walk any further. Start blowing your whistle, and consult your map.
Absolutely. My husband was a serious back packer in his younger days and we talk about that every time we read about a lost hiker. He would probably add to stick an energy bar in your pocket as well just in case.
I would think pointers about swimming would benefit a lot more of our chevra than backpacking.
UJM: Agreed. Don’t swim in the woods without a compass and whistle.
A gutten shabbos.How about taking a phone that has waze so that if you can’t find your way back you can always call for help
Smartphone GPS can send you down dangerous hiking trails.
Oh cut it out! There are gps phones with filtets. The intelligent response is that there is little service
PSA for driving this summer,
Dont drink and drive, you may hit a bump and spill your drinkThere are plenty of Apps for trail hiking that will guide you when Google maps and GPS can’t help you. Download a trail hiking app before setting out.
B’zman shenichnas August (and bein hazmanim) CR posters are marbim b’useless information and uninformed guidance for the perplexed. Instead, we should all be preparing for the big My Pillow Guy “Cyber Symposium” in Sioux Falls, SD on August 10th at which time the world’s “Greatest Cyber Forensic Experts” will prove that the Chinese Communist Party electronically changed millions of Trump votes to Biden. As a result, the Supreme Court will order Biden to resign and restore Trump to the Presidency. This mind-blowing Trumpian asifa will be “one of the most-watched events in human history,” says Lindell (presumably he meant other than the 2016 Trump inauguration).
Guys, go open your own silly thread. This one actually had a point.
Do most of the frum camps offer swim instruction? Otherwise, how do talmidim who don’t go to camp learn to swim or otherwise learn basic outdoor skills? I suspect most yeshivos in the NY metro area have pools in their buildings or even have access arrangements to public pools to offer swim instruction. Day trips on chol hamoed really don’t provide an opportunity to develop the type of skills the OP was focused on.
if your going to be busy with PSAs how about one about driving outside the city? roads are narrow, you have poor sight distance and wildlife out there. every year we hear about some accidents with cars, this year being no execption, BH none fatal
