Field Notes
Three Useful Reminders
Small habits that protect the place, the equipment and the people sharing the day.
- 0101
Leave the first plan with someone
Share the route, expected return and the point when a delay becomes a concern.
- 0202
Pack for the stop, not the start
Weather changes after the body cools. Dry layers matter most when the activity ends.
- 0303
Carry out more than you carried in
A clean place is the simplest form of respect for the next person.
