• Good tip! Never know what can happen! And living in a large state like Alaska, there are never too many places to get lost stranded or injured.
• Thats the best tip. As a retired Coast Guard SAR Controller, the one thing that saved more lives was a good accurate float plan. Leave a plan with someone responsible who will act immediatly upon your non-return. Detail information on persons, location/direction of travel, duration, equipment and date/time of return.
• If we don’t know where to start to look we can’t find you.
• The same goes for people who go boating………lots of stories that don’t end well because nobody knew where to look for them.
• Mixed emotions about telling people where I am…U usually go camping to escape people…. if they know where I am…they may come to find me
• Journey Management. Better to be the person rescued from a dangerous predicament than the the remains accidentally found by others.
• Just put the note on the dashboard of your car or truck.
• Go read the book between a rock and a hard place. I’m sure Aron Ralston wished he had left a note before he left for blue john canyon.
• It would depend on where I was going.
• I don’t want to be safe, I WANT TO BE FREE !!!
• I always provide copies of an itinerary to someone and provide copy’s for people that would be joining me so they can do the same. How can I truly relax and have fun if I didn’t know someone would find my body?
• But also don’t go advertising the fact that you won’t be home for an extended period of time on social media… criminals notice things such as “So excited to go camping all weekend.” When you come back home, you may have bad surprises.
• so good you posted it 3 times
• Are you crazy? The wife might get the vicinity of where I might be. As to when I’ll be back don’t wait up.
• Corny but true: Expect the unexpected.
• One of the most important survival tips you can give. If nobody knows where to look for you, how would anyone ever find you.
• Just leave it with someone – not just at your house…for a number of reasons
• Always!
• So true
• Many never even consider doing that. I make a note and place it on my pillow.
• good idea, thankls
