Safety and Survival: Why you should learn to save lives
While studying for my remote wilderness first-aid qualification, an older guide shared a harrowing experience from his youth. He recounted a seemingly simple afternoon trip that nearly cost him and his companions their lives. Lost in the woods and out of fuel, they spent a night under a wet snowstorm, wearing damp clothes and without fire. The next day, they were rescued by helicopter, one of them suffering from hypothermia. This ordeal taught him to never venture out again without essential survival gear and equipment.
If you only read one section, it must be this one. I will teach you safety and survival so you can make the best of any dangerous situations while moto-camping.
