In bear country, never approach or feed wildlife. Carry bear spray and know how to use it. Store food in bear-proof containers or hang it away from your campsite. Make noise while hiking to avoid surprising bears.
Snakes are often non-venomous, but some species are dangerous. Wear protective footwear, avoid tall grass, and learn to recognize local species. If bitten, remain calm, immobilize the limb, and seek immediate medical attention.
Insects, such as ticks and mosquitoes, can transmit diseases. Use repellents, wear long sleeves and pants, and perform thorough checks after exposure. Be aware of allergic reactions to stings and carry emergency medication if needed.
Respecting wildlife, maintaining distance, and following safety protocols ensures memorable and safe outdoor experiences.
