Meet Me Outdoors: Safety

http://meetmeoutdoors.blogspot.com/p/safety-tips.html

It is time to leave the indoor life and go explore the outdoors. Let's have an adventure. Before you go outdoors here are somethings you should know and have with you. Put on sunblock and bug spray before leaving. Take a water bottle full of water. Tell someone where you are going and when you expect to be back. Take basic first-aid supplies, or know where to go in case you need them. Sunny/Partly Cloudy means take sunglasses and hat. Chance of Rain/Snow means bundle up and wear boots.
