Leave a copy of your itinerary with a responsible person. Include such details as the make, year, and license plate of your car, the equipment you’re bringing, the weather you’ve anticipated, and when you plan to return. If you’ll be going into an area that is unfamiliar to you, speak with those who do before you set out. If an area is closed, it is prohibited to access.
Wear appropriate clothing for the field conditions and season. Check your equipment. Keep your equipment in good working order. Inspect it before your trip. Do not wait until you are already in the field. Be sure to pack emergency signaling devices.
Be weather wise. Keep an eye on current and predicted weather conditions. In this area, weather can change very quickly. Know the signs for approaching storms or changing weather conditions. Avoid bare ridge tops, exposed places, lone trees, streams, and rocks during lightning storms. Find shelter in a densely forested area at a lower elevation. Even during the summer season, exposure to wind and rain can result in hypothermia.
Learn basic first aid. In order to identify and treat injuries and illnesses. Carry a first aid kit with you. Learn how to identify the symptoms of heat exhaustion, heat stroke, hypothermia, and dehydration, and know how to treat them.
Wildlife interaction. HROA provides its Permit Holders access to habitat for wild animals, which can be upset by human presence and can unexpectedly become aggressive. In many areas, individuals may encounter large predatory animals such as bears or cougars while visiting the HROA private and accessible public properties. These animals rarely seek out humans as food, but they will attack under some conditions.
Some hazardous encounters can occur when wild animals raid human property for food. Additionally, many animals will not willingly attack unless they feel threatened or provoked. If Permittees come upon an unsuspecting animal and startles it, it may become defensive and attack. Regularly making loud noise, such as clapping or yelling, reduces the risk of disturbing or startling an animal. Some people use bear bells as noise makers, but these are usually too quiet to be heard from far away.
Any mammal infected with rabies may behave unexpectedly, even aggressively, and could infect a human with rabies by biting. Venomous animals, including snakes, scorpions, spiders and bees, may cause harm either directly or through anaphylactic shock. Overall, the greatest danger is often from insects, such as mosquitoes, ticks and fleas, which carry communicable diseases. For your protection, avoid all contact with all wild animals while on HROA accessible properties.
