I strongly suggest that we use some of our collective experience to give some training to our beginners.
Choose a topic that suits you and write something meaningful based on your experience to help. You guys have written comments about these things - write a thread:
Tom D - you could write about how to orient a map
Old ranger you could write about staying found
Wandering Daisy you could write about planning a trip
Mouse you could write about realistic expectations and pacing
Food you could write about how to cook over alcohol
Pika you could write about travel on ice
Glenn how about realistic clothes and rain gear
Trail runner - about avoiding SAR
Sorry if I didn't address you other experienced people, I mean no slight. Pick a topic close to your heart, or a piece of advice that has saved your butt. Some dos and don'ts. People come here seeking advice, give them something really valuable to take away. Pretend that the readers are people who will be camping with you next week and have never gone camping and you want them to come home in one piece and you don't want to carry them.
