Mountain safety is essential for anyone venturing into the wilderness. Before heading out, it's important to check the weather conditions and prepare for sudden changes. Always carry a map, compass, or GPS device, and let someone know your planned route and expected return time. Wearing appropriate clothing and footwear can help prevent injuries and keep you comfortable. While hiking, stay on marked trails to avoid getting lost and respect wildlife by observing from a distance. Carry enough food and water, and know how to recognize signs of altitude sickness. In case of emergencies, having a first aid kit and knowing basic survival skills can make a significant difference.
