If
you are heading into the bush please
make sure to let someone know
where you are
going and when you expect to return before
you leave home. It
is a good idea to give them any
contact details, phone numbers (providing phones will
work where you're going to go), map coordinates and copy
of your map/s
providing an estimated area you should be in,
in case they need to contact you or vise versa .
Any further
information you can provide that will assist in the search and rescue
process if need be. If
you are looking for some ideas on what you should take when going
camping or into the outdoors consider the following:

be taken out until you return home! Contains: Signal Mirror, Compass,
