Notes

If you are planning to spend time in the woods or any outdoor area, it is important to prioritize your safety. Always make sure to bring appropriate gear and equipment, such as sturdy footwear, water, and a map or compass. Be aware of your surroundings and any potential hazards, such as uneven terrain, wildlife, or poisonous plants. It is also recommended to let someone know where you are going and when you plan to return. Remember to always respect the natural environment and leave no trace of your visit. (unless that trace is safe for nature, like rocks, herbs, etc)
Fire safety is of utmost importance when spending time in the woods. It is essential to be aware of any fire restrictions or bans in the area, and to always follow the proper guidelines for starting and maintaining a fire. Make sure to clear the area around the fire pit of any flammable material and to keep a bucket of water or a fire extinguisher nearby. Never leave a fire unattended and make sure to fully extinguish the fire before leaving the area. Remember, a little caution can prevent a big disaster.
