Common Sense Hiking Tips

The summer of 2011 has been the worst summer for fatalities at Yosemite National Park. We complied some common sense hiking tips for your use:

Being an avid hiker sometimes you just want to hike the wilderness alone. Here are some common sense tips I have cultivated.

Before leaving home I write on a notepad where I am starting my hike at with the date and time.

Have your cell phone charged and ready to go

No matter the weather I wear or pack my outdoor hat & an extra set of wool socks.

Carry a shrill sounding whistle around your neck. I’ve never needed to use mine, but, I have been told many times that it scares away the mountain lions and coyotes.

I hike with a 15 lb. backpack that includes 2 portable dog bowls for my children; i.e. a matched set of black and tan Dobermans!

Plenty of water, a few pouches of dog food, 2 protein bars, sunscreen, camera, binoculars, a trail map if I am in unfamiliar terrain and a jacket if necessary. If you go off trail as I do, be very careful. You may want to bring something to clear the brush.

Often times hiking with dogs can attract wild animals. Buy a  sturdy spike collar for your pooch. If they are attacked their neck will be protected.

If hiking where mountain lions have been seen, it is advisable to carry some type of “protection” and not in your backpack. Pepper spray, etc. should be kept in a fanny pack around your waist.  Trust me, by the time you get into your backpack you’ll probably be dinner for the lion!

Lastly, if you are in a really remote area I recommend marking your trail with a little pile of rocks or twigs. Something that will be noticed if you do get lost.

Most important of all observe the signs and the rules. As we all know it could cost you your life if you don’t.

Dog Days of Summer are Here!

The National Weather Service issued heat advisories for parts of 15 states Thursday, nearly all in the South, stretching from Southern California to North Carolina. Suffocating heat continues to grip much of the South.

During the Dog Days of Summer exercise your family pets in the cool of early morning or in the evening

Provide plenty of fresh water

Provide shade for your furry friends. This does NOT mean putting them in the garage, either!

If the temperature approaches 100 degrees try and keep them indoors. Dogs don’t have the sweat glands that we have, and their body temperature runs from 100.5 to 102.5. Large dogs and older dogs are at greater risk.

Use a kiddie pool for your dogs to cool off in

Under no circumstances take them on errands

A few weeks ago I zipped to the post office, parked under a tree, had bowls of water in the pickup, and the windows were rolled down. I was gone about 10 minutes and when I got back to the pickup I was panicked that my two Perfect Dobermans, Cleopatra and Caesar where laying the backseat panting like crazy.  

I learned my lesson; until the weather cools off they’ll just have sleep in the guest bedroom!

Another suggestion- put some ice cubes in their water dish. Cleo and Caesar love it!
