Don't assume your hiking partners are experienced. Ask them about their gear, experience, preferences, and plans. If they are vague, boastful, or offended by these questions, they are probably inexperienced and you will need to make allowances.   kellyjones00 (593)

Check an experienced guidebook for advice before attempting a walk into remote wilderness areas. Don't assume their advice doesn't apply to you.   kellyjones00 (593)

Water from wilderness highland lakes and tarns is generally safe to drink. Higher-altitude and faster-moving waters are safest. Smell it.   kellyjones00 (593)

Every member of a walking party needs to be as observant as if they are leading. Otherwise, if the leader makes a mistake and gets lost, everyone is lost.   kellyjones00 (593)

Use your "landscape eyes" to see your overall route in the land, rather than following the foot pads made by others. Even if you never leave their track and practice low-impact bushwalking, imagine your route. It is much more interesting to be immersed this way.   kellyjones00 (593)
