>>393489Not helpful.
>>393495Not useful to 99.99% of people in 99.99% of situations. Also, not a very informed statement.
>>393500This is only useful for after someone fucked up.
>>393502What a loving way to say "I do."
>>393503Why would that matter?
>>393507Probably solid advice. I can't tell. There's too much misinformation about snake bites out there. What I have learned is to simply not panic, get to a hospital, and you will be fine.
>>393572Terrible fucking advice. What if you see nothing? Then you just wore yourself out scaling a mountain for nothing.
>>393602I strongly doubt that you can positively identify any of the plants in that picture.
>>393836Your picture doesn't really back up what you say in your post. The Amazon could swallow up most of the countries in Europe.

These posts all have good advice:

1. Plan every step of your trip thoroughly. Look at the maps before you go, research the area online or in guidebooks, know where you will find water, where you will camp, and which direction civilization is. Anticipate the major problem situations and have a Plan B and C to deal with each one. For example, know what you will do, before you go, if the temperature drops too low at night and you start shivering uncontrollably in your sleeping bag. Having a plan to stay in your sleeping bag and continue shivering can save your life, if the alternative is to become delirious from hypothermia and lay *on top of* your sleeping bag (many hypothermia victims have been discovered dead this way). Weather, gear failures, food/water, etc.
2. Bring extra water on all your trips. Even if you know your own needs, a friend or a stranger may not know theirs.
3. Bring a relatively detailed trail map and compass, *and know where you are on the map at all times*.
4. Generally, don't leave out too many, if any, of the Ten Essentials, even if you're just going on a day hike.
