4. Going off-trail
Personally, I’ve wandered off-trail many times, but I’ve never done it without taking some precautionary measures. Most times, we’re doing so in a party of two or more and we have all the supplies we need to make it back. What bothers me the most is that beginners chose not to follow the marked trails. They tend to explore their surroundings by going off-trail without the proper gear. No matter how you look at it, this is one of the hiking mistakes that have only one outcome. People get lost or injured and they aren’t prepared for the consequences.
Though it's common for hikers to wander off the trail, it's not recommended unless it's a trail you've been on several times. Going off the trail in a place such as Yosemite, for example, could lead to a person's death. It's always wise to stay on the trail or if you plan to wander far let someone know — it could prove life-saving.
On the next slide read on to learn about something that not many people consider could threaten their lives, but it can. As a hiker, I'm glad I now know to avoid this mistake!

Hahaha I thought we all was survivalists Im just fine breaking every thing they said shows about the dangers that you really need to watch for …. Predators. …poisonous plants and venomous animals are way more deadly on a hike than any commonsense problems you should be able to get through with basic knowledge

No thanks, click bait website with useless info. I’ll continue hiking unprepared and dehydrated.
And libtard… that’s a buzzword as well.
Me. I think both sides of the political spectrum divide and conquer while they get rich and fat and share taxpayer wealth with the people that invest in their campaigns.
Rule number 11… if you have to go through 10 items on a click bait page to find out the mistakes of hiking… you probably don’t belong in the woods. Ever.
Well I guess adventures have to start somewhere with knowledge. I’d say if your starting here as an adult your way behind the curve though
Click bait
Lol, that dudes face.
6. Don’t try to pet kitty cats in the wild.
7. Don’t try to give a bear a bear hug.
Remember.. all mushrooms in the woods are safe. It’s like a mushroom buffet. Enjoy!

Rule #1- don’t die. The… End…
6. Not taking a gun.
But what if he walks up to me, stands up, and sticks his arms out? It would be rude not to let him hug me, right? Especially when they make those loud roars.
Really? If I want to go hiking I need a smart phone? Apparently you don’t hike where I hike. Used to be bring a topo and a compass. I guess I’m to old to go into the woods these days.
