The first thing anyone who is planning a hiking, camping, canoeing or other type of trip should do is let someone know what their plans are. Bring a cellphone in case you need to call 911 for an emergency. Once you’ve realized you’re off a marked trail just sit down and relax. If you become injured in the woods stay calm and try to assess your injuries. Carrying some sort of first aid kit is always strongly recommended.
