Prevention
Identification
If something does happen to you, the emergency personnel will want
to know who you are and whom to contact. It’s possible you may be
in no condition to give them that information. Put your I.D. in your
pocket before you ride. Without it, you’re anonymous.
Cellular Phone
It may be necessary to make an urgent phone call.
Maps/GPS (Global Positioning System)
Maps may be unnecessary when you’re familiar with the area. But
when you’re riding on unfamiliar trails, it’s good to know where you
are, what’s coming up, and how to get back.
Emergency Kit with Flashlight and First Aid
Kit
You’ll need several items in your Emergency
Kit including a flashlight. The matches will
come in handy if you need to start a fire to
stay warm. Flares are appropriate for signal-
ing help. A first aid kit is very important if an
injury of some type should happen. A good
First Aid Kit should include bandages, anti-
septic spray, gauze, tape, etc.
Carry these items:
1. Flashlight
2. Matches
3. Flares
4. First Aid Kit
5. Money
