In our latest Green Noise podcast, we sat down with hiking experts to share important safety insight and guidance to help our fellow hikers have the best experience with limited risk. Keen to know more? From appropriate attire – leaving the flipflops behind, to thorough planning and research, to safety WhatsApp groups for hikers, and suitable weather conditions. After watching our informative video below, you’ll ask yourself: have I included a whistle on my hiking list? Did I apply and pack in my sunscreen? How about a safety number to call – do I know who and what to do when in an emergency while on a trail? 💭 Remember, it’s important to never hike alone, and always alert family and friends about your whereabouts as a proactive safety measure when planning your hiking trips.
