HIKING - SLIP SLIDING
AWAY
Most all seasons present conditions
that make hiking trails treacherous.
Although a well-crafted pair of hiking boots may help prevent
slip-sliding away, accidents are never planned.
During such weather conditions,
always exercise The Buddy Plan and the 'I think I'll take along
my cell phone along' plan - although in some rural areas, Mr. Cell
Phone may not work. Even so, it just might!
If you find that you just can't
wait until the slippery conditions subside, be certain to put on
the following safety gear: teeth guard, knee pads, a soft pillow
tied
around buttocks, neck brace, leather gloves (they just look sexy),
sunglasses (ditto), earmuffs (although these may downplay sexiness,
they will protect the ears) and a steel breastplate.
And yes, those are
available in size 32 D's but I have no idea how I know this. One
more thing before heading out: slip on your 'I'm an idiot' hiking
shirt. You'll look ultra cool in the new's rescue photo.
