Hiking - Blog Posts
Man, I LOVE Poland. It's the best. It really surprised me how great it is for hiking. They hike differently to how we do in the UK. In Wales especially you usually carry everything you need on your back, in Europe, you do more day trips. I guess that enables you to do more climbing though vs long distance trecking. Will be back for sure.
also, don't go running around if you don't know the terrain is safe. falling is bad, and falling on something sharp or poisonous is worse. and even when you know there's no slopes, pits, or brambles ahead, still keep an eye on the ground. it's really easy to get caught on a root and sprain your ankle.
at the near spring and summer I'd like to remind y'all something: be careful when you go out in the woods. it means:
don't eat or touch any unfamiliar berries and mushrooms – take someone who knows or use guides. its always more interesting to explore together or play a scientist!
collect bones and feathers through a plastic bag and be sure to disinfect or boil it when you'll get home – various germs can survive even a rough winter inside of it.
you found a nest or den? oh it has cubs? great! watch and take photos from a big distance and take care to not disturb the animals! and i greatly beg – do not collect cubs or animals. the cubs are usually not as alone as you see, and if you see a wounded animal then call to rehab. you won't be able to raise or properly care for an one.
take a snack and a drink – eating things from the ground and drinking unboiled water is dangerous.
always have someone with you or at least tell someone where you are going – various dangers lurk in the woods.
