WELCOME

Adventures into the wilderness are exciting, relaxing, and very rewarding.  They can vary from a short outing of only a few hours to a multi-week expedition; from a hot desert environ to a cold winter excursion; from the altitude of remote mountains to several atmospheres in the depths of the ocean.  Regardless of the number of days, destination, or activity involved, trip preparation must include obtaining an appropriate knowledge base of information prior to departure to ensure a safe and pleasure throughout the journey.

WildernessWise is designed to provide information that will increase the knowledge base for anyone choosing to spend time in the out-of-doors.  I encourage you to look at the pages that interest you and increase your awareness of what safety in the backcountry is all about.

I invite you to write me with ideas that have made your trip safer, easier, or simply more fun.  If you have a photo of a unique wilderness event, please send it, along with the story, and I will share it with others.  If you have questions regarding any aspect of adventures in the backcountry, please write me.  If I don’t know the answer, I will research it and find the answer for you.    

BE safe, PREPARE well, HAVE fun in the out of doors! Become...
