Posted: Sun Feb 24, 2019 10:18 pm
There are a number of things to be considered before trekking in the woods as we discuss here. This list should help you research your areas more effectively, ensuring that you havsn't forgotten any important details.
1) Is the area you are entering heavily regulated? Are dispersed fires and off-trail, non-established campsites legal? Is firewood collecting allowed?
2) Will you have water available to you? Will you need to purify it?
3) Is any wild game you plan to pursue actively in its legal hunting or fishing season? Are you licensed to pursue said quarry, and do you have a way to carry your necessary licenses? Do your primitive broadheads fit your state standards for size, shape, and material? Check here
4) Can you get in trouble for carrying weapons in your chosen area? Are there statewide restrictions on the open or concealed carrying of bladed weapons that your current kit may infringe upon or outright break? Check here
5) Is there a map available for your chosen area? Get one.
6) Lastly...are you having trouble finding an area that won't be over-crowded like a state park? Start here!
