Here are some tips to help you get prepared for your next adventure.

  • Research the area you plan to visit. Texas is a big state, and each region has its own unique features and challenges. Make sure you understand the terrain, weather, and any potential hazards before you set out.
  • Pack accordingly. Bring plenty of water, especially if you’re visiting a desert region. Wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes and dress in layers. Bring sunscreen, a hat, and insect repellent. And don’t forget your camera!

  • Let someone know your plans. It’s always a good idea to let someone know where you’re going and when you expect to return. This is especially important if you’re going solo or heading into a remote area.

  • Respect the environment. Leave no trace and take only memories. Pack out all your trash and be mindful of the local flora and fauna.

  • Be prepared for emergencies. Make sure you have a first-aid kit, a map and compass, and a fully charged phone. It’s also a good idea to carry a whistle and a signaling device, such as a mirror, in case you need to attract attention.

  • Finally, have fun! Texas has so much to offer, from scenic drives to hidden swimming holes. Take it all in and enjoy your adventure!

Until our adventures cross…
