What If...

What if you encounter something that's not so expected or pleasant while outdoors? How do you take care of each scenario? With about 3 million residents in Orange County, there's no way every one of those people knows how to handle every single situation that they may encounter while venturing into the wilderness, whether it be a quick visit to nature or a long hike. Here are some scenarios that you may have happen and the best ways to counter each scenario based on my experiences and professional insight. Of course, statistically, the most dangerous species you can encounter on a trail is a human. This doesn't mean every human is bad, of course most people you'll encounter in the outdoors are friendly and just there to appreciate nature but humans overall are the most dangerous threat to other humans. With that being said, people tend to fear many other things that are much less dangerous but there are pretty simple ways to avoid them.
