📘 THE BOOK: "The Old Scout Way: Walt's Camping & Fishing Manual" (120 camp and fishing tricks) 📗 ALSO: "The Old Scout Way: Walt's Camp Cooking Manual" (60 tricks for cooking with no kitchen) Get one, or both in a bundle: https://waltscampingsecrets.com I spent thirty-five years as a scoutmaster, and I'm closer to seventy than sixty now. In this video I share 35 safety tricks park rangers teach for anyone who camps alone, and most of them cost pennies. In this video: The $3 whistle, the paper map, airplane mode and a full tank parked by a main road Where to pitch: look up, stay out of dry washes, mark your guy lines Wildlife: the rule of thumb, nothing scented in the tent, a bat in the tent Heat, thirst, cold and your medications after 65 If you fall, get lost or see stroke signs while you're alone The trip plan with a deadline that no ranger can make for you Most of it comes straight from National Park Service and Forest Service safety advice, and where it is really a doctor's call, from the CDC and the National Institute on Aging. Safety: general information, not medical advice. Ask your doctor about your own medications and fluid limits. Never use a flame or fuel-burning heater inside a tent.
