This website provides an overview for beginning hikers, and as such, is focused on trail hiking and safety in relation to wilderness trail or back country trail travel.
Advanced disciplines such as climbing and cross-country travel are beyond the scope of this website, and no claim is made in that regard.
Information is not intended to take the place of dedicated Basic First Aid/CPR training, or dedicated Map/Compass/GPS Navigation Training. Such training is clearly noted in the text as a requirement before one begins a hike.
