Get Home

1. Plot your route from work to your home. Determine distance, terrain and time both mounted (car) and unmounted (walking). Using a map or google find alternative routes in case of highway closure.
2. As the season changes this is a good time of year to review your Get Home bag and Rucksack. Take out the winter gear and put in Spring/Summer equipment. Make sure you have what you will need to travel both your main route and your alternative route(s).

3. Take your bag and hike. If you can try walking your alternative route from work to home. If that is not possible measure the distance and find a similar place to practice. Make sure you can make the hike!
