I live in the southeastern part of GA and your tips while helpful for many people, simple doesn’t apply to me or a lot of other Southerners. We still have to contend with snakes, spiders, bugs, and warm weather. Appreciate your experience, effort, and talent. The photos are amazing!

Dear Linda,

Thank you for your patience. In response to your question-

To some degree this will depend on the make of your camera, however I would assume that any glove the has the ability to work with your mobile device screen should work. That said I recommend you purchase the gloves from a vendor who allows returns and test to see if the gloves work on your screen before removing any tags and retain all packaging.

From personal experience I have found that oil general touch screen gloves abilities do wear out easily and are susceptible to dirt and everyday use so I’d advise getting multiple pairs if you plan on active usage.

Any specific suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Dean, thanks for this article, getting ready to go for a winter shoot in a couple weeks. Ive seen freezing fog crystals on trees my whole life but never knew there was a name for it. Also, the tips your readers left were also good. Think Ill invest in some ice grippers for boots. Hope Jermeys dad is healing up. That couldda been a disaster. Happy safe shooting everyone.

If I can add my two cents, always ALWAYS bring some kind of ice gripper for your shoes, even if you think you won’t need it. Me and my dad made that very bad decision back in May out in the Rockies. Forgetting the yaktraks in the car, we got to the trailhead and the snow didn’t seem all that slick, so we opted to not go back and get them. Going up wasn’t bad, but apparently the snow re-froze during the time we were there, and almost as soon as we turned back, my dad slipped and fell and broke his arm. In hind sight feel pretty dumb about it. But that leads me to another tip. On the return hike, we were just slipping and sliding, but, the thought came to my head of something I saw on a survival show. Putting wool socks over your shoes gives you traction. So I had my dad do that and he had no more issues with traction and we got down safely. I thank God for getting us back. If we had brought those grippers it’s likely we wouldn’t of had that happen. Thanks again for the article. God bless.

1. Navigation – map/compass/GPS (map & compass in case GPS batteries die)
2. Sun protection (sunglasses and sunscreen)
3. Headlamp/flashlight (or in Europe, a “torch”)
4. Extra clothing
5. First aid kit
6. Extra food
7. Firestarter
8. Matches + lighter (if matches or lighter fails, one backs up the other)
9. Water/Hydration
10. Protection from the elements (outerwear, emergency blanket)

“Be Prepared” so says the Boy Scouts!
