Outdoor activities usually mean activities done in nature away from civilization, such as hill walking,
trekking, canoeing, puning, kayaking, rafting, climbing, caving, and arguably broader groups such as water
sports and snow sports. Other similar activities include photography, cycling, kayaking or just spending time
with family.
Outdoor activities may be pursued for the purposes of enjoying scenery and nature, relieving stress,
finding peace in nature, enjoying life and relaxing. They are alternatives to expensive forms of tourism.
Outdoor activities are also frequently used as a medium in education and team building.
Any outdoor activity entails many risks, even if participants do not recklessly place themselves in harm's
way. Even a simple accident may create a dangerous situation that requires survival skills. However, with
the correct precautions, outdoor recreation can be enjoyable and safe
Every hazard has its own safety measure, and every ailment a particular remedy. A standard precaution for
all back country activities is carrying the "ten essentials", a collection of tools chosen for their utility in
preventing or reacting to various emergencies.
The common practice of traveling in a group improves safety in all regards. If one person is injured, group
members can administer first aid or seek help. A group can avoid poor decisions that a lone traveler might
make. If an emergency occurs, a group can pool its muscle power, brain power, and body heat.
Another precaution is informing people outside of the hiking group of the itinerary and expected return
time. (Expected hiking time can be estimated using Naismith's Rule.) A communication device, such as a cell
phone or a satellite phone, may help in the case of an emergency. However cell phone coverage in
wilderness areas is often quite poor
