Mountain Biking Safety Rules
Stuff You Need In A Mountain Cabin
If you have an all wheel drive vehicle that can take you into a remote area, there’s nothing more refreshing than a vacation in a backwoods cabin. With a little careful pre-planning, you can have the wilderness adventure of a lifetime.
You’re going to have to think about what you’re going to eat and how much food you’re going to need to take with you. If you think that you’ll be able to live off all the fish you’re going to catch, you’ll probably be disappointed. The last thing you want to do is spend half of every day driving to the nearest town for supplies.
Start you meal planning with the basic necessities. Assuming you are going to a remote mountain cabin, you also have to assume it won’t have electricity. You will have to take foods that don’t require refrigeration. Take canned foods, but don’t limit it to that. Pasta and pasta sauces go a long way and you never get sick of them.
There are a lot of other foods you can take, too. Many types of gourmet cheeses last a long time without refrigeration. You won’t want to take bread, since it will spoil, so take a variety of crackers with you. You might even want to take corn and wheat flour and try your hand at making chapatis and tortillas.
There won’t be a TV in your remote getaway. If that makes you panic, going without the boob tube for awhile will do you good. Remember that dreadnought acoustic guitar you bought awhile ago and never used? This will be your chance to use it. You can while away the hours practicing and then have singalongs in front of the fire at night.
Don’t forget to take your poulan chainsaw with you, either. You can give it a good workout every day, cutting firewood from deadwood that will be lying around in the woods. You might even want to try your hand at chainsaw sculpture. Just be sure you are very careful and adhere to all rules of chainsaw safety.
Do you have a mountain bike? Be sure to take it with you, along with your bicycle helmet. When you go out riding, wear your helmet. It could save your life. If you don’t have a helmet, buy one. Instead of getting a black helmet, consider getting a high visibility helmet for that extra bit of safety.
If you plan it right in advance, you’ll have a fantastic time in your cabin in the woods. Make a checklist of everything you need, from your survival gear, to your recreational gear and for entertainment. If you’ve got those, you’ve got everything you need.
