Bad choices are the most common risk. These rules will help you avoid bad choices:
TELL SOMEONE WHERE YOU ARE GOING If no one knows where you are, they won’t know you are at risk.
TRAVEL IN PAIRS Travel with a friend to use as a lookout. Traveling alone puts you at risk.
KNOW YOUR ROUTE Life is unpredictable. Plan for this. Needing directions in a risky situation increases risk.
KNOW YOUR SURROUNDINGS Keep an eye on what’s around you. Forgetting to watch your surroundings puts you at risk.
KNOW YOUR FRIENDS Before you depend on someone, be sure you know who they are. Friends reduce risk if they are reliable; if not, they increase risk.
KNOW YOUR EXIT When it’s time to go, know where to go. If you don’t know your exit you put yourself at risk.
