where to meet emergency personnel. And directions to such a meeting place also should be written down for future reference. Does your camp require access by foot across a creek? How do you get responders and their gear into such locations? How would they transport a patient from the cabin to an ambulance? Responders have ways of overcoming these obstacles, but any challenge you can head off might save precious minutes in a life-or-death situation. Think out the potential problems Checking the flue before building a fire takes only a couple minutes, and it could spare disaster. In case of a fire, hunting cabins also should be equipped with smoke detectors. Check the batteries often. OCTOBER 2020 13
