(HealthDayNews) -- If you're headed to the country for a hunting weekend, the American College of Emergency Physicians offers some basic safety guidelines:
- Never hunt alone, and always let someone know where you're going and when you'll return.
- Wear proper clothing to prevent exposure to cold, illness, insect bites, and poisonous plants.
- Plan for an unexpected night outdoors in the worst weather.
- Carry a survival pack that includes high-calorie food, a waterproof fire starter, a compass, map, and a first aid kit.
