Nature hazard awareness
Outdoor safety refers to practices and precautions that minimize risk during activities in natural environments—hiking, camping, swimming, hunting.
It encompasses preparation (checking weather, bringing proper gear), awareness of hazards (wildlife, terrain, water conditions), and emergency response skills.
The ranger gave a talk on outdoor safety before the group set out.
