i’ve seen a lot of safety posts but a lot of them revolve around pokemon hunting in urban areas. i noticed a few safety issues when i was out today so…
- know your local wildlife and know what to do if you encounter something (it’s pretty reasonable to believe someone would run into a coyote or bear depending on where you live)
- be careful in tall grass. all sorts of stuff lives in there. if you plan to hunt in tall grass, wear long pants and boots if you can.
- watch out for snakes!
- keep an eye out for nests or dens on the ground. you don’t want to crush any baby critters.
- if there’s little tree cover, wear a hat that will cover your ears, or put sunscreen on your ears.
- hunting near water is fun, but watch out for mud so you don’t slide in
- don’t litter. this isn’t related to the post i just wanted to say it. leave nature alone. take only pokemon, leave only footprints.
feel free to add onto this with your local safety tips!
Before someone from the city starts mocking this post–the first point is very very relevant for me. If I walk too late at night on the wrong side of town, there is a good chance I’ll run into a pack of coyotes. Not fun at all.
