ADDED INFO NOT PRESENT IN ORIGINAL SERIES
*Permethrin is toxic to cats
*When removing a tick, make sure the tick’s head isn’t still attached to your skin
*Water filter can be damaged if frozen. To prevent filter from freezing overnight, keep the filter in a ziplock bag with you in your sleeping bag.
*Difference between Water Filter and Purifier: Water filter removes bacteria, but the pore size is too big to remove viruses. A mechanical purifier has small enough pores to filter out viruses.
*Section Added to First Aid: Hyperthermia aka heat exhaustion. Summary: avoid hiking in prime heat of day, take breaks, be mindful of the level of humidity. High humidity compromises your body’s ability to sweat and your sweat’s ability to evaporate and cool your body down. Carry an umbrella in exposed areas.
Signs of hyperthermia: rapid pulse, signs of exhaustion, losing consciousness, rapid shallow breathing, headache, nausea, dizziness, weakness.
