2 Always have a reliable compass so you can follow any given directions
without reference to your immediate surroundings
3 Have a buddy system: do not go jungle trekking alone
4 Get to know the trail first (e.g. the length of the trail, the level
of difficulty, the entrance & exit points) before starting your journey
5 Get a reliable map with clear signs and directions of the trail
6 Inform family members of your 'trekking plans (e.g. duration of the
trip, expected time to be out of trait)
7 Get a guide if you are not familiar with the treks
8 If the trip is divided into smaller groups, allow each group to have a
walkie talkie, if possible
9 For big groups, have a leader in front and two sweepers at the back.
Sweepers ensure no one is left behind
