Mental Preparation-

Before you go out in the wilderness you need to think about....
 

What can go wrong?

What is the most likely way someone can get hurt?

What should be brought to keep these accidents from happening and if they do how do I fix the problem?.

A common problem experienced while backpacking is blisters. Before you leave, you decide to bring mole skin to make sure that if anyone develops a blister, it can be treated. This way the group is not slowed down by one person. This type of planning should be employed for all types of scenarios.
