Mark Mosher: Rural Areas

Banff National Park Dept: Mark Mosher loves going camping and hiking, but he never sets off on a journey without proper planning, according to Winnipeg Free Press. Mosher makes a point of bringing a map of the trail and the area, which for him is usually in rural areas in B.C. He also makes sure he knows how long he'll be gone for so he can pack enough food and water and a view of Two Jack Lake in Banff National Park is shown in this undated handout. As people across the country flee cities for the relaxation of a camp site over the long weekend, experts are offering urbanites some reminders on how to stay safe while communing with nature. No matter where in Canada you're pitching a tent, they say a little planning goes a long way.
