Don't go into any areas marked as private property.
Always have toilet paper, wet wipes, and water in your vehicle.
Always have a first aid kit in your car.
Make sure you know how to change a flat tire with your spare. Make sure you have the proper tools to change a flat tire. (Not likely, but wouldn't hurt).
If you can, map stuff ahead of time while you are connected to the Internet and for safe measure, have an analog map in your car.
Make sure all your fluids are full, if you can, before you go exploring.

Thank you. A friend recommended I keep an impact wrench in the car as well for flats. I’m still looking into options for mapping my location without cell service. I’ve lived in a city most of my life so I’m just trying to prepare. Much prefer being in nature more! Thanks again

If you are familiar with google maps you can actually download an area on the map and use navigation offline.

Yes I was hoping if I got off track on a hike the offline map could give me an idea of where I was
