Electrical hazards: Be careful around the Lamp Post Cache (LPC) or high voltage boxes. This may be the time to just Move On because even though electricity is our friend- it can kill in large doses. It’s also a good idea to keep an ear out for the buzzing of an electrified fence.
Cell phones should be part of the equipment that is taken when caching alone. Sometimes it is difficult to keep a good signal. My wife worries that I will fall and break a leg and I won’t be able to get help out of a bad situation. Stay in touch and always let someone know where you are going and when you plan on returning. I break this rule all the time. I know it is pretty dumb and will probably bite me in the butt one day.
Recognize your limits and constantly evaluate your situation. Always consider temperature, darkness, weather, time and distance. If the situation is not safe at the time, like there is a swarm of bee’s just inches away from the cache, walk or run away and come back another day, it should still be there later. If you're allergic to bee stings, take your epi-pen. If you can learn when to move on you can save yourself loads of trouble
