If studying bushes or trees with any type of berry or fruit, or even leaves, do not eat it! Be sure of what it is before consuming. Make sure nothing you eat is poisonous, it will not end well and is a huge safety hazard. Don't eat anything unfamiliar, or probably anything you're studying, it's not a good idea.

Make sure to always be aware of your surroundings. If you're part of a group, stay with your group, it can be very easy to find yourself alone and lost. Be safe and make sure to watch for vehicles if working by a busy road.

Dehydration can cause some serious problems, so make sure to always drink water when working outside.

Let's say you are doing some research somewhere in a forest and as your walking along the trail, with the rest of your group, you come upon an animal, or bear in this scenario. What do you do? According to my research it's best to:
- evaluate the situation
- slowly walk back the way you came
- don't run and keep your eye on the bear to see how it will react
-don't panic!

If you don't follow the safety rules, then you and your health, or even life, can be at risk. By working outside there's a risk of:
- getting skin cancer, if in the sun to long
- getting lost
- getting hit by a vehicle
There are many ways to get hurt while working outside so, make sure to stay smart!
