  2. Physical Hazards in the Environment These are some of the Physical Hazards in the Environment that you may encounter in the Outdoors: • Terrain and conditions • e.g., avalanche, wind, ice, swamp, road conditions, etc. • Wildlife and plants that may be encountered in outdoor expeditions • e.g., bears, bees, ticks, non-edible wild plants • Changes in weather conditions that may affect personal and group safety • Wind, water conditions, etc.

  4. Wildlife and Plants encountered… • Smaller animals actually present more of a threat to the survivor than large animals. To compensate for their size, nature has given many small animals weapons such as fangs and stingers to defend themselves. Each year, a few people are bitten by sharks, mauled by alligators, and attacked by bears. • Most of these incidents were in some way the victim's fault. However, each year more victims die from bites by relatively small venomous snakes than by large dangerous animals. Even more victims die from allergic reactions to bee stings. For this reason, we will pay more attention to smaller and potentially more dangerous creatures. These are the animals you are more likely to meet as you unwittingly move into their habitat, or they slip into your environment unnoticed. • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ge1u4EAqIoY
