This way, everybody is involved in keeping the group safe and sound. Assign a leader who will act as a facilitator and will take charge in securing your safety. Hand over the medical kit to one group and food and water to another group. Delegate tasks to several other teams such as finding a nearest resting place, looking out for insects or snakes and other dangerous animals to warn other teams, seeking water source, and one team should handle the map or a GPS device.

Do some research about the place, ask the locals about the humidity and other paths towards the top of the certain mountain. It is also better if you have a tour guide with you, especially on your first try, so that you have somebody who has sufficient knowledge about the place and avoid getting lost. And just in case of emergencies, bring a First-Aid kit filled with stuff designed to treat minor wounds, scratches and sprains.
