With the holidays just around the corner, most of us have planned vacations somewhere. Some of us even have plans to go on an adventure just for the sake of having fun during the holidays. Just remember that since the holidays are supposed to be happy and fun times, you have to take safety very seriously.

When we plan our adventures, we usually include safety measures to increase our chances of survival. However, during the holidays, it just isn't enough to have just the essentials. We have to go beyond our normal preparation and step up our safety precautions. The best way to do this is to increase our visibility so that rescue parties can get to us right away. We can do this by packing attention flags and strobe lights. This means that if we do get lost, people can find us easily regardless of time.

The next thing that you have to think about would have to be the exact specifications of the safety gear that you will be bringing along. For instance, you might want your strobe lights to be bright enough for people to see. You'll also want them to last as long as possible so that you can be sure that people can spot them even after you've been lost for a long time. The same holds true for attention flags. You'll want them to contrast the colors of the environment that you are in. If they blend with the environment, you will be very difficult to spot.
