Shark Attack! How to Survive and Live to Tell the Tale
Check with the state fishing regulations for exact dates and detailed fishing information, including proper license requirements. Some fishing opportunities will require overnight backcountry use permits. It is always important to respect the park you are fishing in, in order to maintain the quality waters that protect the natural fish populations and food sources for bald eagles, ospreys and otters among others.
Camping is usually done at an official campsite, where the campers usually pay a small fee to use grounds that are preserved especially.
Where to go is the big decision. Some are lucky enough to live near national parks.These are national parks because they are very special areas.
Nature is everywhere, so you don't need to travel far for your camping trip. You can journey to a national park, drive to a local campground, or pitch a tent in your own backyard.
Shark Attack! How to Survive and Live to Tell the Tale
In 1945, the USS Indianapolis was sunk by Japanese torpedoes in the Pacific. There were about 1,000 men who survived the sinking and when rescuers finally came after several days, there were only 317 left. Most of those who died were attacked by tiger sharks.
Sharks belong to hundreds of species out of which only about 20 of those species are known to attack man. Some of the most notorious are the great white, bull, blue, hammerhead, tiger, mako and even the nurse shark.
Sharks rarely warn about their coming attack and they do not have a pattern, which makes them very unpredictable creatures of prey. They are also highly complex.
Sharks don’t take nips. They bite and tear the skin, take a limb or a big chunk of flesh. And victims don’t die right away. They simply bleed to death.
If ever you find yourself in an area of open water with a shark, just assume the worst and don’t take chances. Ever! Get out of the water fast, get on the boat or head for shore.
Swim with a group. A group means more eyes to watch and if a shark comes, the group can work together to either fight it off or frighten it away. A group can scare a shark better than a single individual.
Remember to do your research, read as much information as possible and make sure to buy that camping gear through a reputable online merchant at an affordable price.
Cross country skiing is another popular way for the entire family to visit and see beautiful winter landscapes. Many parks have several excellent trails available for cross country skiing. Several National Parks will offer novice, intermediate and advanced trails for skiing.
Camping is relatively inexpensive, often nostalgic, and gives campers a chance to really appreciate their natural world.

Once your kids (and you) recover from the shock of having no television or Internet access, you'll all have an eye-opening experience.
Do as you would in a pool. Do not urinate. But if you must, urinate only in small amounts and let it mix with the water in between. And don’t vomit either. If a shark is swimming towards you, create noises by yelling and splashing the water. Repeatedly yelling and slapping underwater may also help, but make sure you use your energy efficiently. You might need it to fight off the shark in case it decides to ignore your warnings.
If the shark begins attacking, strike back. Kick or punch its eyes or gills. These are the areas that can hurt it most. Hitting it on the nose might help, but you could miss and hit its teeth instead.
When a shark has already attacked, the first thing to do is to control or stop the blood. Blood in the water will attract more sharks and provoke aggression. If you are in a group, circle the victim while attempting to stop the flow of blood.
If you are on a raft or boat, fight off the shark with everything that you have until it swims away. Use common sense and assume the worst when in the water. If you survive an attack, you can live and swim with sharks another day. But I doubt it.
Just like your old scoutmaster used to say, "Always be prepared". Make a list and check it three times before you leave on your camping trip.
Apart from being submerged in wilderness, an important component of camping is the interaction with the localities, villagers and natives. These native guides know the unexplored places, the less traveled paths, the unknown facts, myths and stories about the locations. It is a good idea to know what you should and should not do when coming across animals. Parks often will have signs up if animals have been sighted in the campground.
Whatever activity you decide to enjoy, it is always wise to do a little research to know ahead of time what to expect, always check what the weather conditions will be to avoid any dangerous situations.
