Never Get Lost Again!
How To Find Your Way
Without Someone Riding Shotgun!
Has this happened to you?
Picture this. You’ve piled the
whole family into the car for a weekend adventure. You are absolutely certain that you know
exactly where you are headed. Yeah
right!
After taking the third wrong turn and ending up miles away from your
destination you finally acquiesce to your partner who is riding shotgun that
maybe you can’t find your way out of a paper bag!
This is the right time to stop and ask for directions (duh) or, perish
the thought, buy a map!
There probably isn’t a single person who drives that hasn’t gone through
some variation of that scenario. The
good news is that the only harm done is arriving at the destination a bit later
than planned.
But, what about those situations where it’s a bit more than just
light-hearted humor? What if you become
lost while hiking a trail in the mountains?
Or, your boating adventure becomes life threatening.
These are situations that are no laughing matter. It happens frequently every year. The headlines have us riveted to the
television screen while we watch rescue workers attempting to save someone from
a treacherous event.
You need to prepare yourself and your loved ones for the unknown
disaster. No one ever ‘plans’ to place
him or herself in a position that requires rescuing. The thing to do is insure that you are always
prepared for any eventuality.
That’s
where “Never Get Lost Again!” comes in. Written in plain English
