Here are a few I learned over the years.

- If you have trekking poles (aluminum or carbon fiber) ditch them at least 50 feet away and do NOT leave them standing and upright in the ground and also ensure that the poles ends are not directly facing you.

- If on a mountain bike, drop it and get at least 50' away from it
.
- Ditch (if possible) any type of mountain climbing gear. This not practical if your climbing out on face of a cliff that you cannot readily get down off the cliff face.

- Sitting on a backpack that has any type of fuel stored in it is NOT recommended....self explanatory.
