It's important to inform your family about your hiking plans for safety reasons. In case of an emergency, they will know your whereabouts and can alert authorities if you don’t return on time. Sharing your route and expected return time also helps ensure that someone is aware of your activities and can provide assistance if needed. Effective communication enhances safety and peace of mind for both you and your loved ones.

Be wary of going hiking for a weekend with a man you have not known for long. It is better to get to know this man in your own familiar surroundings; letting your family and friends meet him before ever going away with him. Women have to be so careful for safeties sake. No, he is not testing you and means what he says. Don't be afraid to let him know that you want to get to know him a little better before going away with him. If he has a problem with that too bad, but if he is a true gentleman he will understand.

family is important because they will always be there for you no matter what happens.
