Do trips into Death Valley National Park require any special physical skills if I use the dirt roads in addition to pavement? Do I need to be in perfect health?
Always remember that you will be out in the wilds of the planet, sometimes very far away from any medical assistance, so if you are in doubt as to your health, please consult your personal physician prior to attempting a trip Do not compromise your personal safety – if you have heart disease, diabetes, asthma, epilepsy, or other potentially threatening conditions, please be sure that someone in your vehicle knows specifically how to respond should you be negatively affected while out in the field! Plus, if you take medication, please be sure to put it in your BEV prior to departure. There are no guarantees in the wild … which is important to remember because in our civilized society we tend to be lulled into a false sense of safety in our day to day lives.
