One step can make a big difference, you'll either slip or make a giant leap. So always have the benefit of your own consciousness because you're not walking on the street, you're trudging on the wild. Look at potential hazards glaring right at you. A rock, dirt or even a tree branch can be harmful especially when you're reckless, tired and mindless of your path. They can be treacherous at times when you least expect to stub your toe and get stuck with your foot. Most of the time, hikers can be in a hurry to reach the next trail but it doesn't mean that they should always trust the shortcuts for the longer route may be a lot safer.
