It’s Friday the 13th! Whether you find yourself in a national park or just facing everyday spooky obstacles, fear not, for we have compiled a list of helpful (debatable) tips to help guide you through the day unscathed. May the odds ever be in your favor. Just remember: 1. You don’t have to investigate every strange noise. ?? Ch ch ch ah ah ah. What was that? Bigfoot? Two marmots having a spat? Your stomach growling because you didn’t pack enough snacks? Some things in life are better left a mystery. It doesn’t hurt to zip up your tent and think positively. 2. Watch where you’re running. ????????♀? Why are you running? In a straight line? You gotta mix it up with a zig then zag. Also, watch out for twisted tree roots and the occasional rock. They care for no one and will trip you up just when you thought everything was fine. Also, you’re still in the parking lot. 3: He’s not that cute. ?? Oh my gosh, like, as if! That squirrel is, like, totally adorbs with its fluffy tail and those cute little paws. And that bison, like, needs a friend for sure, but, like, let's not forget that squirrels can totally bite, especially from the bitey end, and that the bison has all the friends they need. Now, like, who packed the bandages and the extra leg splint? 4. Avoid cornfields.?? Did that scarecrow just wave? The only good to come out of a cornfield is, well, corn. Oh, look at that cute Junior Ranger. Wait, are their eyes glowing? What’s with the haircut? Stay calm. Let’s not get husk-terical! 5: Keep your phone charged. Don’t get caught with a dead battery. Even in a crisis, you never know when you'll need to play a video of two cats lip-synching to “Don't Stop Meow” that could attract unwanted attention or lose the ability to frantically search an App for the nearest abandoned bathroom next to a cemetery that is definitely not haunted. Found one! Oh, ?? 6. Don’t split up. ?? Splitting up is so cliche. Friends should stick together for a most enjoyable visit. Friendly reminder: make a mental note of which one of you could outrun a bear. Also, which one of you would most likely push the other down in an attempt to save themselves. If you’re currently asking yourself the second one, you’re already on the ground. Good luck. 7. Don’t light any weird-looking candles or leave campfires unattended. ??? You make think is just a bit of hocus pocus, but the flickering flames of an ancient candle or the light of a cackling fire may beckon unseen spirits (or those loud campers from next door running amok, amok, amok, amok) out of the shadows. Form a calming circle and put out that flame! Image: A tent at night surrounded by tall trees at Katahdin Woods and Waters, Maine. NPS/Sarah King
