[sha2017-orga] Prepare yourself, check the survival guide

[J. Steijlen]

Hmm, indeed.
I did not take into account my own personal filter bubble which (unlike a
lot of potential visitors) includes loads of people who like to hang out in
nature in sometimes less than ideal circumstances.


== Do ==
* Drink more water(!)
* Apply sunscreen
* Take breaks
* Check yourself for ticks & Do ask others to check the difficult spots for
you.
** Ticks are nasty little creatures, surprisingly quick & (rather
unfortunately) quite abundant.
** Tick-bites (pun intended) carry the risk of tick-borne encephalitis
and/or Lyme disease.
** Apply repellant (Deet, or Permethrin if you can get it).
