Q: If you see a baby animal alone in the wilderness, should you rescue it?
Not so fast. It turns out some of what we think we know about wildlife, surviving in the outdoors, campfires, mushrooms and more might be old-fashioned or just plain wrong.“Myths about the outdoors can be detrimental to the resources we love and cherish,” said Joseph Livingston, statewide public information officer for Colorado Parks and Wildlife. “A proper understanding of the outdoors is vital to knowing how to protect those resources and keep you safe.
The book is divided into 13 topics: avalanches; the North Star ; cold weather and human health; fungus; wolves; earthquakes; campfires; moss ; pooping; lightning; cold-weather survival; sharks; and bears.1. If you see a baby animal alone in the wilderness, should you rescue it? Myth: A baby animal is suffering when alone and in need of human help.
2. Should you eat raw mushrooms? Myth: Mushrooms have health benefits and are safe to pick and eat in the wild. For the avid trail-runner, the information about black bears was personal. “Since we’ve got black bears here in Colorado, and I spend a lot of time hiking and running on local trails, I was really interested in learning about bear safety,” Siebrase said. “Originally I set out to bust the myth that hikers can’t wake hibernating bears, but they definitely can.”4.
“When recreating in wildlife habitats, please keep your dog on a 6-foot leash for your dog’s safety as well as yours,” he said. 6. Is carrying out your own waste always necessary? According to Siebrase, “It is a misconception that Leave No Trace wants people to pack out their own poop by collecting it in a plastic bag.”
