Are YOU lost on trails? If so watch this video

Hello guys my name is Ben and this is bad bikes and today we are going to be talking about how to not get lost on mtb trails and what to do if you get lost. But first story time. When i was just starting out riding mtb i had no india how big my trail system was and how to get around in them and so me and my brothers got lost for a few hours biking around in the woods with absolutely no clue where we were until we found some other riders that were able to get us out. So i speak from experience not other peoples input. on that note let's get started.
The first one is to be prepared. Now don't be over prepared but you should at the least have a multi tool and a water bottle. I ride around with a whole backpack full of supplies and gear because if a tire goes out or I break something on my bike it means I'm walking a few miles back home. Not fun.
The next one is to take a print off of the trail you are going to be riding that day in case your phone runs out of battery. I like this alot because there is something that is really cool about having a map. You know it's just MAP.
The best tip of all time I think is to back track. So if you have absolutely no idea where you are you can just turn right back around and ride the way you came. yes you are probably breaking some rule of trail courtesy but who cares when you're stuck in the middle of the woods.
If you're still lost in the woods here is another tip. Ride with someone who knows the trails and can help you out or ride with a friend who has no idea about the trails and then you can get lost together.
The last one is to just take a break. Just put your bike on the side of the trail, m-m-m not on the drive side, take off your helmet and relax, think about where you are and collect your mind and then start back up just remember not to rest too long otherwise you will become very tired.
So that wraps up this video. If you have any questions just ask me in the comments and i will be happy to answer them as always my name is ben and this is bad bikes and i will see you in the next video.
God Bless.
