Make a route plan.
Avoid working cattle, moving machines, ponds, and pits.
THE RANCHWELL FIELD LESSONS
Choose the pasture route
You and an adult plan a walk. The short way crosses a working cattle pen. Another route goes around it.
LOOK. THINK. CHOOSE.Try the situation
YOUR TURN
Which plan should you choose?
Choose what you would do. Every choice has a reason.
TAKE THIS WITH YOU
Three habits.
A safer day.
Know your shelter.
Pick a sturdy enclosed building with electricity or plumbing, or an enclosed metal-roof car or truck with windows closed.
Tell someone.
Agree where you will go and when you will return. Change the plan if weather changes.
ONE MORE SITUATION
You hear thunder on your walk. The tools are still outside. What now?
BRING IT HOME
Make the safe choices.
Try both situations. Then share what you learned.
