NICE SUGGESTIONS TO NOT FUCKING DIE
[Thanks for the name suggestion Arcade; SecUnit clearly didn't take to heart any of the other parts about not being able to tell people what to do.]
1. Never leave the Convoy [Convoy defined as the main trailers plus the radius of the shield and additional vehicles, approximately 80 meters] alone. Survey and scavenging groups should consist of at least 2 members.
2. When leaving the Convoy always inform someone outside of your party of your intended itinerary and duration of travel.
3. Perform regular check-ins during the excursion [ideally every 15 minutes] via the radio.
4. Bring a method of defense that you have training and certification in. This should be used as a LAST RESORT, if unable to avoid aggressive wildlife. Call for backup before engaging.
5. In an emergency situation safety of survey personnel is priority one. Abandon all equipment if necessary. Yes, even if that means the aggressive fauna will destroy it. Or eat it.
6. Never operate a vehicle or weapon while any of the following: Intoxicated, sleep-deprived, distracted, experiencing physical illnesses such as migraines, gastrointestinal symptoms, blood loss, etc.
7. Do not consume or touch unfamiliar plants or other food items without first confirming their safety for human ingestion. Licking counts as consuming.
8. Don't startle your SecUnit.

[Not the point but it's still going to note that for posterity.]
If you know what aloe is then it's not an unfamiliar plant. If it's unidentified you don't know if it'll soothe burns or make your skin melt.

I'm not suggesting we all go out and start eating or covering ourselves in every unfamiliar plant we find, but it seems a little shortsighted to rule out the local flora entirely.

You get a pass because you know what you're doing.

I just knew studying all those field guides would pay off, someday.

Still, I'd prefer not to. So, I'll... continue to try not to do that.

Glad we had this talk.
