SAFETY & EDUCATIONAL USE NOTICE

Last updated: 10/6/26

Educational use only

The Scorecard and Scenarios are general educational tools. They are not medical, fitness-clearance, rescue, or safety advice, and they do not certify your skills, fitness, or readiness for any activity.

Real conditions differ

Scenarios are simplified. Terrain, weather, wildlife behavior, snowpack, water, group dynamics, and your own abilities change the right decision. A "recommended" response reflects one reasonable approach. It is not the only one and does not guarantee any outcome.

Get real training

Backcountry travel carries risk of serious injury or death. Complete hands-on training suited to your activity (for example avalanche, swiftwater, wilderness first aid, navigation, and wildlife-safety courses), check current local conditions and land-manager guidance, and carry appropriate equipment and a way to call for help.

Talk to a professional

Consult a physician before starting any exercise or training program suggested by your results.

Emergencies

In an emergency, call 911 or your local emergency number. Do not use this app to manage a real emergency.

Your decisions are yours

You are solely responsible for your decisions and activities.
