In September of 2017, I learned a tough lesson about how overconfidence can lead to complacency and, ultimately, injury.

It was the day before the start of deer season in upstate New York, and we were walking the farm to check the safety of our tree stands and search for recently used trails and buck rubbings.

As September gives way to October, cooler weather arrives. Summer has faded into fall colors. As many of us still seek ways to participate in activities while social distancing, hiking and other outdoor activities could be on the rise.
