Pack Light but Smart You don’t want to haul around a heavy backpack when you’re enjoying outdoor activities, but you’ll definitely want to bring along the essentials. This will probably include bringing an extra pair of fitted socks and some cream or chafe guard. It’s important to remember that during the fall months it can still be quite warm during the day but much cooler in the evening. If you’re going to be out for a long period of time, it’s important to dress in layers. Have Your Device Checked It’s essential to make sure your prosthetic or orthotic is clean, adjusted correctly, and fitting as snugly as possible. Before engaging in any new activity or embarking on an extensive outdoor adventure, it’s a good idea to make an appointment to have your device checked out. Even if it’s an activity you’re used to, it’s still important to have any type of prosthetic or orthotic device regularly checked and maintained by a professional.
