Bush rogaines normally contain all the dangers and risks you usually associate with a cross-country bushwalk. For that reason, we ask each team to carry the mandatory equipment of a whistle, space blanket and compression bandage. We also recommend each team carries a small first aid kit. It is important to have a first aid kit, to carry sufficient clothing to prevent hypothermia, and to carry sufficient water to prevent dehydration. All competitors are also required to sign a waiver form at event registration that acknowledges they understand the inherent risks associated with competing in a rogaine.
