This document provides information about winter outdoor safety from the Michigan DNR. It stresses the importance of telling someone where you are going when participating in winter activities like snowmobiling, ORV riding, hiking, fishing and cross-country skiing. It provides tips like dressing appropriately, checking weather conditions, traveling with others, and being aware that ice conditions can vary and should be checked before going out on frozen lakes or rivers. Breaking through ice into freezing water is very dangerous and instructions are given on how to self-rescue or assist others if this occurs.
