So, it's a "thing" now; Fire Season=Summer. We have to accept it for what it is, beyond pro-active preservation and deterrents. We've also experienced some pretty hairy thunder/lightning/flood systems recently... and snow is coming up on us.
So, that brings up a question for all: Do you have a "What If" or evacuation plan while out in the woods?
Let's here your ideas and input. Also, POST/share your stories/pics/videos of your craziest overlanding storms.

Here's an excellent illustration of your topic. Nothing Overland here but a Dad & Son caught in a fire in Glacier NP. https://youtu.be/yXubO7VPow0
Comment from @jcadcars1492: This is a great topic. I was thinking about this as I was camping in the Mazama area the other day. For me I just like to know where the roads lead. If I go left/right what is that way....a good paper map is always in my truck. Is there a gate ?, out and back type trail?, long loop?. I enjoy the unknown trail as much as anyone but having an idea on where you are in relation to things is a good idea.
