The Ranger Handbook
Review The Ranger Handbook, our friendly guide to having an outstanding Outside Lands and follow these Do’s and Don’ts from Ranger Dave and Ranger Ruth:
- Don’t wave your valuables in the air like you just don’t care. Better yet, leave them at home or in a convenient storage locker.
- Do remember that SF summers can get quite chilly. Be prepared—bring layers. Layers are a good way to stay warm and cozy when the fog rolls in.
- Do tune in to your surroundings and if you see something, say something. Keep an eye on your friends and get them help if you think they need it. Look for a member of Outside Lands’ Medical & Safety team and clue them in, anything you tell them is confidential.
