Don't go out that way, it's not worth it. Pay close attention to your surroundings at all times. If making observations at a particularly active scene, have a buddy with you as a spotter (NETs always use the buddy system anyway).
+* [[File:PLACEHOLDER.jpg|thumb|NET volunteer unaware hazards nearby because they're concentrating on their phone.]]The internet abounds with tales of hapless phone users gettin' et by a bear or falling off cliffs while focusing all their attention on their phones. '''Maintain situational awareness.''' Pay close attention to your surroundings at all times. Take time to look up from your device while entering data.  It is especially important as you walk from one location to the next that you focus on your surroundings to assure that you stay safe while doing field observations. If making observations at a particularly active scene, have a buddy with you as a spotter (NETs use the buddy system!)
 *Follow all the rules you learned in Basic NET about not entering compromised structures. NEVER enter a dangerous building to gather more data. Injured and dead NETs don't gather data, they become data.
