Welcome to  Battlemoor!
The chirurgeons hope you are safe during all your enjoyment! A  few 
reminders and precautions if you please-

*Elevation- The Colorado  Ski Industry estimates one fourth of travelers 
will experience some form of  altitude sickness. Usually this is only mild, 
with experiences such as  headaches, mild nausea, or tiredness and can be 
relieved with hydration and  rest. Remember, alcohol will only worsen the 
effects, so if you are already  having an altitude headache, a hangover headache 
will only compound things! If  you experience any symptoms that are more than 
mild, please visit the  Chirurgeon's Tent. 

* Sun- Sunscreen! The sun's rays are not filtered  as much, so even when 
they feel less intense, they are, in fact, more intense.  Cool days and cloudy 
days still pose a risk of sunburn. Bring lip moisturizer  and sunscreen for 
exposed areas of skin if you are not used to high sun  exposure. Consider 
sunglasses, as cloudy days at high altitude can actually be  harder on your 
eyes than sunny days, because of increased glare. Please be  extremely 
cautious with babies and children - a sun hat is not enough and  sunscreen will 
need to be reapplied! Reflected light alone up here can sunburn  fair skin 
even when it is in the shade! As a pediatrician, I have seen 2 and 3  month old 
babies blister from sun exposure of less than 30 minutes. We are  fortunate 
that most period clothing covers exposed skin, but it is still wise  to be 
mindful. 

*Hydration- Due to the summer sun, elevation and dry  air you will lose 
water more quickly. Carefully watch your water intake as  well as the intake of 
the young ones that may be around you or in your camp.  Fighters or those 
wearing heavy clothing may need to up to double their normal  water intake! 

*Lions and tigers and bears, oh my!- The Colorado  Division of Wildlife 
estimates 4 mountain lions per 30 mi sq. Combine that  with the loud banging 
and noises found at war and it means the vast odds are  that we will not 
encounter one, but you should still be cautious when allowing  small children and 
pets to wander.

*Creepy crawlies- For the most part,  most spiders you encounter will not 
be poisonous. The only one of concern  would be the widow spiders, with the 
western widow as more common. They  usually nest near the ground in dark 
undisturbed areas. Fortunately, widow  spiders are not aggressive and rarely 
bite except when provoked such as when  sat on, accidentally pressed with the 
hand when moving wood, etc. Most areas  around site have been disturbed 
enough to encourage this species to move  along, however just remind children not 
to stick hands in hollows of trees and  in undisturbed woody piles. 

If you find yourself in need of first aid  (bandaid, basic wound care for 
scraped elbows, armor bites, etc) please come  by the Chirurgeon Tent located 
next to Security. You can also ask of any  person wearing a chirurgeon 
baldric, belt favor or other display of the  chirurgeon badge. If no one is 
available at the tent, please contact any  member of your Battlemoor staff that 
is carrying a radio so they might summon  one of us. 

Wishing everyone a safe trip and a safe War, 
Lady  Keterlyn von Eltz
Outlands Kingdom Chirurgeon

Mundanely, 
Dr Kate  Flather
