	~~While on shift, Rangers may need to do a variety of tasks. These could include but are not limited to:~~
	* Walk around the event: We try to have rangers check on all areas of the event periodically.
	* Stay in one place for a while: it’s recommended to hang out and chill with other participants, especially if it’s a quiet day and there are a couple teams of rangers on.
	* Assist participants in acclimating to the woods and the community.
	* Answer questions like:
	** Where are the porta potties?
	** Where can I camp?
	** Can I light my art on fire?
	** Have you seen my pants?
	* Help out agitated and disoriented participants.
	** They may need to go to Sanctuary
	** They may need medical attention
	* Mediate situations and disputes between participants.
	* Address and report any instances of non-consensual physical or sexual assault.
	* Inform participants of potentially hazardous weather situations.
	* Maintain safety perimeters and scene control as needed.
	* Provide other non-confrontational mediation and safety activities as needed.
	* Mobilize medical, law enforcement, fire response, or other life-safety services.
	* Just hang out: maintain a presence at the event & forge relationships with the community.
	* Have fun!

	It is possible to have “too much fun.” Engaging in an activity where you cannot stay aware, alert or available is not appropriate for a Ranger shift. For example, cuddle puddles do not need Rangering.
