• S.T.O.P ( stop, think, observe, and plan).

•If still lost, stay put...

• Blow your whistle (if you have one) to signal that you're in trouble and you need assistance.

• Stay warm and dry. put on extra clothing to avoid hypothermia.

• Drink plenty of water. Do not let yourself get dehydrated. purify the water from natural resources.

• Build a fire to keep it warm and to help with your rescue.

• Seek some sort of shelter for protection and comfort.

• Eat foods to keep your energy. Some berries, plants and insects can be eaten safely. Learn which ones by making this part of your trip planning and preparation.

Last but not least,
