If lost relax

CONSERVE strength, fluids, heat, by moving as little as possible, PREPARE emergency signals, make shelter, inventory supplies, ration all food, GUARD against infection, intestinal disorders. DO NOT TRAVEL in adverse wether, if injured or confused. Eventually someone will find you. Say with downed aircraft or broken down vehicle. It is easier to be spotted this way.

Determine your location, scout immediate area. DECIDE if best to travel or to stay. Travel only if last resort. Do not separate parties. Mark you path, leave messages behind if you decide to travel. Keep a log.

DOWNHILL, travel along watersheds may triple distance, lead to marshes, thickets, etc. STRAIGHT LINE travel may be best. KEEP knife, spare food, first aid, signal equip on person at all times. TEST for exhaustion---look up at sky and if it appears to be receding, get some sleep.
