Lost in the wild, what's the way to help yourself?

Nowadays, more and more people like to challenge and take risks in the remote outdoors. Although it is full of danger, the possibility of unknown challenge attracts many people deeply. However, before we set out, we should adhere to the principle of being responsible for life and master some skills of survival in the wild. In case we get lost in the wild, how can we help ourselves?

First, report information to the emergency contact person at any time. If we really want to explore in the wild, we'd better not be alone. We can find some friends with us. When we are in the wild, we should tell our friends where we are when we go to the next place. At the same time, we should make an agreement on the contact time and place. In this way, if we don't meet our appointment on time in case of an unexpected situation, the other party can call the police to help us.

Second, set up signs to determine the direction of rescue. When we are looking for a way out and need to change the intersection on the way, we should use it to mark the fork. If there is a red ribbon, we can write the name of the person waiting for rescue, the direction to go, and then tie it to the branch or stone at the turning point. In addition, we can also cut the branch of the tree into the shape of an arrow to indicate. We can also depict an arrow on a rock, or use a small stone to put out the direction of an arrow at a fork.

Third, establish shelters and wait for help. Once we are lost in the wild, we must not rush to find our way out when we can not accurately determine the direction. At this time, we should calm down and observe the surrounding terrain, and then use all available conditions to build a shelter to deal with the possible bad weather. Collect some branches and leaves to warm up the fire, find some fruits and small prey, so that we can eat and preserve our physical strength, and prepare for our next rescue.
