Survival in the Outdoors

One thing to remember is that the Outdoors is a wonderful place but it can be a very dangerous place. As quickly as it gives it takes back. There are some things you can do that will aide you in your survival should you become lost.


Tips for Survival if you get lost

I have some simple tips that will help your survive if you get lost.

* Be prepared. That is before you leave home make sure you have packed enough food.

* Make sure you have packed enough clothing and that includes clothing for all weather conditions. Just because it may be fine when you leave home it can turn nasty really quickly.

* Let people know where you are going and when you expect to be back. This will aid searchers should you become lost.

* When you are lost stay put. Often remaining in the one place will mean you are found more quickly than wandering about aimlessly.

* Take a GPS device or at least a cell phone with you. You just may be able to ring someone

If you follow the above your survival is almost guaranteed.

GPS yes if you are unfamiliar with the area you are hiking... but in alot of places a regular cell phone wont work! Unfortunately satellite phones are just a bit too expensive.
