Most wilderness survival situations start out innocently enough; a fishing trip with friends , a day hike on a familiar trail, or a simple hunting trip. Then suddenly something goes wrong and you are now faced with a life and death situation. For some reason you had forgotten to plan in advance for the unexpected or miscalculated the risks involved in your trip and now you are facing the unexpected. Maybe you just got caught out in the dark without a light or lost your way off the established trail without a compass or GPS to get back out.

Before you start flailing yourself around and running off in circles the first thing to do is sit down and think and get your head right. Take an inventory of things you have; food , water, matches , etc., everything you can use. Then determine what to do based on your real situation. Are you lost or just stranded? Does someone else not with you know your whereabouts and is expecting your return? Does anything in the immediate surroundings look familiar to you? When you're lost and alone in the wilderness with little or no provisions it's easy to slip into depression and feel sorry for yourself. But pity parties seldom help. Learn to S.T.O.P. Stop-think-observe-plan. One mistake in the wilderness can have tremendous negative outcomes. You don't want to head off in the wrong direction and actual move further away from help. Or walk around in circles making it hard for help to find you. Break your leg in civilization and you will probably be able to find a ride to the hospital. Break a leg in the backcountry and good luck!
