Downstream Panic

Scenario Camping and outdoor adventure

Camping and outdoor activities are a great way to get in touch with nature and spend a little "quality" time with you and your loved ones, even lost, but is a stage, you should always leave the state of mind and preparedness.This bass note is not to scare anyone, only to inform and perhaps make a difference. It's like
a puncture in the car, at least if you know how to fix it when it happens, you can now!

If hunting, climbing, hiking, camping or just save in a remote wilderness area, both family members and friends can be separated and eventually lost, either individually or in groups, so everyone should be prepared and be aware of what to do and what not to do in the desert and general common sense survival skills.

Before leaving for your trip, tell someone where you are going, how many will, and the duration of his absence if there is an outside person may sound the alarm if you can not return

Never think that this will not happen to you! Getting lost is a milestone that even the most experienced bushmen can recognize and rememder time "that" are lost; these people know the roller coaster of emotions they experience the terror, panic, hopelessness, despair, infinite, and I always remember when it was lost and the chain of events that helped me out of the house there. "

Always have basic principles of his experience abroad, if you use a GPS, which is a fantastic piece of technology, maps, compass, matches or a lighter knife, then add from there … Tent sleeping bag, water, first aid, but the compass and map, and matches or lighters should always be made.

Do not panic, stay calm and show himself and all around you, well, just be prepared to face the situation, in due course.

A simple and practical, especially with children is to have a whistle, or in a secure pocket where they are lost or fall or a rope around his neck, but not my favorite.

Although children are still taught about "stranger danger" This is a different position and that foreigners could be saviors [some children were registered as having hidden "could" Rescuers]

Once a person realizes they are lost, stop and wait! Sit and think about things stay calm.

methods are local orientation of each place, as the sun rises in the west / east, find the North Star and so on.
My favorite is to follow the rivers of water / Downstream, because if you continue to follow the river downstream is usually the "civilization" and drink water along the way.
If the night approaches to prepare for one night [unless] Creatures – both mentally and physically – you hear every little sound in the dark what could freaky.You may decide to find a fire, upstream, away from mosquitoes and where rescuers can see that is the day to keep the fire burning all night to keep a good fire is a warm comfort at this time, but remember the adage "the more fire, more stupid."

The next morning, to shoot consistently without starting a brush fire and put on some green leaves to make enough smoke so that rescuers can find, this is a long, but it sounds necessary.If just shoot your gun, blow the whistle or mourn.

So do not worry – it happens – just stop / wait and be calm.

This So you can enjoy the outdoors Fullwell know you can get away from it!

Some of my thoughts on this matter and there would be many other techniques large survival Bush

Happy trails!
