“Panic & disorientation” one of many things I have learned which may save your life is not to panic. One of the most often things people do when they're lost is try to get out as fast as they can sometimes darkness is coming and they are running through the woods trying to find any way out this is probably one of the worse things you can and if you do this there is a 100% percent that you will get more lost because you not paying attention to land marks and points around you .So if your lost you should take stock in were you are and what you are doing at all times and think. Taking the time to think may keep you from going in circles.

Fire is a thing that some people will think they can do without but that isn’t the case without your fire animals will come around and even though it maybe summer you can get Hypothermia and die at night. It can get quite cold in the summer and without a fire or some form of keeping yourself warm your body will shut down and you will be in a world of hurt without a fire. There is ways to still stay warm by moving around and getting a shelter ready getting wood hunting around for something to eat anyone of these ways can save your life but don’t sweet this can have the opposite reaction by cooling down your body and making you wet and colder then you where when you started.

Food depending on how big you are! You can survival quite awhile without food providing you have way more body fat to keep your body running. Most people can last three weeks without food but you will get sick very sick so in a survival situation you should try to eat anything food becomes available.

Shelter You should acquire a shelter ASAP shelter can be one of the must have things to survive it can keep you out of the wind and rain and can be a good task to keep your temp up when it gets cold you can use just about anything for a shelter from a poncho to a large fur tree You should keep in mind the better the shelter you have the wormer and longer you can stay in the woods, the better you will feel about your very bad situation!

Signals are a big must in a survival saturation for instance if your don't have some form of signal how will people find you there are many ways to make one but the best way is a fire a fire burning will be seen for miles and if you see someone and you want to make sure that they see you the smoke there is a great way FUR TREES bows that are green will make so much smoke they would have to be blind not to see it!

Stay in one place as your mother my have told you when you were little "stay in one place so I can find you" well it applies here too when searchers look for people they work on a grid if you keep moving you my move into a grid were they had searched the day before and that will make it very hard to find you if yon keep moving. But if you stay in the one grid and when they search your grid you will be found by processes of elimination!

Water is your body's largest chemical component and the average human body is over 70% water. Water is a must if you plan to survival in the summer you can lose quite a bit just sitting still on a hot day your body will need approximately 3 liters to maintain .but if your lost in the woods you will use allot more the best thing to do is to try to stay calm as much as possible which I know can be very hard when your mind is running a 100 miles a minute and you are feeling that you will never get out.
