| 1. Your Location - Before heading out for a hunt, inform someone where you are headed Tracking a person or a group will be much easier if they know the location. |
| 2. Stay together - if with a buddy, DO NOT Separate. You need to stay warm with body heat. |
| 3. Do not Wander off - People can't keep finding you if you move around. Your rescuers are moving slowing in search for clues. |
| 4. Warm Place - You need to stay warm and away from the wind & rain. Also try to stay visible for people looking for you. |
| 5. Carry a Whistle - Noise will travel for miles in the woods, so people will be able to hear you. Even if familiar with area it's smart to always carry one. |
| 6. Wear HUNTER ORANGE - or at least carry a HUNTER ORANGE vest in your back pack, hang on a stick to attract people. |
| 7. Cold ground - Don't lie on the cold ground. You can lose precious body heat. Build a mattress with branches, moss and leaves. |
| 8. Eating anything Wild - Be careful what you eat. Along with being hungry you don't want to get sick from anything you ate. |
(Note: If you own a Cell Phone, it may be a great way to call for a rescue. A rescue could take a few hours, so you may need to start a camp fire to stay warm. Basics are to stay warm and calm.)
