What should you remember if you get lost while hunting?

Staying equipped with fire-starting equipment is critical when you're in the wilderness, especially if you become lost while hunting. Fire serves multiple purposes: it can keep you warm, signal for help, and allow you to purify water or cook food. Having the means to start a fire gives you a sense of security and can improve your chances of survival while you wait for assistance.

In situations where you are lost, it's essential to prioritize your safety and well-being. Therefore, staying put can be beneficial because it avoids the risk of getting further lost and makes it easier for rescuers to find you if you signal your location with a fire or other means. The other options, while they might seem helpful in certain contexts, do not provide the same level of security and preparedness needed when you are in an unfamiliar and potentially dangerous situation.
