Prepare for Rescue Before You Leave
The time to prepare to be rescued is before you ever need to signal for help. Don't leave home without knowing these wilderness survival tips. When you travel, leave an itinerary of your trip with a responsible, trusted person at home. Include times that you anticipate being at specific places. Write down where you are going, your route, and when you are due.
If your travel plan modifies, appraise your home contact immediately. List any possible alterations to your route. Have pre-arranged meeting places for members of your party if you become separated. This will enable emergency personnel to locate your party if you're lost.
It’s also helpful to include entries about the physical condition of the group members, medicines, tents, clothes, water and contact information for immediate family and physicians.
"I have never been lost, but I will admit to being confused for several weeks.” Daniel Boone
If you find yourself "confused" and in need of rescue there are a variety of ways to let your rescuers know your location.
You will be able to employ an assortment of items in order to signal for aid. This includes flame, smoke, torches, brightly colored clothing, mirrors, whistles, or battery-powered devices. The ability to calm yourself will enable you to creatively consider ways to alert rescuers to your location. Recognizing your alternatives can preserve your life by preventing you from arriving at a mortal mistake.
If you should lose your way, your position should be marked right away. Pile some rocks together, bend some branches, or create some other easily recognizable sign so that you will know the spot. Your home base is now established. Should attempts to find your way out fail, home base is where you will return. This will likewise become the location where you await rescue.
If you decide to leave your point of origin, write a short letter and place it at the marking. Detail your intentions and the direction of your travel. While you journey tag the path at regular points with stones, broken branches, or some other easily recognizable sign to show where you've walked. This helps emergency personnel locate you.
