Making adequate plans and being prepared are the most important. If disaster strikes the next most important is to keep a rational and positive mind. Then assess and address your needs in order of immediate danger.
- Stabilize injuries.
- Find or make shelter and, if cold, build fire.
- Find water.
If your injuries are stable, you have warmth and shelter and you have water you can survive for weeks. You can then attend to the last concern - get help and get out:
If it is known where you will be and people are likely to be searching (i.e. if you planned ahead and let people know your plans) stay put and attract attention. Make a signal such as a smoky fire, stamped design on a field of snow or lay out bright tarps or clothes. If a search is unlikely carefully consider and plan your best route out.
