First off don't panic. Yet try to remember which way you came. Start walking that way. Try to think about how far you may have walked, like maybe a mile or two for example. Then if you can't remember that, climb a tall tree, but be careful not to fall. Do this only during the day light. And the reason for climbing a tall tree is to try and spot someone or a road, maybe even a clearing of some sort. But if your to far out in the woods to see anything. Then don't panic. Cause this article is probably your key to staying alive.
Now you're going to have to hang in there for awhile. You can do this! And eventually someone is going to come looking for you. You're going to need to keep warm if it's cold. Look around and gather up a pile of grass if you can find some or any kind of resources like that. And when you've got your grass, hay, or leaves together in a pile, you want to start stuffing it into your clothing. This way you will be insulating your body, thus locking in the body's heat. For this to work you might have to tuck your shirt tail in your pants to hold your insulation inside your shirt, front and back.
You're also going to need a place to sleep when it gets dark. Look around and find as many long sticks on the ground and start building them into a tepee, by propping them up against each other. Now start braking off some tree branches full of leaves. If you can't find any trees with tree branches full of leaves then mix mud and grass together to form a plaster. Then cake it all over your tepee. Bam! You have a place to sleep at night. And it's the fastest way to build a shelter.
Of course you're going to get hungry after awhile. And the next thing I'm about to say is going to gross you out. Find an old log if any, roll it over to expose the worms and grub worms, maybe even some wood beetles. Now eat them! And why you may ask, because it not going to hurt you, but in fact help you. Yes they are going to taste nasty. There also a good source of protein. It's eat or die of starvation. Unless you can jump out of a tree at night like Rambo and stab a wild pig with a sharp stick.
So if you're going out into the wild be prepared with this article packed in your bags.
It just might save your life.
Thanks for reading my article.
