5 Wilderness Survival Tips
If you ever find yourself in a wilderness survival situation, your life could depend on the choices you make and the actions you take. Here are 5 tips to help increase your chances of survival.
Wilderness Survival Tip #1: At First, Do No Harm
This slogan is borrowed from the medical industry, but it also applies to survival. When you first realize that your survival is at stake, you want to be careful to do no harm - don’t make your situation worse.
Wilderness Survival Tip #2: Stay Calm & Be Rational
The worst thing you can do in a survival situation is to freak out or act rashly. The best thing to do is stay calm, ad carefully and rationally decide what to do. If it takes you 30 minutes to calm down and think things through, that’s OK (in most circumstances - if you are cold and wet, for example, you’ll need to act faster).
Deal with any emergency issues, such as injuries, then move on to take care of shelter, water, & food.
Wilderness Survival Tip #3: Shelter First
In most instances, your worst need will be shelter from the weather - cold and precipitation, usually. Find or create shelter before you find food or water.
Wilderness Survival Tip #4: Water Next
After you’ve taken care of your shelter, find water. You can live for a long time with no food, but you’ll only last a couple days without water.
Wilderness Survival Tip #5: Food Last
Once you have shelter and water taken care of, find food.
Thanks for suggesting the tips over survival.It’s really sounds good if we follow atleast some of them.So be positive in any situation.

Nice 5 tips there. I think the do no harm is especially important; panicking and rolling an ankle can be the difference between life and death.

I think staying calm and rational would be the first step, then do no harm.

Your post reminds me of when I got lost in the forest when I was a kid. First thing I did was start running frantically. I fell down, skinned my knees then got turned around and ended up way more lost than if I would have taken a minute to get my bearings and think things through.
