The hiking season is in full swing. Every year, a huge number of citizens go to the forest for outdoor activities. The sad practice is that every year the number of people lost in the forest only grows. Unfortunately, not everyone is able to find and save in time. It is for this reason that it is important to know what exactly should not be done in the forest if you are still lost.
1. To wander
If you are absolutely sure that there are people nearby and they will be looking for you, then wandering aimlessly is not the best idea. It is best to stay in one place and constantly call for help.
2. Use phone
The telephone can become the main means of salvation in our time. However, if there is no signal right now and right here, then you should postpone using your gadget. It is better to get out to some open place (preferably a hill) and already there try to use the phone to call for help or indicate your location.
3. Believe omens
In no case should you believe the signs that somehow relate to being in the forest. They have nothing to do with saving a loved one in a difficult situation. Following "folk" signs in a life-threatening situation is likely to end in tragedies. Finding yourself in such a situation, you should only listen to the voice of reason.
4. To be silent
Lost in the forest, in no case should you be silent. Call for help all the time. Of course, screaming takes up a lot of energy, so it's worth calling for help at regular intervals. In addition, it is highly recommended to respond to any suspicious noise.

5. Climb up trees
In no case should you try to climb a tree to look around. There is a rather big chance that a tourist who is not too nimble will simply fall down. Needless to say, it can end like this extremely badly. Injuries resulting from a fall can significantly complicate the situation and even cause death.

6. Drink from puddles
Even if you really want to, you should not do it. In any case, if you don't have a special tourist filter with you in your backpack. Drinking from the puddle will (most likely) end up with food poisoning. The stomach will hurt so badly that you will not be able to do anything further.
