What if I get lost? Eight ways

1, find a way to go back. Even if you have reached the bottom of the valley and are very tired, you should bite your teeth and climb up. Don't be lazy and try other routes by accident.

If you can't find the mountain where there used to be a tourist trail, try to find a stream and follow the direction of the stream. Under normal circumstances, the stream will draw you out sooner or later. When you meet a waterfall, try to bypass the waterfall and continue along the stream.

If there is no stream in the mountain, what you should still do is to try to climb a higher hill. According to the sun or distant reference objects, such as villages, reservoirs, highways, etc. , determine the general direction and orientation, choose a target hill with suitable distance and easy identification in this direction, and move towards the target hill.

If there are many people, consider dividing them into two groups.

One group stayed at the top of the mountain, the other group went down the mountain and headed for the other good mountain. People who go down the mountain should always look back and ask those who stay at the top of the mountain what they think of their direction. If they deviate from the right direction, people at the top of the mountain should remind them to correct their mistakes with sounds or gestures. Cross forward in this relay command way to avoid turning around in the valley.

When a person climbs a mountain, the only thing he can do is to recognize the direction, go forward bravely, keep looking up at the target mountain he has chosen, and believe in himself, and he will definitely walk out of danger and mountain.

So, how can we avoid getting lost and trapped in the wild? Do you take a compass and a map so that you won't get lost? For ordinary mountain climbers who lack experience in outdoor activities, these are of little use. The safest way is to follow the old road, and never leave the mountain road rashly and go down the mountain from the new road. If you are interested in exploring a new road, you must be fully prepared, tell your family and friends before you leave, bring enough food and water, and make eye-catching road signs along the way in case you can't get out.

How to tell the direction in the wild?

1. If you can't find reliable geographical features, you can use the sun to tell which direction to take. At noon, the sun in the northern hemisphere is south of zenith, and the sun in the southern hemisphere is north of zenith.

2. If the sun is blocked by clouds, put the edge of a small blade or nail file vertically on a shiny plane, such as a plastic credit card or thumb nail, to find out the faint shadow on the plane. The sun is opposite to the shadow.

3. If you have a watch with hands and the local time has been calibrated, you can use the following methods to identify the direction:

Put the watch flat and the hour hand points to the sun. Imagine a line bisecting the angle between the hour hand and 12. For example, it is 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and the bisector will pass 2 o'clock. This bisector points due south in the northern hemisphere and due north in the southern hemisphere.

4. If the clouds are thick and you can't see the sun, you can observe the fresh moss on the trunk or rock. Moss usually grows in the backlight. In the northern hemisphere, there are more mosses facing north or northeast, and in the southern hemisphere, there are more mosses facing south or southeast.

But it is not accurate to predict the direction with moss, so if the sun passes through the clouds, it should be used to determine the direction.

If you need to stay in the same place for a period of time, you can erect a stick on the flat ground to measure the direction. Every hour or so, make a mark in the shadow at the top of the stick, and connect the marks into a line, which will point to something.

6. You can tell the direction according to the ant's cave. Because most of the holes of ants face south.

7. If it is a starry night, you can tell the direction according to the stars: In the northern hemisphere, the Big Dipper helps to find the North Star in the north. In the southern hemisphere, the Southern Cross usually points south.

8. If it is in winter, due to sunlight, the part of snow that is difficult to melt always faces north.
